Dust Collection made from cnc gamma seal lid, body thickness `1.5 inches

Finished the dust collection bucket for planer and bandsaw. Cut a hole in the gamma seal lid and CNC cut the the lid from 1/8 birch plywood and bought some powertec dust ports and sealed with silicon.

Wen Bandsaw cut width of Body blank to 13 inches planed to ~1.51 inches. Still a lot of wood chips flying from the planer, had to brush off chips, no difference when connected to harbor freight dust collector. Saves me a ton of work rather than hand planing, which would have taken me a least an hour and a lot of sweat. Everything done in under 20 minutes. I do have to brush off the excess chips on wood though between cuts. I tried 1/16 inch at first and lowered to 1/32, half turn for finishing. Came out pretty good with minor snipe. Overall happy, not sure long how the blades will last or if I need to upgrade to helical cutter. Ran both the planer and HF dust collector without tripping the breaker.

Need to order some 4 inch blast gates for HF dust collector. Also ordering a a better Pwncnc dust hose clamp, the velcro attached one wasn’t secure enough. Also will create an arm extension to support the hose better, extra tension might be effecting the gantry.
