Using Your Noodles - Part II

Project by Sir_Robert posted 486 days ago 1561 views 2 times favorited 7 comments Add to Favorites Watch

Here is another application for the swimming pool noodle connectors. The versatility of the foam noodles allows you to fit from an ID (vacuum hose) to an OD (bandsaw dust port). I love noodles. They’re great!

it looks like it significantly reduces the diameter. are the particles small enough that it doesn’t matter? just curious.

Thanks for the question, Hokie!

The reduced diameter in the bandsaw application is not a problem, since the size of the sawdust particles is small and the vacuum sucks them away quickly. This may not be the case on tools where chips are larger and could clog the vacuum tube. I confess I haven’t experimented yet with planers or jointers (don’t own any yet).

might look into this, because it isn’t a clean fit between my vac and bandsaw. the bandsaw makes a huge mess when I run it without the vac though, so this might be the solution.
