Drill Press Dust Collector

This is a drill press dust collecting jig. It is designed to allow the dust collection port to sit at different heights depending on the placement of the work piece.

Mark a piece of scrap with 0", 1", 2" and 3" sides surrounding a circle the circumference of a dust collecting hose.

Cut 1.5" strips of wood to surround the backside of the jig. Glue and fasten. These will be used for clamping the dust collection unit in place.

Cut the face of the jig to accommodate the dust collection hose.

Create a tube assembly that will connect to a dust collection hose and a second hose if the drill press allows.

Attach the assembly to the wood structure.

Clamp in place and connect the main dust collector hose and any auxiliary hoses to the assembly.

The assembly is complete and will collect dust and debris from both the side and under the drill press.
