    LD,

    Thanks. Yours is a similar set up to mine being located against a wall.

    I am now reconsidering my plan, opting instead (I think) for a single 6" port at the rear on the table. I will then use pool hose to direct the bulk course stuff directly to the port.

    I also figure nice curved sides to a similar radius as the saw will keep airflow smooth and hopefully heading in the right direction rather than creating eddies near 90 degree corners.

    Hopefully angling the top of the hood will also have similar effect.

    Just need to work out how to construct it.

    If only making the thing was as easy as drawing it with sketchup.

    Hi Glen:

    I agree that curved sides would be very beneficial. I just didn't have the patience (and perhaps the expertise) to build my shroud that way!

    Getting closer to making the final home for my SCMS.

    I was going to attach yellow tongue to the top hats of the wall. But found they were near 3/4 inch out of plumb. But of course, not consistently 3/4 inch ... Was all over the place. Decided to stud it out, fitting each stud by checking for the top hats and adjusting depth to get plumb.



    With a straight and plumb surface, I have now attaches the yellow tongue, and started construction of the scms table.

    I decided to shorten it a little compared to the original plan. Was just a waste of space I think.



    Won't be long now and I can get the saw off the makeshift trestle table.

    Hi Glen:

    Thanks for the pics, that wall and bench look great! I imagine you'll use a short extension cord under the bench to power the saw or is there another GPO closer to the saw's position that I missed?

    Thamks LD,

    I will run another gpo closer to the saw once its in position.

    There will need to be several along that wall for the saw, drill press, compressor (which will sit in the far right cavity under the bench), and lathe.

    But would rather get sparky in for the lot rather than one by one

    Looking good Glenn

    I built a similar style bench for my SCMS and I'm so glad I did.

    Thanks groeneaj. I am looking forward to finally having a home for my sliding saw. Those puppies really produce a pile of dust.

    Tony .. nice to see you registered ! Much nicer doing this than working your guts out in Singapore.

    Some ideas but nothing works without a lot of air flow and some saws are just impossible like my Bosch Glide Saw.

    Thanks Chris. That first video gives food for thought. I like his little elbow on the saw port to direct the chips .. simple and effective. I notice the extraction port is at the top of the enclosure, whereas I was planning bottom. Do you think it matters ?

    For me, top extraction would mean less turns in the ducting .. which i figure has to be better.

    Anyways, work on the bench continues.





    I made the auxiliary fence assemblies so they could be moved forward and backwards for alignment with the saw fence, and height adjustable for coplanarity with the main table.

    Seems to be working well.

    Hi Glenn:

    Your bench looks fantastic. I love the fact that you are making it adjustable. I took forever trying to get the sides coplanar and then sometimes I see that things do not stay perfect and the saw needs shimming from time to time. Way to go!

    As for top versus bottom extraction, I have a 5" port at the bottom (back left) and a 6" port at the top (front right). I think the issues here have to do with whether you are more concerned about the chips or the fine dust? My anecdotal experience is that the bottom port gets the lion's share of the chips, and perhaps some of the dust, but the top port get's the lion's share of the fine dust. I base this on the fact that the top port is very much closer to the cutting action and I can strongly feel the airflow coming from the top port with my right hand (as I make the cut). But I stress that this is anecdotal and I do not have any dust measuring equipment.

    Cheers.
    Warm Regards, Luckyduck

    Fence tables all complete now.



    Height adjusters have worked a treat, making it very easy to raise or lower the auxiliary tables so they line up.

    I am now thinking about how I can use the little cavities as drawers .. but have to avoid my height adjustment bolts.

    Time to move onto rear wall and the enclosure for the dust extractor. My DC has a 6" port, with a crappy transition to 3 x 4" (which will end up in the bin).

    I suspect a standard 6" sewer or storm fitting will plug right in, but was considering a rubber boot so I can hose clamp them together. Then when time to empty bags, I can unclip, pull out of enclosure to empty, push back and retighten hose clamps. Anyone seen these generally available ?

    Have now studded the rear wall of the shed. Once complete, I spent hours staring at the DC to work out how to best position it so that:

    I can get it out easily to change bags.
    Vent through the rear wall.
    Not occupy too much space.

    Work continues.

    Hi folks,

    I have been trying to work out a solution for operating the DC remotely, while maintaining the zero volt release switch functionality.

    For those more electrically savvy than I - I was wondering what you think of the following.

    http://techome.com.au/images/TH591-I...mail-size-.pdf

    My DC motor has a rating of 9.6A according to the faceplate.

    It seems like:
    1. Remote controlled switching
    2. Zero volt release
    3. A little pricey !!
