infeed fillup works - but after that?

Post by forrestb »

I find that once the guts of the jointer fill-up with chips the rest seem to go out the DC chute. But after work, cleaning out the chips on the infeed side is a real pain. I want to clean them out since wood chips hold water which can rust cast iron and steel parts.

Hmmm - if I take apart the jointer, might there be a way ???????

A shop vac is not made to run full time like a dust collector is. But may get by with it in a home shop.
