Thread: Dust Bag

Do as I did, box it in with some 3mm MDF and connect it to your full sized cyclone

The downdraft around the gaping slots grabs most of the dust. One day I may get keen and attach to the overhead guard and probably then get 99% of the stuff

ps. whats Tritons views of these "improvements" we make. Any ideas ?

Tony, I have no idea what they think but I am sure that they know what we do on this BB and are aware of the numerous improvements members have suggested.

In the past when George was in charge these mods would be incorporated in the next version but that does not seem to happen anymore now that it is owned by a bigger company.

They still make great products and have fantastic after sales service but their testing in the new products they release is inadequate.

Maybe they should get Triton club members to do their beta testing by supplying them with new products at a much reduced price.

Best idea you've come up with yet, Peter!

Yes Peter I like the idea.

Zathras you got any pics of what you did. It sounds promising
but then what effect would I have putting a hose from the Triton saw air outlet to my dust collector :confused:

Tonto,

hot from the shed

General side view, the side panels can be removed to allow crosscut mode, but I haven't used that since I got a SCMS. The hole is to allow fresh air into the saw's motor.


A shot below, the containment is like an oblique inverted pyramid, As it turns out there is JUST enough space at the front to flip the saw over. I made it like this to clear the power switch unit.


A view inside. nothing fancy but a big 4" hole and accumulated dust that has settled within


Since the bottom is all sealed up, I have made the saw guard removable from above by countersinking one of the bolt holes in the saw guard and tapping into the cross rail, 1/4" WW thread used. The series 2000 is removable from above by default.


Hope all this works linking jpg files from my ISP webpages to the forums....

Ray you are a clever fella, it looks worthwhile and guess what Iam doing this weekend?
Thanks again
Tony

Peter- looks like you have some competition in the mod department! Dust busters unite eh!

Stuart, there is always room for one more to make mods and the different ideas help us all.


Peter.

Thread bumped for Tonto

Opps.... eeerrrr , aaarrrhh well sometimes you try to get things done and it dont happen then you forget the answers you got then you post again.
Iam not the first and I'll bet Iam not the last to do that.

Thanks Ray But I HAVE gone down Bigshed's route and will be having a go ay getting air into the motor via Foxtails idea
