: Nice idea but I wonder how well that will work . . . I tried
: something similar but the shavings just clogged the hose. The
: 1-1/4" hose just wouldn't hack it and the 2" hose is
: too unwieldy. However it worked great on a power planer which
: delivers smaller chips, but there has to be good air flow as the
: chip volume can be huge. My planer has a vac port on both sides
: with a plug to close off the unused side; took me a while to
: realise it worked better without the plug. Most of the vac
: attachments for hand-held power tools are just for show . . .
There are few things I enjoy more than watching the ribbons pile up as I use a high quality plane. That contraption could suck the joy right out of life.
