Changes to Delta saw's blower

[morry]

Here is a pic of the flexible blower I have added to the delta saw. The old blower and hold down have been removed as I found them to be just about useless. The flexible tube is available from Hare & Forbes and is used to supply coolant to lathes and mills. I might add a fish tank air pump to the set up as the supply of air is only usefull at full speed. If anybody is interested I can supply a small sketch of the alloy hoder block.

Neat job Morry, would let you blow dust away from the operator which is good.

Mate, had you considered hooking up a vacuum above and below the table, bit easier on the eyes and lungs.

Neat conversion.

A lot of the members in my scrollsaw group have that Delta and the majority use a aquarium pump on the saw along with the tubing you used, one even used the old metal flexible tubing from an old lamp.

my p-20 comes standard with the flexible tubing, the amount of air output on the lower speeds is the only thing im not totally happy with but its enough to get the dust off the line.
