SCMS dust chute

[Joe Scharle]

This has worked for me for the past couple of years. Might work for you.
Just a cut off ear of a cardboard box, half rolled and stuffed into the chute. Vac hose in the back. When it gets weak and falls out, stuff in another. I was reminded of this on Monday when one of them fell out. Thought I'd pass it on.

Joe,

I think you are my kinda guy. An old cardboard box beats the heck out of $$$ to the store.:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap
Thanks,

Shoot! I just put all my boxes in the recycling. Guess I better go order some tools from Amazon so I have something to make a dust chute. :tool:

Great tip. Simple is good.

Another great idea Joe!

Amd I like your reasoning Bas!

I'll follow both tips :eusa_danc

Joe, you old fox! And just after I finish a Rube Goldberg fan shaped box for my SCMS!! :wconfused:

One question: What percentage of the dust would you say this picks up?

Congratulations on a simple solution! I LOVE simple!

Let us know how your mod works out.
Percentage? No idea, but I know when it falls out!

Hmmmmmm.
I'm looking at that & thinking maybe a cut up 40 oz. beer can & some glue might last a lot longer.
Anybody know where I could get the can? :gar-La;
