Thanks tony, There great for your shop. I was just going to drill hole’s in a piece of 1/2 plywood. But I thought pegboard would be easier.

That is smart thinking AJ. I’m going to hunt for a piece of Peg board at HD’s sometimes they put smaller pieces in the discount bin. Have a great weekend!

Home Depot is a great place to get pegboard. I got this piece of pegboard at HD, it was in the scrap bucket.

-- It don't have to be straight,it's just a suggestion!!!

That will be a most valuable piece in your shop. I get more use out of my downdraft sanding table that I ever could have imagined.

Great idea, AJ, looks really useful… reminds me that I am getting tired of choking on sanding dust myself.

I am baffled regarding the baffle. What does it look like and where did it go?

The baffle is a piece of plywood that runs down inside the box. This helps the air flow to travel down into the vacuum hose.

Thanks for asking,

AJ, the best thing I see here is that you saw you were having problems with controlling dust and you made your self a solution to the problem. It is even portable to boot…. The more we can controll the dust and shavings the more time we will have making more vs cleaning it all up. A big plus for your lungs as well….. You will notice your sandpaper will last a bit longer as well….... Well Done.

Great project!
I’m doing something very similar soon for my porter cable 330 sanders. They’re great, but no dust collection.

One thing I thought about doing was gluing some shelf liner to the pegboard to have a grippy surface but still work as a downdraft table. :)
