I have a bunch of contour bandsawing to do so decided it was a good time to do something about the ineffective dust collection on my Grizzly 0513 17" bandsaw.
The solution I came up with is really simple and quite effective so I thought I would share.
4" pvc drain tile pipe
Cut end of pipe to ~45°
Cut a slot for the lower rear blade guide (I just physically lined up the pipe and marked it in place).
Drill a hole for 1/4" bolt to attach to the arc slot in the table trunnion.
Easy to remove by simply unscrewing the wing nut and pulling off.
Noticeable air movement at the throat plate (after two hours of sawing significantly less dust accumulation of dust than when using stock port).
Should accommodate a full range of blade sizes.
Unfortunately this solution will not permit the table to tilt.
Ask questions if you've got 'em.
Be well!
