Hello, Has anyone put together an effective setup for dust collection while running your binding jig or neck angle jig? For both of these operations I just let stuff go where it wants and vacuum up later. I wear a dust mask during. I've tried various hood things, but it was really a waste of time. I'm considering just building a box to at least contain it a little, like I have for the miter saw, and let the dust and chips fly and then vacuum after. Anyone come up with an interesting setup? Pics are appreciated. Thanks! Brad |

Nope, here too. I let the chips fall where they may. |

If remotely possible I carry out these operations outside. |

Yes, My binding station has a 4" port with a gate (bottom left). It's super simple and collects 95% of the dust. I just have to touch up the countertop with my shop-vac after. My neck block and heel block are cut on my cnc which also has collection. Cheers, M |

I don't have a problem collecting the dust and chips when using my neck jig.

I use the dust collection attachment on my DeWalt compact. |

The mess from binding routing is child’s play compared with shaping archtop plates. I have not been very successful with attempts at dust collection for either. |

In one of the builder's videos that I've seen, might be Greenfield, he had a 4 or 6" DC Inlet positioned right next to his work. It looked like either that or the workpiece could be roughly moved to Optimum position on the right side, as he was using a Fleischmann style jig. Seems like if you we're moving a big enough volume of air, it could be fairly effective. You would probably need to route a little slower, but it would be worth it if you could get most of the Dust New username, same Pat Mac |

Since I use a plunge base for the m&t neck jig, I just ran a piece of ply about 4” “deep” down the front edge of the neck/tenon side. The dust falls down instead of out. Then I just put a screw clamp on that piece of ply, and rested a dc hose on it, pointed at the cutting area. That took care of most of the falling chips. Just very simple. Edit: I know, pics help. Self explanatory on this. I also lay a 4” flex dc hose on the table, just for the extras that fly out.  Here’s the ply, with the clamp on the side. A 2 1/2” dc hose is layed on the clamp, pointed towards the cutter.

I have an old bedsheet stapled to the overhead floor joist in my basement shop. It reaches my bench top and forms 3/4 circle around one end of my bench and I rout inside of it. It collects 3/4+ of the stuff right there for easy disposal. When I am done, I roll it like a sausage and put a spring clamp on it to hold against the ceiling. Ed |
