This came with a bunch of SS stuff I picked up off CL yesterday. I assume this is used in dust collection, but how is it used?

The fellow had all this plus a 510 with a lot of stuff missing for $1000. I went with the idea of talking him into selling me the power station and dust collector. When I arrived, he informed me that he tried to test the 510 and it was smoking and only one shaft was turning. He asked if I would go $300 on the rest of the stuff. I looked thoughtful for a second and then reluctantly agreed.

My guess it's for hand sanding things on top of it.

I have never used a wood lathe, so I am not sure what kind or amount of dust is created. Would it be useful to lay this on the way tubes under you lathe work?

My guess is a downdraft table for sanding by hand or with a palm sander.

Brian is correct. It's a down draft table. Nice score on all the stuff. The thickness planer, alone, usually brings more than you paid for the whole catch!

What thickness planer?

No. That thickness planer is a real ham. He snuck into the pic when I wasn't looking.

Hmmmm. It hid behind the DC.

P.S. What did the po do with the 510?

Behind the DC. Look hard!

Says he's going to fix it, and sell it. Not likely. I told him to call me before he pays someone to haul it away. I'll do it for free.
