    Default Need large dust hood for old saw 14x16"

    Hi. I'm new to the forum. I'm from western NY in the US . It seems like this is the best (most popular forum). I used to do woodworking several years ago and stopped cause of time/job. I'm looking to get back into it and build some kitchen cabinets. I did this before for my old house and they came out great. I have also made some very nice furniture pieces. My main machine is a grizzly 1022z (about 15? yrs old)? Somewhere around there. Can't remember. It did the job very well. I have several stationery grizzly machines, some delta+ a bunch of other misc. smaller tools. Just cleaned/polished all the cast iron on all of them.

    Anyway, I'm looking to put a dust hood on the bottom opening of the saw which measures a 14x16" opening. I have a dust hood that is 14x14 and I used some cardboard taped to the sides to close the gaps before. But, I'm looking for a more/better permanent solution. I'll take any suggestions, comments into consideration.. Thanks

    That Grizzly saw you refer to is what we call here in Australia a 10" Contractors table saw.
    I have a very similar saw except mine has a 12" blue.

    I got mine about 15 yearS ago and found an effective hood to collect sawdust was obtained by

    • Retracting the blade
    • Tipping the saw upside down
    • Disconnecting the legs from the upper cabinet.
    • Constructing an inverted pyramidal type hopper from a single sheet of Al such the it fit in between the legs and the cabinet.
    • The hopper was made so the join overlapped and pop riveted together
    • Cut a hole in the tip of the inverted cone big enough to insert a PVC "threaded" coupler.
    • Reattach the legs and invert the saw.
    • With care the hole in the hopper is cut just big enough so the threaded section of the coupler is force threaded into the hole in the AL cone too


    Here's what it look like with a 4" PVC fitting connected to a 1HP DC.
    I have since upgraded my DC and fitted a 6" fitting a and there is no visible dust left inside the cabinet

    To further improve extraction I removed the side of the plastic underside blade hood but this exposed section of the back needed to be closed up as shown here.
    The 4" ducting and 1HP Dc combo still left quite a mess but this disappeared once I used 6" ducting and larger DC.
