Delta 34-600 dust collection and height adjustment

[Ryan]

So I made this spacer this weekend with my cnc router. Essentially, it does two things:

1. Get the height of my table saw level with my mft so I can use it as an out feed.

2. Adds half *** dust collection... and I don’t even have a dust collector... yet.

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics... And I'm gonna try to make a video of the process...

Looks good. Having all table surfaces the same height is a smart idea, too.

I have a Delta 34-441 and made a dust collection port as well. Mine is sloped. I used a toilet flange and a street 45. Then I use a pipe stub and Fernco coupling to connect to the shop vac thru a Dust Deputy.

I would bet that yours is gonna be far more effective than mine...

Thanks Ryan!

Also i did a couple other things. I bought some flexible magnetic sheets (Walmart) that I use to close off the gaps at the blade tilt slit after adjustment. I used pipe insulation to seal the bottom of the table to the cabinet side frames. Lastly I made a cardboard cutout (alright a beer case box!) with magnets to seal off the back of the saw where the motor and belt is.

I’m coming for you!

Nice!

The radius bottom is interesting.

Trying to create a cyclone effect. Probably won’t work, but fun CNC work anyway.
