Dust collection problem solved!

[Texas splinter]

Earlier I posted that I had mounted the tubing for my DC up and over to my saw and jointer but it quit working and plugged up with chips and sawdust. The 1HP Delta DC just wouldn't pull up and over.
So, I formed a "maching center" in the shop and ran the tubing on the floor. The black hose comming frombehind the saw in the last photo is the hose that I hook to my Shark Guard when it is mounted. there is a 2 1/2" blast gate where the hose is connected. (By the orange band)
Oh BTW, the light colored "bridge" of the outfeed table lifts off to use the jointer. The saw, jointer and bandsaw are all hooked up to turn the DC on whenever they are started up.
Here are some photos:

Nifty solution!

nice setup and an efficient solution!

Once the 'bridge' is off, how do you actually get in there to use the jointer? Doesn't seem to be much room between the bt and the jointer to stand. Do you just lean over it?

that's a very compact DC distribution system. Keeps the total piping to a minimum. Looks like its aching for an extension where you put a 4" port in the left side of the BT3... that would do a serious job along with the rear port in keeping the saw clean inside.

Correct me if I am wrong, but it looks like the PVC attaching to the BT3k is slightly smaller and inside the remaining pipe...sort of a slip extension. So, it looks to me that after removing the bridge, the OP can just slide the BT3k back a little to get to the jointer.

Actually, there is quite a bit of room there. The extension is 34" long it's just the camera angle that makes it look short. I can stand there, but walking between them might be tight.

The 4" duct drops to 2" just before the BT3. If necessary, I could remove the screws on the 4" duct comming off the blast gate and move the saw. (the ducts are all secured with 3 sheet metal screws, #8 X 1/2".)
