I think the rationale for the location, is to suck up the debris before it gets too far from the blade while still airborne. Notice the baffle(keeps fingers out, but hardly improves efficiency!):rolleyes:
P.S. an elbow works almost as well as the baffle without the efficiency hit.

Informative! Thanks... as I too want to incorporate some plumbing to my new (used) SS bandsaw. I'll cut the opening with a holesaw and pick up a pipe flange from one of the Big Box stores.
I have the plans from SS for a completed dust colletions systems. If I can take a picture of the plans I'll try and figure out how to put them on this forum.

i really would not go that route as the pipe fittings do not match up to "dust collector/shopvac" fittings. either purchase the one from shopsmith or a place that sells dust collector fittings. just my $.02

hi patom,
To upload an image, first click on the paper clip (it's pointed to in the image). In the Manage Attachments pop-up box, click the browse button and navigate to where your picture is and click on the file name. Then press upload. ( I bet you've done all of these steps already)
To place the image where you want it to be in your post, click inside the text typing area where you want to image to be, then click on the same paperclip again lol and click the image name you want to place (if you uploaded multiple images, they will all be listed here).
If you don't click the paperclip the second time, all the images will be included, but only as hyperlinked file names. I forget how many images we're limited to in each post, (maybe 4?).
My last step is to preview post before I submit it to make sure it looks how I want it to.

After clicking the "Post Reply" button at the bottom of the page, you will see the screen referenced in the previous post. Click on that paper clip and you will see the "Manage Attachments" screen pop up. To select the images that you want to post, click on the "Browse" button. This puts you into your computer where you can select up to five images to be posted. After selecting an image, click on the "Upload" button. Assuming you are going to post only one image, when it becomes listed in the "Current Attachments" window, click again on that "paper Clip". You will then see the Manage Attachs drop down with your selected image identified. Click on that image and your attachment will be shown. It is now part of your new post.
There are a few variances of this procedure but I suggest you learn to walk and then run.
Hum, I guess I said exactly the same thing as did dasgud. Oh well, repetition is the mother of study. Somebody said that - not me.
