Dust Collection

[Bigdog72]

Time for the Dumba** of the week award.

Last week when I quit working I noticed that dust and wood chips covered the shop on every surface. Never noticed that it was snowing inside. So the last thing I did last week was pull out my dust collector, flip it on and look for the leak. Seeing that it was leaking in the back I figured first thing this weekend I would fix. Went out this morning to start, turned dc around and bag had pulled loose from clamp. Reason......you really need to empty those suckers every now and then!!!!:rotflm::rotflm:

The only question that I have is where the heck did you find all of those dancing smilies?

Making one of those Phil Thien-type separators is so easy.

I second the Thien seperator :icon_thum.

I have a seperator but the way I am currently set up the seperator is in line with my jointer and planer. The tablesaw is on a different run.

I spent some time in the shop today but when I was done I realized I had no danger of the DC overflowing since the hose I had connected to the TS was NOT the one that was connected to the DC. :eusa_doh: Fortunately the one that I had attached to the planer was. :gar-La; This coming week I will be doing the DC piping to eliminate the plastic slinkys all over the shop floor :wsmile:
