  • BT3000/BT3100 Belly pan easy dust collection

    I made a belly pan dust collection for my BT3000, using a commercially available, cheap dust pan from one of the woodworking supply houses with a 4" hose fitting.

    It seems to work effectively very simple DC belly pan under BT3000. Not tightly fitting I wanted to allow air in to carry the dust to the DC, pulling on a closed cabinet is not a good idea. So the plywood sits on the stand, not screwed down or anything. So there's air coming in thru the ends and the Shroud dust port arc. This is an actual picture after use, not cleaned up. The DC is connected with two 4-inch hoses to the shroud and the belly pan. The biggest issue is if I don't use a ZCTP the thin, long cutoffs get sucked in and end up in the Shroud hose jamming it up.

    The BT3000 end panel is removed for photographic illustration; I just set the plywood setting on the bottom flanges of the saw after cutting an opening in the plywood and fastening the plastic pan. No modifications, holes or attachments were made to the saw.
    I've been using this for years.

          Someone remarked how they had a hard time setting bit heights. Here is a brief tutorial on several ways and the best way I have found.

          The classic way is to use a ruler and measure the tip of the cutting bit, as shown below:

          This is some problems, hard to see, parallax, resolution. And that the tip of the bit is not flat but pointed. The cut will be to the depth...

          by LCHIEN
          Trying to drill into a outside 90 degree corner, 45° to each side, is tough, the drill bit keeps wanting to walk off.

          by LCHIEN
          Here's how I do my Featherboard operations. As you know, Featherboards are spring boards meant to hold the workpiece against the fence snugly to ensure accurate rips while freeing both your hands for hand over hand and push stick smooth, even feeding of the workpiece to avoid burning and sawmarks.

          The Feather board is the classic one that they suggest you make.... Mine was made 20+ years ago, apparently a 1x4 piece of pine wood with one end cut at 30 degrees. 15-16 inches long 3 to...
