Spindle Sander Dust Hood

thingiverse

My spindle sander is quite old, made in the 60s, and has no dust collection at all. I made a dust collection hood that fits a standard 4 inch dust hose and is held down by magnets. The magnets were so strong that they pulled right out of the base so I put a wood block on top and put a screw through them to hold them in place. I may redesign this to make it stronger where the magnet is screwed in place but it works for now and the cost in plastic would be more than the scrap I used for blocks.Works quite well and prints with no supports. There are 2 versions, a Tall, a Short, and a Tall with Top.
