    Default Lathe dust extraction for 150mm pipe

    I've seen some very impressive dust collection chute/shrouds/bell-mouths for a lathe but not much for connecting to a 150mm (160mm) pipe. There are a few posts here by people who are really clever and have 3D printed their own bell-mouth shrouds which I am very envious of but it isn't for me as I don't have access to 3D printing and it has been decades since I touched a CAD station.

    So, here is my question, what can I use as a dust collection chute/shroud for a 150mm PVC stormwater pipe set up to collect dust from a lathe? I'm not above making something provided it can be made with regular tools in a workshop, but getting something off the shelf or partially off the shelf and modifying it, would be preferable. I'd appreciate any suggestions you might have.

    BobL kindly made me 150mm and 100mm BMHs for a modest price. I use the 150mm one on my SCMS and the 100mm one on my drill press.

    additional info:

    Chris Parks also posted re having BMH being made and I bought one from him as well

    If you have a lathe and a hot air gun you can easily make BMHs your self.

    Start by reading this thread from about this post and several dozens thereafter

    How to make 6" BMHs are described in post #68
