Project Information
A CS collector box and one for the RAS,. Made from 3/4" MDF and 1/2" ply for the deflector back plate.
The back plate is angled at 17 degrees, I found this angle with a 3/4" gap at the base created the ultimate venturi action in my case.
The boxes collect just about all of the dust. The exception is when I turn to 45 degrees on the CS when there is a little spillage. I may add a couple of "wings" to catch even more but for waht is lost hardly worth it….. a work in progress.
The ras box is smaller because I only use it for straight cross cuts, again captures 99% of the dust. Again three coats of Nitro based varnish for protection.
