custom hoods?

[tfrdds]

I have some older machines that do not have dust ports, so I have to make my own or buy something that will work. Since I have to cut a hole anyway, I thought I would just run 6" flex to my table saw cabinet, jointer, and planer. Any suggestions on port choices for 6"? I just got some 6" flex from Wynn, so it would be nice for it go on easy enough, be stable, although I won't be taking it off all that much. My tools are pretty stationary.

Thanks,

I used some bell mouths from pennstate industries. Kinda big so will fit on a table saw but maybe not your smaller tools. Quite easy to slip the flex on and off of though.

Did you use the 6" bell mouths with the 6 " flex and that fit nicely?

thanks,

Yes that is what I used. They are about ~$25 each USD. Works well

I just picked up a 6" HVAC out let that looks like it may work. $7.50, so I'll try this first. Thanks again,
