Shop Notes 92- Dust Free Blade Cover Plans Anyone?
Hi,
I need to make a blade guard with dust extraction to replace the crappy guard on my Luna 12" TS. I like the look of the design presented in Shop Notes Issue 92. Unfortunately you can't buy individual issues of Shop Notes online. You either have to buy all issues on a DVD or subscribe to their online library. I don't want to spend that much for one set of plans.
Do any of you guys have this issue and would be kind enough to scan and email it to me?
Cheers,
Chris

Use of a vacuum cleaner size hose is not going to capture much (especially fine) dust
I've never understood the need some blokes have to see the cut taking place. I set my fence to give me the width of cut I want and push the wood through. It comes out the other side at the desired width. If I'm cutting to a line, I align the blade with the line and set the stop on the sliding carriage before switching the saw on. Both techniques allow me to keep my eyes on where my hands are. As some sage woody once said: "nobody deliberately cuts their own thumbs off".
I will be using the 50mm hose on my Festool vac. It generates an impressive amount of suction. I'm hopeful it will gather most of the fine stuff. I'll look at adding bristle edges as you suggest to improve airflow.
