DIY DC "Arm"
This is from a design in Woodsmith Magazine #159.
I liked it on sight - simple, (relatively) easy to make and IT WORKS very effectively.
I used DIY 1/4" studded knobs (a bolt captured in a 2 part soft-touch Knob). The article used 5/16" - IMHO over-engineered. I chose t-nuts instead of brass inserts. It all grips very securely.
Edit: The arm segments are 7" long x 2" wide
On the scoop - the hardest thing I've ever had to make! Tapers, bevels, rabbets - 2 days work, with LOTS of think time. 2 screws joining the tab, otherwise all glued.
All finished in wipe-on poly
BTW - Not obvious, but the base is just clamped wherever you need it - in this case; to the DP table.
I'll leave it to you guys to think about all the applications this thing has...

Looks like it would work great for several different tools. As usual, Rod, very professional-looking. But it seems to be missing something . . . MDF?

wow, that is awesome, think of the mobile tool applications, and hook that up as the end of a retractable suction hose, or two...

My first thought looking at the 1st picture was "you have got to be kidding" . By the 3rd I was think, "I got to build me one of those"
Thanks for the inspiration.

You're right Karen - And the article uses 1/4" hardboard for the scoop, but with all the rest, I just didn't think it would look right [quote:Originally posted by GeekMom

The only problem I have with Rod's jigs is that most of them look better than some of furniture that I have made.Comment

I knew it was rod from the image before I saw the name. Yeah, his jigs are quite spectacular. That would indeed be darned useful, can hook the shop-vac or the DC to it. Very nice. I think I might make one for my DP.

But I am confused: After having seen so many photos from Rod's shop, I was convinced australian wood products cut dust free...

Sweet looking, Rod. I might just have to borrow your design.
BTW — how many pallets of birch-ply do you go through in a year?
