Dust collection at the lathe.

[David Friedman]

Thank you for all the help with prior question. Getting my new Record Power set up and firmly mounted on my bench. Set up two stage dust collection system venting outside. Looking for recommended set up to best collect dust etc. at the lathe. Any ideas appreciated.
Thank you all very much!

I bought one of these at Woodcraft. They are $150 but I got it for $50 on their sale table. It picks up all of the dust while sanding so I don’t have to wear my respirator. You could could make something like it fairly cheap.

I’d still wear at least a mask. Bet it doesn’t get everything . . .

Oh, search function is very useful—“dust collection” or “dust extraction” yields lots of info.

Well, this is a link to a video I did a long time ago about the hood I made for my lathe so I can sand with no dust mask since it does capture EVERYTHING!

The "big gulp" type funnels do work and get maybe 90% of the dust, but a fair amount still goes into the air. You can make several variations with no problems. The one thing I didn't do with the hood I use is make it so it could stay on the lathe as I turn, and it would help contain the dust better. You can buy sheet stock of the plastic in sheets 5 by 10 feet, then cut it to size. I did find the 1/4 inch stuff to be rather stiff, but it can be bent to shape. Probably far more than most can use, but for a group, not a problem...
