dust collection for 14" Jet band saw

[Larry Mercier]

I want to collect the fine sawdust before it drops into the lower part of the bandsaw. When I cut a number of bowl blanks, the lower wheel area fills with fine sawdust. Do those of you who own the Jet bandsaw have a shop made dust collector that efficiently collects sawdust under the table? To paraphrase Robo Hippy: my bandsaw does not suck.

Bandsaw dust extraction

My new bandsaw is great but suffers, like others, of poor dust extraction. The 63mm exhaust spigot is situated near the lower wheel whereas most of the dust appears just under the table. My knowledge is limited to experience-the smaller the hole the greater the velocity. Sawdust is bigger than...

I found this years ago on a forum and it has worked pretty well on my 14” Delta Clone Cast Iron bandsaw. I only have a 1 HP Dust Collector and on dry wood is excellent, wet wood some gets by. This is 4” PVC Sewer Pipe, couple of pieces with a length of a coffee can inside as a union. A piece of 14G electrical wire on top goes into a hole through both to secure. Lower piece is fastened to 4” flex hose to the dust collector. It is fastened to the lower shroud with a piece of 2x4 grooved to fasten the PVC pipe to it.
