Anybody got one of these?

I need a down draft solution and soon. My Delta downdraft table attached to a cyclone dust collector ain't worth a hill of beans!

Any thoughts?
Thanks

Hesh that is a great idea and one that I will do if I get this machine.
By the way, I will be at work tomorrow, want me to bring the jet with me?

Lance,
   I have that Grizzl table and it works great! I actually picked it up when I
made the switch from nitro lacquer to the UV cured poly finish. The UV
finish creates clouds of dust when sanded so I needed a dedicated
solution and the down draft table was just what i needed.

   Those walls that help to contain and direct the draft actually unclip and
fold down out of the way to give a flat, open table top to work on. The
rubber grommets that protect the pieces you work from the edges of the
draft holes do a nice job too. The motor creates a really nice draft, but
you'll find that it's best to keep a few extra filters on hand.

    I'm actually going to vent it directly outside to eliminate the need for
the filters altogether.

    I'd recommend it to anyone.

Regards,

Thanks Kevin!
That is what I needed to hear!

That didn't take much (but coming from Kevin, you know there's wisdom there)

MMMMPPPPAAAAAAA (that's a virtual Darth Vadder breath) TAS is strong with this one! MMMMPPPPPPAAAAAA

I used one of these tables at my old job and it worked well if you remember to clean the filters. One gripe I had was the little rubber grommets. They like to fall out and when sanding just a top or a back or anything flat and thin, the piece would flex some between the rubber grommets. It was not my machine so I didnt modify it to stop the flex but maybe taking all the grommets out and putting down a flat surface that dust can go through would be a good idea.

Thanks Blake, that makes sense,
Maybe a flat board the size of your sanding piece, back, top or side would stiffen it for a better sanding surface..

Good tip! Thanks!

You could lay a piece of pegboard over it. Already has the holes in it. I saw one like that somewhere.
