Hello Creekers! I've been a lurker for quite a while and thought now was as good a time as any to post.
I am pretty much a beginner wood worker (expecially after seeing the work here). I have built a few pieces of furniture and right now am working on a walnut entertainment center for our bedroom. Well after machining some of the walnut, I started coughing and stuff. I then learned that Walnut has properties that are poisonous and I know realize that I deperately need a DC.
One problem that I have is that I have an older Unisaw that doesn't have DC fittings. I need to add a dust collector to the saw and not sure the best way to go about this. Should I enclose the motor cover and add the hose on the bottom? Or should cut a hole in the back of the cabinet?
Another thought is should there be something in there to collect the dust to the hose fitting???
Anyone else have these problems?
Your thoughts are much appreciated.
Thanks!!!
