Scrollnado

[GregBennett]

The sawdust has been piling up everywhere in my shop. I've been using a fan when it's hot out and a blow dryer when it's cold since my shop is unheated. I have a fish tank pump connected to the regular hose on my Bauer scroll saw. I started wearing a mask which is a bit comfortable and still get some dust infiltration due to the nose piece adjustment so my glasses don't fog up. I have a mask with the vent, but it's not a great solution.

Some time ago Steve Good did a video of the Scrollnado which seemed to be a low cost solution for dust collection, but they've been out of business for a while. I got on the internet and looked at various systems and did a search and found that Amazon had 5 in stock and bought one. It was a surprise to me that there will still any scrollnados around, and I bought one.

Hopefully it'll have all of its parts.

I would recommend WEN dust extractor, purchased mine 8 years ago and still working great

I purchased the Seyco Cyclone Dust Collection system and attached it to the Pegas.  Works great, but does not have a top pickup.

I have a Scrollnado. It is hooked up to my DW788; and a small Festool vacuum. 
It works keeping the dust down. I fiddle with the hoses to keep it inline with the cut. I do cut in my house. Spare room, ripped out the carpet and painted the floor. My sanders are also hooked to automatic vacuum.  My big tools are out in a shop.
