Green Steam

As I have mentioned, the dust extractor is now in the other shed, and because of the no-volt release switch, I can’t easily switch it on and off from the main shed just by switching the power on and off, either directly or with a remote control powerpoint switch.  There is a remote control unit [...]

Woodshop Dust Control

As I have been diving further into setting up the collection system in the workshop, I thought I should have a look at the only book I know of that deals specifically with the issue: Woodshop Dust Control, sourced from Carbatec. I will go into the book & contents in more detail in the near [...]

Tubes, Tubes and More Tubes

This is still a continuation of the implementation of the dust system – yeah, not the most interesting thing to continue with (although I am enjoying the progress), but it is what I am currently working on after all. I’ve decided to try the tie the jointer into the system after all- not confident that [...]

Around the Corner

Another small window, another small amount of progress on the re-configuration of the dust collection. At the end of the tablesaw, I finished with a coupling, so the tablesaw can be detached at any time if moving it is ever required. To hold up that end, I decided to make my own support, which is [...]

Deconstructing the Dust Kit

When I saw the kit for the new Carbatec dust collection system (and the clear tube setup), it wasn’t going to be long before I was fitting it to the shed.  And the timing is rather appropriate – the system needed a revamp with the various item moves that have been happening.  A dust system [...]

Tonight, at Midnight

I have some news to share about new product, but I have had to sit on it until then… Come midnight though, officially Friday, and I am free to release it to the blogosphere! The article is written, and is sitting in the queue with the release timecode set……. ticking, ticking What can it be [...]
