Down Draft Sanding Table
 
[sm=tongue_smile.gif]Anybody out there with any good plans for a Down Draft Sanding Table, got to do something about this balsa and fiberglass dust. Any help with this would be appreciated.

I use a Delta AP300 dust collection system in my workshop. Here's a link:

My uncle's shop has one of these and they really work well. About the same price before shipping as smaller less effective units.
Plus it even has a remote !!:D

I saw plans for one where you make the surface the size you want, using pegboard, braced from underneath to make it firm. Build a box to mount the top on, with a hole cut in the side that you can stick a shop vac hose in. Fire up the vacuum, it will pull air down through the holes in the pegboard, taking the sanding dust with it. You can make one 2'x2' and a foot deep for about $20 or so.

Sounds like a great idea.....what in the world do you do about the shop vac noise???
I've done this with a low velocity fan for a welding bench but not a shop vac.

I made my own using pegboard, it's 2' x 3' and I use my delta collector with it (lower noise than a shop vac) one tip if you're going to do it yourself, bevel the bottom so it gets shallower on the end away from the nozzle, this helps keep airflow more constant across the face of the pegboard.
