I am in the process of working up a design for a mobile base and table extensions for my BT. I have looked at most of the threads that show what some of the folks here have done and theres lots of good ideas and implementations. My question is how folks have incorporated dust collection.
1. Right now I have a belly pan under my BT that does a great job of keeping the inside of the BT clean and the floor. I have seen various mobile base designs that have the saw hinged so you can lift it and clean underneath but has anybody incorporated DC into the base similar to a belly pan. With the base enclosed is it even necessary? I was considering building a "tray" into the top of the base the saw sits on that would allow my to plug in either a 4" or 2" dc hose.
2. I will be building a router table into my extension and will be adding DC to catch the under table chips/dust. I am trying to figure wether to just add a spearate dust port or integrate the DC hoses so I can have one port for the base and then use gates to direct to either the saw or router.
All thoughts or experiences welcome
