Hi All,
So I have been fixing up a surface grinder (Boyar-schultz Challenger deluxe) that I got at an auction. Its finally in a state where I want to start using it, but I know I need to setup some dust collection scheme. I have read some old posts, from them I have a few take aways:
(1) wet grinding would be best (but currently this early in my use I am not ready to go that route), (2) Dust collector attached to the end of the table, (3) Dust collector mounted to machine (not work head) and positioned close to the workhead output side.
The 3rd option sounds ideal, and from this image I found in an older it seems like the option I should go after for the room I have in the shop for it.
My question is, without breaking the bank
- where can I source that collection port parts, any suggestions are welcome
- What should I do for actual dust collection? would a shop vac with some kind of spark collector work? is there a better solution im finding? Sparks seem like they could be an important issue to deal with that close to the work piece
- What material should I be looking to source the hose for this setup?
And always, I appreciate the wisdom you guys wish to share, it really helps with breaking into these new tools that I am not confident with.
