Description:
The purchase of “Herbie Hoover” was facilitated a crowd funding project. Members pledged money for the dust collector and VHS approved a matching dollar amount up to 2000. Additional funding helped pay for some electrical and ducting. Some additional manifolds still need to be created to allow for better airflow into the DC and to provide some extra ports for things like the thickness sander and Dusty our Wood CNC. There are also plans to build some system that will automatically turn on the dust collector when the tools are turned on.
Any maintenance, repairs, relocations, changes, etc to the tool should be logged below with a note, date and who!
Saw Dust will accumulate in the bags in the rear of the dust collector. These should be emptied approximately once a month or depending on usage.
