Dust collection Pictures

[Marc Prudhomme]

I have a delta 1200 CFM with 1 micron bag and I have it hooked up to my rigid Table saw.I want to run PVC with blast gates to hook up my router table,miter saw,and any other tool that I want.The collector uses 4"hoses.What size PVC do I get to hook up with these Hoses and what is the best way to modify(duct tape?).Does anyone have pictures of there system to give me a good idea of where I should begin.

Marc, take a look at my setup (http://baspluim.googlepages.com/mydustcollectionsetup). Maybe that will get you started.

Marc, I don't know how much these pictures will help you, but they might give you some ideas. First of all, I fabricated these blast gates myself from plans of another creeker, Terry Hatfield I believe, and I was very impressed with their performance. I firmly believe that they perform better than many mass produced gates. Easy to build and relatively inexpensive also. The floor sweep is effective and shop built. I even modified my contrator tablesaw for collection. The gates shown are 4" and 5" gates.

Woodstock international has a lid for the garbage can, if you don't feel like making one.

Just found this idea for connecting hoses... RV holding tank supplies.
