I bought a used Delta 37-280 Jointer (picture attached). It works great, but it throws chips and sawdust all over the floor. There's no port for a vacuum - it's open all underneath the jointer and it sprays out the chips.
I would be easy for me to box in the upper half of the stand to create a box into which all the chips/dust could collect. I could make it smaller with a hole on either end for a vacuum attachment and an air inlet. Or, I could make it larger with a drawer that I could just empty.
Suggestions? Advice? Anybody done this? Am I missing something here?
