Looking for a hose-less dust collector

Post by robinson46176 »

Most of my dust collection will work out pretty well in my basement shop. Since I have pretty good space (24' x 40') I can have a lot of tools around the perimeter and a couple at a couple of post in the middle. I will probably use mostly ceiling drops since the floor is concrete as you would expect.
The one problem spot is the my Ridgid TS-3650 table saw. I intend for it to always be sitting out in the middle of the floor. It is currently sitting near a post but that post is going away soon. I really hate having a hose across the floor anywhere and I also don't want one hanging down either. I like being able to punch the pedal on the caster set and wheeling it around any time I want to anywhere I want.
My big saving is that this saw does a quite decent job of catching the dust with just a large shop-vac attached. I think my current low $$$ solution is to attach a platform to the saw base to hold a dedicated high volume shop-vac that will sit down behind it or under the right side of the table and always move with the saw.
If I were to find some "project money" somewhere I might look for a good used Shopsmith DC to mount under there.

I guess that is as close to as I am going to come to a hose-less dust collector. :)

Most wood working mags have a similar cabinet/cart many mount a vac in the space under the extension table.
