Post subject:  Dust and chip collection for binding jig and neck angle jig

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

Actually very well on the binding jig, which is a mix of a parallelogram and vertical slide style. It fits on the solid base.

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.

I haven't tried it but, a down draft table might help...
