Not sure if this is best here or in the Workshop forum, but...
I'm setting up dust collection for my shop, and I'd like the Creek's advice on the bandsaw. Normally I'd do whatever Bill Pentz recommends, but I can't quite figure out his diagram.
The bandsaw is a Rikon 10-325. Dust collection is a ClearVue, so I have a 6" drop coming down to the BS, where it'll come into a Clearvue splitter that goes from 6" to two 4" connections. One of the 4" lines will go to a collection point right below the table. I'm undecided on where to run the other 4" line. The easiest point would be to the collection port on the bottom of the lower wheel enclosure. However, I'm tempted to run a flex line and attach it to the upper guide. Back when I was just using my old 2hp HF duct collector piped to below the table, I used to get a fair amount of dust on top of the table and on the workpiece. Also, the port on the lower wheel enclosure seems redundant if I have collection under the table.
Thoughts?
