The Enco Dust Collector, Free With Every Order.

[JimDawson]

I needed a bit better dust management for my router table.



So I looked around the shop a bit and saw this Enco box sitting in the burn pile.



It works great and as an added bonus it let's you know when your fingers are getting too close to the spinny things.

Hey, I have a couple of those in the garage.

I just hope the Enco folks don't watch this forum. They might start charging extra, or maybe even abolishing free shipping ;~)

Then again ... if you sent them this idea, they might announce it as a special promotional offer!

Necessity is the mother of invention. Is it grabbing up the UHMV shavings well?

It's getting about 80%. It seems to catch everything that flys horizontally, the rest are going straight down onto the bench under the table. I should build a proper collection head, but I use this thing about once a year. It really needs to be designed so that there is a lot of airflow up through the tool clearance hole, maybe using the exhaust air from the shop vac. A project for another day.

See some times it is good to have an idea that sucks.
