Show pics of dust hose on Powermatic lathes
I got the extension with my lathe, but never had the opportunity to use it. The swing away certainly prevents the bed extension being used in "extension" mode, as they attach to the same spots (don't know about putting the extension on the headstock end - I've got something else there and can't see the bolt pattern easily). In the lower (larger swing) position, the extension would technically mount without interference, but the swing away would definitely get in the way of whatever large thing you'd be turning. Shouldn't be an issue to just store the extension and swap it out when needed - just 3 bolts.Dave, a quick thread hijack for you and others who have the PM swingaway attachment. Does it prevent installation of the bed extension? Long-term, I'm considering both if both are an option. Now back to this very useful thread!
Looking at Rockler's website there is a Dust Right Canister (filter) and a Dust Right Collector (vacuum). Are you using both? Is the Dust Right Collector good on it's own?I have the Lathe Track System from Woodturners Wonders:

Connects to my dust collector with Rockler's Dust Right system.
Crude but effective.
I'm using neither ... the Dust Right components I have are the hose fittings, blast gates, etc. My dust collector is an Oneida Supercell.Looking at Rockler's website there is a Dust Right Canister (filter) and a Dust Right Collector (vacuum).

Tom, did you drill the holes in the metal pipe? If not, where did you buy it?.Crude but effective.
Where can 1 buy the type of drilled pipe that you used in your dust collection system?Crude but effective.
Splash protection for when I get sloppy with the shellac I use as a sanding sealer. As you can see, it serves it's purpose often enough.Ok, I'll bite. What's the paper bag for you've got held on by magnets?
The pipe is 1/2" EMT conduit. I drilled the holes on my drill press. The hood cradle is attached to the conduit with J-bolts and the wing nuts.Tom, did you drill the holes in the metal pipe? If not, where did you buy it?

Yes! I've been trying to figure out how I want to attach a dust extractor and I'm intrigued by this strategy. Do you ever feel like it is too far away from your work piece or doesn't have as much back and forth mobility as you would like?Crude but effective.
