Wadkin AGS 10" - Dust collection ?

[tusses]

Wadkin AGS 10"

its open on one side where the motor hangs out and falls and rises.

also the smiley mouth opening on the front with the tilt indicator on.



has anyone made a successful DC system for theirs ?

how much use is an overhead DC ? as most of the dust ends up in the bottom

I did think about boxing the whole lot in with a vent by the motor ?? what ya reckon ?

My 10BRT (a metric version of AGS10) came with such a cover that funnels sawdust downwards. It has a 100mm hole in the side but I found it pretty ineffective at capturing the dust. I covered this hole and built the duct connector box and that gets the worst of the dust to the extractor. However, I still get sawdust escaping from other parts of the saw - the rise and fall handle on the front and also underneath as the angled metal sheet in the base of the saw that funnels the sawdust outwards has some gaps around its edges.
