More boneheaded woodworking - johndi - 07-09-2017 Finally building something and feeling pretty good about myself. Go to use my Ridgid OSS and think, man I knew the dust collection was crap, but this is ridiculous. It's in my eyes, all over the workpiece, just miserable. Well after I got done with the band saw, I used the shop vac to BLOW OUT the garage. Turns out the dust collection works much better when the hose is in the vacuum side.? What a maroon! RE: More boneheaded woodworking - museumguy - 07-09-2017 Whew, I thought I was the only one that ever did that, more than once even, ![]() RE: More boneheaded woodworking - gMike - 07-09-2017 I did it myself a few days ago. It's called "getting in a hurry" and not paying attention. Usually, when that happens with me it's a trip to the Emergency Room to get stitches. Glad it was just a mess and not bloodshed! ![]() RE: More boneheaded woodworking - johndi - 07-09-2017 Yup. Turned everything off and got a shower. Took it as a sign that it was time to call it a day. RE: More boneheaded woodworking - Steve N - 07-09-2017 (07-09-2017, 03:36 PM)johndi Wrote: What a maroon!

I usually just vacuum up the chips after the work. Once, O just grabbed the shop vac with the hose already in place and let 'er rip. ![]() ![]() Took twice as long to vacuum up all the chips that were blown all over the shop because the hose was on the exhaust side---wife had used it for some reason. ![]() ![]() |
