Any guess of where this fell off from

[Craig D Peltier]

Found this in my DC hose.:eek:
I run a jet TS a Perfomax drum sander and a Ridgid planer off of it.
Theres also a Y that runs a grizzly jointer but it wasnt in that hose.
I looked with flashlight in TS cabinet.Didnt see anything.
Think it goes on end of a motor? The side without the lips on it is all beat up. It hasnt been in there more than 3 weeks.Its a new hose.

That looks like the nut that was on my Jet jointer. I don't have it any more, but, I think it's was used to lock the fence down (item 24???). If this were the nut I don't know how it would get in your DC unless it was sucked off the floor.

WOW!! Now that would be scary!! Do you have a parts diagram of these units with the owner's manuals? If so, I would look through those for something that looks similar, then check the machine. If you don't have them, I'd look at the manufacturer's websites and see if you can down load the diagrams. I'd definately not use those pieces of equipment until I knew where that thing goes! Jim.

I do use it to clean floor I will look at my parts diagrams as well.
Thanks

Thanks for jointer Idea. I looked at my fence lock lever and it pulled right out of hole.There was no nut on end.It threaded on and now it locks it down. Hopes that was it. I might have sucked it up with hose while cleaning. Im going to look more behind jointer and under dc.I did hear something fall from that area but didnt know what it was.Hope I cant find another nut and that was it.

[Craig D Peltier]

Didnt find anything else around dc/jointer. Thanks again

[David DeCristoforo]

Craig, I'm really glad you found out what that was before you tried to use your jointer! Another potential disaster averted by the quick thinking of the SMC Emergency Response Team... (AKA SMCERT)

[Todd Hoppe]

I'm glad that someone else was able to identify that. I KNEW that I had seen a nut like that on one of my tools

#24 was the culprit. beeter than a motor mount.

If you have a single stage DC where everything passes through the impeller, never use it to sweep up the floor. Metal striking metal in the blower could cause you a very bad day/week/month/year...
