Downdraft table plans

Mar 11, 2006 6 Replies

A while back I remember seeing an article, in a magazine, on how to build your own downdraft sanding table. For the life of me, I can't seem to find the article in my magazines...anyone remember seeing/reading it and know which issue it was?



TIA, Dave



Not the one you're looking for but here's an idea Downdraft table/ air cleaner / outfeed table using a furnace blower and filters

I designed my own table with a Cherry frame and pegboard top to fit in my 24" square work station. The collector piping is 1-1/4" and 2" PVC with the total area of the bored holes 20% less than the cross sectional area of the 2" header. Collector holes are oriented to the bottom of the box to keep dust from building up. A few support blocks glued under the pegboard makes a stable work surface. The box is stored in a rack with my other workstation units. Works great! Bugs

I believe Wood Magazine had an article fairly recently. They have a web site and access to plans.
