kapex dust collection

[Maumee Mike]

Anyone have any ideas /pictures of how you collect dust ( besides the CT Vac that is  )

You're welcome to use just about any dust collector you have, just have the right adapters to fit onto the dust outlet.

Current setup. Want to get (hopefully win the December Kapex Giveaway....) which would enable me to get rid of the whole thing and move the Kapex on my 2 long work benches to the left which would be a perfect spot for a cutting station. Just does not work with the design of the Deawalt (extending back to far)...

Mine's connected to a Fein Turbo III vacuum with a Dust Deputy cyclone in between. I found an adaptor at home depot that fits.

Here's a quick video of how the setup works-

I have mine hooked up to a dust deputy (with 36mm hose) that saves the saw dust to a box sitting ontop of the ct26 vac. (I got a large 52litre cooler box that seals easily and I can open it up and remove it all simply). It looks a bit naff but works a treat. I then got the Y connector and two blast gates so I now have two ports going into the DD (Kapex and 27mm hose for usual other tools. Works a treat.

I did this a couple of years ago… still working wonderfully.
