14” Bandsaw – Dust extraction 2

Noticed this morning that the lower wheel cover which also serves for dust extraction is not closing flush at the bottom.

Would not have thought that the middle 3mm MDF panel is the culprit. We need to recess the bottom edge of the cover.

With the lower wheel cover done we can start thinking about dust extraction.

Straight outside after her bath as she always needs to go toilet.


Then hang around as she initially dries off and give her first brush out – one of many.
She’s keen to get back inside to the coolness of the downstairs foyer.

14” Bandsaw – Hinged wheel cover 2

I the last session we made the frame for the lower hinged wheel cover which will also serve as a dust extraction box.

Now we can measure and cut another MDF board which we be the actual front panel of the box.

With the base box at the back of the lower wheel boarded up with dust panels we can now start making the frame for the front hinged cover.
