Anybody got one of these?

I need a down draft solution and soon. My Delta downdraft table attached to a cyclone dust collector ain't worth a hill of beans!

Any thoughts?
Thanks

Hesh that is a great idea and one that I will do if I get this machine.
By the way, I will be at work tomorrow, want me to bring the jet with me?

Lance,
   I have that Grizzl table and it works great! I actually picked it up when I
made the switch from nitro lacquer to the UV cured poly finish. The UV
finish creates clouds of dust when sanded so I needed a dedicated
solution and the down draft table was just what i needed.

   Those walls that help to contain and direct the draft actually unclip and
fold down out of the way to give a flat, open table top to work on. The
rubber grommets that protect the pieces you work from the edges of the
draft holes do a nice job too. The motor creates a really nice draft, but
you'll find that it's best to keep a few extra filters on hand.

    I'm actually going to vent it directly outside to eliminate the need for
the filters altogether.

    I'd recommend it to anyone.

Regards,
Kevin Gallagher/Omega Guitars

I used one of these tables at my old job and it worked well if you remember to clean the filters. One gripe I had was the little rubber grommets. They like to fall out and when sanding just a top or a back or anything flat and thin, the piece would flex some between the rubber grommets. It was not my machine so I didnt modify it to stop the flex but maybe taking all the grommets out and putting down a flat surface that dust can go through would be a good idea.

Thanks Blake, that makes sense,
Maybe a flat board the size of your sanding piece, back, top or side would stiffen it for a better sanding surface..

Good tip! Thanks!

You could lay a piece of pegboard over it. Already has the holes in it. I saw one like that somewhere.
