Safety Warning
Safety Warning: Do not remove a factory-installed blade guard to install this accessory. We've designed this dust-collector hood for those who do not have the blade guard provided by the saw's manufacturer. You must use feather boards in conjunction with this hood; we show you how to build those on page 14 in the Downloadable Plans. In use, adjust the height of the hood over the saw table to suit the thickness of the stock you're sawing, and tighten the wing knobs. We like to set the height to the thickness of the material plus 1/4".

I built this last year from the Wood Magazine plans...the most useless & cumbersome piece of junk I've ever built & tried to use.

7/15/2010 11:56:42 PM Report AbuseI clicked on the "Start CollectingDust" link and then clicked on the "free plan" link. Just as jim593, it worked for me and I use WinXPsp3
7/15/2010 10:37:07 AM Report Abuseit opens easily, saves easily, prints easily.....maybe some of you guys shouldn't be playing with sharp objects.....back away from the computer, back far away..........THANKS WOOD
7/15/2010 10:34:16 AM Report AbuseI managed to print it to a PDF file. If anyone needs it, I'll email it to you. My address is ericbroder_at_comcast.net
7/15/2010 09:44:21 AM Report AbuseWhy are these plans not in pdf format. It would be a lot easier to download.
7/14/2010 03:01:17 PM Report AbuseWhere do you go , and how do you download this plan?
7/11/2010 10:10:50 PM Report AbuseJust downloaded it and was pleased to see the plans for the featherboard-hold downs. Good stuff. I agree, this is an awful lot of compaining about free stuff.
7/10/2010 11:33:52 PM Report AbuseGo to "Pages in this story". Left click on "Start collecting dust". Below the copyright line left click on "For free plan click here". The PDF file will show up, with MSN click on File and then Save as. This worked for me.
7/10/2010 01:31:48 PM Report Abusehow do you stain filled in wood?
7/9/2010 08:48:41 PM Report AbuseFree is a very abstract term. Do you mean "free" as in free beer- Here's a glass of beer?" Or do you mean "free beer"- Here's what we would like you to do?
7/9/2010 07:27:09 AM Report AbuseWow - sounds like a lot of folks are wrapped a little too tight - Independence should allow everyone a little independence (time off). Afetr all - the stuff is FREE.
7/8/2010 11:43:52 AM Report AbuseThis problem has been corrected. Marlen @ WOOD
7/6/2010 01:25:44 PM Report AbuseSorry for the delay, with the holiday weekend we just learned of this problem today, 7/6, we'll get the linked fixed for the downloadable version of this plan. Marlen @ WOOD
7/6/2010 09:57:44 AM Report AbuseI was able to down load the entire plan(all 1710 Kb) using my Acrobat Reader 5.0 with no problems whatsoever. Thanks WOOD!
7/2/2010 01:56:02 PM Report AbuseTypo noted. PRINT icon. It also saved to mydoc/wood file.
7/2/2010 09:57:31 AM Report AbuseDitto - I get this error message when trying to download the plan; "Adobe Acrobat could not open file 'Dp-00097[2].pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged."
7/1/2010 06:26:27 PM Report AbuseI selected "print this" then highlighted everthing I wanted, right clicked, selected copy. Then I opened MS Word and pasted it, and saved to a file. Worked fine.
7/1/2010 05:03:06 PM Report AbuseTo get this download I had to open the page named "add the support" and print from there( 7 pages)
7/1/2010 01:41:17 PM Report AbuseNope. Won't download.
7/1/2010 01:31:43 PM Report AbuseI'm on a Mac so I can print anything to a .PDF file. Here's one way around the problem of file being corrupted: Use the application Evernote. This allows you to copy entire pages for archiving. You could also try to copy and past all the text and images into your word processing software to create a file with everything you need.
