So can we discuss dust collection? Im personally interested in what I need to hook on from a standard dust collector (not shop vac) to the dust boot.

Martin, my intent is to use the Kreg base for my table as well. Is yours the 44"x44" kit and what size did you end up making your table top?

I have the Kreg 44x44 kit and the table top is a half sheet of MDF (48x49"). The other half got cut up to make the spoil board. I did not build a torsion table on mine (at least not yet). The Onefinity effectively sits over the Kreg rails so the weight is well supported. I have the caster kit and at…

Martin, Your dust collection is exactly what I want mine to be. How far is it from the table to the top of the hose at the highest point?

Here are the dimensions. The tube lengths are the length that I cut the tube to, not just the visible part. The 2.5" hose is a 10’ length of PUR hose. [image] Martin

Is that the 1HP Craftex you are using? How is it working with the 1F? I see there is a CX version with higher CFM but it is currently not available. These would ship free to me here in Ontario so was wondering how you liked it and its performance. Thank you, Tom

It is a Craftex CT029 1HP dust collector from BusyBee Tools. I’ve had it for about 15 years or so and just move the hose between the Onefinity, a table saw and a thickness planer. It works well and I haven’t had any issues with it. Martin

I appreciate the information - that’s great to hear. Because of limited space, I have my tools in my small shed and do cutting outdoors - mostly home reno work not much detailed woodworking. The 1F will go in my basement, and will be the main producer of chips/dust so I was hopeful that this Craftex…

Martin, Thank you so much those are exactly the numbers I needed. The hose that is have may be a little stiffer than yours I am hopeful that it will work. I plan to use your information to run my 4” steel pipe up the wall above the unit and drape the hose down to the unit. Dave Martin do you thin…

I don’t have an enclosure at the moment. The dust collector does a pretty good job of sucking up the wood chips from the projects I’ve cut. I’m not sure I’d necessarily want to put aluminum or plastic chips through the dust collector so I may use the shop vac for those. My shop vac is pretty loud th…
