Took the day off, messed around the shop some.
The DC bag was getting half full, I had recently hooked two 4" hoses up to my BT3000, one at the rear dust port reduced to 2.5" and the other to a belly pan I installed. Consequently the DC is sucking a lot more air and the swirl is more intense and beginning to suck mucho dust off the top layer of the bag and send it into my Grizzly canister.
I have equipped mine with a neutral vane maybe its working too well? Anyway I decided its taken me a year to fill half the bag so I decided to pitch the bag and install a new one. Thank god for magnets to hold the bag in place when installing the clamp.
So I took the side panel off to check the belly pan, it totally keeps the inside of the saw clean. Took these pictures:
And while I am taking pictures, here's my BT3000 tool holder, holds all the tools you need for everyday work on the BT; There's a magnet holding the thing to the side panel. I also hang the arbor spacers on the same hooks with the wrenches when the dados are on. The two wrenches are 3/4" (arbor nut) and 1/2" (splitter and blade guard nuts). Pawn shop purchase loose stock couple of bucks each.
