Down With Dust
WoodRiver’s dust connection two-piece downdraft panel set makes it easy to build your own downdraft sanding table. Each steel panel has an array of large holes for rubber grommets to grip the workpiece. Smaller holes help pull the sanding dust down and away when used with a shop vacuum or dust collector. You can also fit work holding stops in the smaller holes to keep the workpiece steady. Currently $66.50 a pair from Professional Woodworkers Supplies. www.woodworksupplies.com.au
