In this video, I continue the adventures in dust collection by turning my attention to the table saw. When it comes to sawdust that's ejected in the air, the table saw is the worst offender in my shop.
While my table saw did come with a dust hood, it is, by all definitions, terrible, and I think we can certainly do better.
So over the last few weeks I've been tinkering away and have come up with this dust hood design which fits onto my existing riving knife.
It's a simple design, utilising only a few easy to source components:
6MM MDF
3MM PVC Clear Sheeting (you can opt for perspex or acrylic if you really want)
EVA Foam Sheet
M8 Furniture Bolts (optional, you can use just plain screws)
M5 Threaded inserts (optional if you don't plan on having a second screen)
M5/M8 star handle bolts / caps.
The final design works pretty well, there's probably a little room for improvement, but there is no longer any dust that will be flung into the air, which is a win in my books.
Keep an eye out for a special cameo.
Thanks for watching! Anthony.
PLANS:
If you'd like to build this yourself, or perhaps modify or enhance the design to suit your needs / table saw, then the link below has the Lightburn files, as well as template files for cutting out using a router.
