Came inside from doing stuff outside for a coffee break – and a cookie.

14” Bandsaw – Dust extraction 2
Noticed this morning that the lower wheel cover which also serves for dust extraction is not closing flush at the bottom.
Would not have thought that the middle 3mm MDF panel is the culprit. We need to recess the bottom edge of the cover.
14” Bandsaw – Dust extraction
With the lower wheel cover done we can start thinking about dust extraction.
Cut some scrap timber to generate sawdust then opened the cover – interesting.
Almost all the dust has collected in that left corner of the open cover. That makes sense as the wheel turns clockwise blowing everything into that corner. That’s good !, we can mount the dust port low down in the corner.

Holly – bath time
Straight outside after her bath as she always needs to go toilet.
Then hang around as she initially dries off and give her first brush out – one of many.
She’s keen to get back inside to the coolness of the downstairs foyer.
14” Bandsaw – Hinged wheel cover 2
I the last session we made the frame for the lower hinged wheel cover which will also serve as a dust extraction box.
Now we can measure and cut another MDF board which we be the actual front panel of the box. Just entered a note in OneNote to buy some more 3mm MDF.

With the base box at the back of the lower wheel boarded up with dust panels we can now start making the frame for the front hinged cover. Continue reading “14” Bandsaw – Hinged wheel cover”
14” Bandsaw – Motor dust covers 2
From the last session we need to fit one more panel across the top.

This is the first stage of hopefully a reasonably effective dust extraction setup to which I can attach a workshop vacuum.
I checked behind the wheel and we have room for a dust panel. We need to cut a pulley access slot, the shorter the better. The pulley is towards the right side so also checked that I can slide the panel in on the left side, then up and across to the right.
