The spinning blade forces the dust down and to the rear, and the DC does the rest. will need to be cut in the bucket to attach (or to straddle part of motor, etc.), but in the end the bucket will sort hang from the bottom of the blade with duct tape. Run a flex line from this to the DC outlet of the cabinet. Cut a 4' hole in the bottom at the other end for a 4' DC connection. Put an end on the top, then cut a 12' wide x 14' hole in one end. Get a 2-1/2 gallon plastic bucket, non-tapered.

What size pipe are you running to the Unisaw? One thing that I have seen is having one of those guards suspended on an overhead system, and if that has a dust collection hose attached, it does a good job of catching the dust that flies off the top of the saw blade into the sawyers face and lungs. In all situations I have seen, you must open the saw cabinet hatch periodically and push the dust by hand towards the collection hose to keep the saw cabinet empty. 10' saws offer the convenience of not having to shovel the saw dust from the cabinet. I have worked in shops that have the biggest cyclones you ever saw for dust collection. Any little thing that I did to make the air inlet at the blade slot helped cut down on excess dust. Pull the tilt hand wheel off and put this piece of rubber on to help seal the air gap. Take a piece of rubber 12'' x 12'' and cut it down the middle matching the slot at the tilt hand wheel, but not all the way to the ends. Get some silicone and seal between table and cabinet, and seal the slanted bottom in cabinet. Sealing around the motor and still being able to tilt and raise/lower it seems to be the real problem.ĭoesn't your cabinet saw have an outlet in the cabinet to hook up a dust collection hose? We don’t want to use anything that hangs over the blade. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to hook a tablesaw up to dust collection? We've got a pipe hooked into the cabinet at the floor of our Delta Uni-saw (right tilt).
