After rearranging the garage, where all the power tools reside, and making room for my new (used) drum sander, I decided to take a step toward central dust collection.

The drum sander has a collection bag, and some damaged ducts, so I’ll repair the ducts and continue to use the bag attachment for this one.  I installed a central collection system attached to my shop vac for the Miter Saw, the Table Saw, the Sanding Station and the Band Saw.

It’s really cool to watch all the dust zoom through the clear tubes.
