Northridge Mod-E / Dust Collection

[Jason Volkert]

I scored an 8' piece of granite

Now that's a surface plate

Hey Brian, do you remember or can you check for me how far the drive wheel is from the plate the motor is attached to?

I appreciate it

I'm away from home working at the moment. But I will get back to you.

Here are a few pics of the Mod-E grinder. I am in the process of setting up a dust ventilation system. The Mod-E grinder is solid I have a 2hp baldor motor on it. It tracks perfectly and I'm impressed with it. It's got another piece that attaches to hold another tool arm.

What kind of disc sander is that?

Beaumont tool rest and the nielson hub system. 2 hp Baldor.

My solution for the buffer is one of these style of collection hoods, https://www.axminster.co.uk/big-mouth-dust-hood-200114

It connects to a 10' 4" flexy hose on my system, I just drop it loose behind the buffer, (and can move it next to any other machine or process that is kicking out dust)

Hi Brian. Can that Mod-E use other work rests outside of the one that's listed on NRT's website? Nice little kit. I was looking at getting one, but the work rest is pretty small.

Im petty sure you can. But I would email Northridge.

Brian,

I'd love to see a video walk through of your final dust collection system if you have it all done (with commentary!) you've done a great job here.
