Bandsaw Dust Collection
Comments (0)
I own two 14" bandsaws that work well except for dust
collection. The older saw has no dust port at all, while the newer model has a
port that’s too small to be very effective. I found that the solution was to
attach a length of 4"-diameter metal duct to a dust-collection hose, and
then place 1"-diameter rare-earth magnets in a vertical row along the edge
of the saw’s lower blade cover. (Four or five will do the job.) Placing the
open end of the duct directly under the saw table provides remarkably good dust
collection. As an added benefit, the metal duct serves as a quick-connect
fitting onto the 4"-diameter dust ports on most of my other machines.
