New band saw. What's it for.

N80 My shop is in my basement. I need to figure a way to manage dust
I found that the Dust Deputy Deluxe Cyclone Separator Kit - Vacuum And Dust Collector Accessories - Amazon.com which is the Dust Deputy Deluxe Cyclone Separator Kit by oneida is one of the best. I use it all the time. Wood dust, drywall etc. It really works well.

I've always wondered how much time it took him to figure out one of his projects that he did on his show, and what happened to all that practice material. On his show, every cut, every measurement, was always perfect. In reality, there had to be some trial and error that went into that.

By the time he built one for the show, "usually" it was the third one he built, so he had a lot of practice before doing it on camera...

I remember once in a while he'd show the first attempt in pine and point out problems they'd run into and how to address them.

I am better than Norm, I ccan show you problems encountered on the first 15 attempts.... designer firewood.
Having said that I have used the bandsaw to cut dovetails, speeds up the process and for single items saves stting up the jig for the router.

Thanks. There is a video of a guy making a system like this. The only thing he bought was the clear funnel piece. I'd probably rather just spend the $100 and have it done.

So have I, and yes it does make it faster to get rid of the waste wood.

Honestly it was really easy to hook up and getting everything from them made it a snap. I felt the same way and did not want to have to engineer a solution to a problem they already solved.
