This project is the result of an attempt to create a prototype for a dust collector
pan for the bottom to the BT3K cabinet. The idea here is to keep the dust from falling
onto the items stored on the lower part of the saw stand. Since I have been planning to
enclose the saw stand with a wood cabinet, I wanted to use the space below the saw
for tool, blade, and jig storage. An additional goal was to improve dust collection
inside of the saw and above it also. The aim is to collect more dust inside the cabinet
and hopefully extend the life of the motor and other mechanisms in the cabinet by
keeping it cleaner. The use of a dust collection system or shop vac is essential when
using this pan.
