rodger. Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 i want to biuld a table for my standing drill press, and it will include a fence and a stop. i want to add a DC port, but i am having trouble deciding where. behind the fence seems logical, but i also see a lot of examples online of people putting the dust port under the table. i would think that under the table would not collect a lot, as most of the dust is made before the hole is completed by the bit. thoughts?

wtnhighlander Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 I have to agree, below the table would miss the majority of chips. Since a drill makes somewhat large chips, rather than dust, you sort of need a large opening to suck them through. A port behind and above the fence seems like a good compromise, unless you want to try one of those 'drillnado' things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davestanton Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 I built this but only use it on specific holes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
