This is a brand new pre-production dust collection system Designed by Wood turners for wood turners. Finally, effective dust collection at the wood lathe. Now you an capture dust as close to the source as possible when sanding. It is meant for sanding. It is designed for a 4" dust collection hose and a 4" port. The port and hose are not included. The port shown is a "mini gulp" style port which can be found at many woodworking sources. In order to get maximum benefit from this product a very flexible 4" hose is required so that you do not have to fight the stiffness of the hose and you can easily position the port where desired. It will fit practically any lathe and comes with adapters to avoid drilling into the body of your lathe if you prefer to avoid that. It was originally designed for the Powermatic 3520B and various sliding headstock Jet lathes, but has been installed on Stubby lathes, Robust lathes, Woodfast's, Delta and others. Feel free to contact me for questions about installation. Some old style lathes may take some creativity to install. It does not take up floor space and does not require that you move something off/around the floor in order to sweep up your shavings. It does not inhibit movement of the banjo since it does not use the bed for mounting. It can be positioned at any height or at any angle or adjusted to any diameter turning. A telescopic pole allows for easy height and/or angle adjustment. The syetem travels along a aluminum T track to allow for positioning anywhere along the length of the lathe. A sliding headstock can be positioned for hollow form turning and the system can easily be positioned on the tailstock end as well. It also comes in handy to capture fumes from CA glue and accelerator or when hand sanding off the lathe. It takes about 20-30 minutes to install and then its very easy to use. Several professional woodturners were involved in the design and every design criteria was met. One complaint was that they have to clean out the dust filter more often now that its actually being used for the lathe! This Patent Pending product will be distributed through the typical woodworking distribution houses including Craft Supplies USA in the late fall/early winter once the molds are ready, but the machined version is now available for a limited time. Happy turning. Key words-bowl blank, chuck, gouge, parting tool, vacuum, air filtration, vortex, spindle, sanding,
