Dust/shaving extraction
I wear a dust mask and have a Microclene to take the dusk out of the air, but I still have the have the heavy dusk and shavings to clean up afterwards.
I've seen nice ways to pull the dust and shavings straight of the tool site but they use a large 3 phase extractor. Anyone got any systems set up with small portable extractors or otherwise that work effectively?

Beating my own drum - but have a look at this

It has not left my lathe since I first put it on, and I am still very happy with it. It even got an upgrade to Gaffa tape It would do with some extra guides to make it more suited to faceplate or spindle work but as it is it's not a bad compromise. Some chip streams do escape but everything fine gets sucked down. I have not worn a dust mask since I put it on.Cheers,
Shannon.

And a nice rig it is, Robomanic!! Still have that on my todo list.
I haven't seen one that looks more efficient.Last edited by RETIRED; 10th October 2008 at 07:00 AM. Reason: wrong name.

Hi,
I use a cheap commercial plastic Chute which rest on the edge of my lathe like this picture. It takes all the fine dust and most of the big stuff too.
I also have a pleated filter cartridge on top of my dust extractor which keeps the air nice and clean. I wish I had bought a dust extractor 30 years ago - no more gross boogers and no more sneezing whenever i make dust!Cheers,
Steck

Hi check out the various cyclones in the home made tools section There are 2 that are good and the thing about them is that they are inexpensive and use the cheapest form of extraction [A small GMC fan setup] but with a cyclone the dust goes into the bottom bin and doesn't get to rise again Similar to the Donaldson air cleaners made for Trucks in dusty sandy environment cheers WW.Wally

Apologies for getting off topic here
I haven't finished the piece yet. It is bit a green birdseye maple that my brother picked up for me from a nature strip. I am going to let it dry out in the shape you saw and then get the wire bush on the lip and carve some of the extra.Cheers,
Steck
