I am setting up a DC for the lathe to catch dust when sanding primarily. I will use it when cutting too but I am looking for some kind of a hood that I can fit a 4 inch hose to. I will make a stand for the hood but I want to be able to move the 4 inch hose from the hood and attach to the drill press when needed and also attach to a vacuum head to clean up with at the end of the day. So I need hood recommendations either purchase or home made. I can make from sheet metal or plastic. I also want to move this around so is there some kind of quick attach device that I can use instead of using a clamp on and off all of the time? I bought a 2 stage compact unit 1-1/2 horse for this it has two 4 inch ports. One I will hook to the bandsaw and the other will go from the lathe to the drill press as needed. If possible I will find some way to use it to as a vacuum or maybe to attach it to my track saw and other various hand held tools. I have never set up a dust collection system before so any information would be appreciated. I will put blast gates on but I am unsure as to where they should go, at the DC or at the machine.
Thank you
