Further Extraction

The first part of this project got piping most of the way round the garage and a lot of the more difficult sections in place. Once the pipe was extended along the other side of the garage as well, there was still space for the pile of clamps that usually fall over when trying to take one to be stored properly underneath. 


In addition the down pipes for the tools were added and the blast gates installed.


The gates allow air flow to be controlled so only one part is open, allowing maximum extraction from which ever tool is being used. It's possible to close the whole system off, but it's not really helpful...


There are a few more things to be added like a split pipe to the tablesaw to draw dust from the back of the blade near the riving knife, as well as a better means to collect dust from behind the radial arm saw.
