Delta BS Dust Collection Accessory

[Thom2]

I know this is a little late for Steve (sorry ).

I'm only posting this so that it might be a help to someone else with a Delta BS.

Delta makes an accessory for DC on their BS's ($35'ish available from Iturra) and it actually works a LOT better than I ever thought it would......

The really nice thing is that the hose exits out the back of the saw ....

My Delta bandsaw is only about a year old and actually has a 4" dust port on that side of the saw -- though not the same type of shroud that you have pictured below. It just didn't collect enough of the dust and I still ended up with a lot down in the bottom.

I'm trying to decide how whether or not to run a 4" line to the new port I installed and the old one as well -- or just do what the mag article said and cap off the old one.

Thanks for the pictures though. I'd like to take a look at that as maybe I can incorporate that kind of shroud to get better air flow and dust collection for the port I did create.
