So the ducting is installed, the lathe is moved into its permanent position, and the hoses are run to everything shy of the workbench, and the drill press I was able to test the dust collection on the following...
Table Saw lower end and Shark Guard.
Band saw, lower and upper guide ports.
Lathe, dust hood attached to rails behind lathe...
The lathe dust hood disappoints. I have LOTS of strong suction at the hose, just but the hood is honestly too far away from the work. I need to look into this matter further...
The band saw dust collection worked great.
The table saw / shark guard worked better than I had planned for. I had LOTS of plastic dust from where I had sanded down the pipe ends to even them up without having any dust collection hooked up, that stuff was all over the table saw top. Not only did the dust collector keep the blade shroud, belly pan area clean, and kept any dust from coming out from under the Shark Guard, but it pulled the plastic dust from within 6" of the shark guard, over, and into the guard and on to the separator...
And while I still have tons of cleaning to do, I finally had the shop clean enough to be safe to...
#1. Cut the molding pieces to replace the door molding in the guest bath. That is now installed, just needs to be caulked, and painted.
#2. Cut the trim for the drill press table from scrap walnut. The front piece is in glue right now. I am only trimming 3 sides. The glue seems to be holding okay on the edge of the plywood, but without a doubt, I will be adding some dowels to keep things secure. I sure hope this looks, and works as good when its done, as it seems like it should on paper, and in my head...
My back is telling me enough is enough, so it's time to call it a day. I will hit the shower, take the meds the Dr. gave me, and hopefully catch up with LOML before I drift off to sleep...
