Drill Press Dust collection
One of the things I wanted to tackle as part of my new DC piping was a better device for holding a 2.5" hose and fitting near where I'm drilling. I wanted to share what I came up with because it ended up being fairly inexpensive and will work with both a permanent DC installation or a shop vac with 2.5" hose fitting.
I purchased this from Amazon: Universal Flexible Magnetic Metal Base Holder Stand; and then picked up one of these hose clamps at the local Tractor Supply: T Bolt Clamp, 2 in.

The magnetic clamp is very nice. All metal construction and easy to reconfigure with the flip of the lever. I'm still looking for a better solution for the dust hood than clamping to the DP table. I'd like to be able to angle it so maybe a mic stand might work. I also have another idea for building a custom holder but I need to draw it out first. I'll need to get someone to weld it up if I decide to go that route.
