Dex, I am working on an enclosure for under my unit that will go into my dust control set-up. Most of my Legacy work is spindle in nature so far although I am looking to do oval table tops with a spring loaded template system I am working on (something with repeatability) it will generate massive amounts of scrap for my shop until I get it tweaked in. It seems a doable item.

A few years age I made a table to bolt to the top of my drill press, One of the important jobs this tool does is to drill the holes in cabinet doors for concealed hinges. The hole you are drilling is 1 3/16 and about 5/8 deep and when you are doing a bunch of doors the wood chips really pile up and get in the way. If some collect against the fence, it will throw off the location of hole for the hinge. So what I came up with is a hollow box under the top and cut a hole in the back center and in the side to connect the dust collector hose. I created a "hood" that is just held in place when needed with a spring clamp. I works great. Well, the idea hit me that downdraft table under the Legacy could help keep the dust/shavings build-up under the machine from building up. My machine has no legs so it sits on top of a work bench I made as an assemble table. Alas, came the Legacy and that took over that space. I have plans of expanding my shop and then making a table designed for the Legacy and could incorporate something similar to the drill press idea. Is this a workable idea? -- Dexter Bland "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
