Dust collector setup:
The red arrow indicate the air flow direction, This picture shows the dust go through the first stage filter, which is the dust deputy.
the dust deputy is connected to the harbor freight 1ph dust collector.
I have noticed the dust collector bag doesn’t collect fine dust very well. so i built a third stage filter out the very fine dust. this is probably overkill and you probably not going to need it.
I used two shopvac filter.
Completely flash air, I can breath this all day long

How to switch out plywood.
On the sled, i have drilled this magic hole…
And on the top of the working area. I have this magic screw…
They stay above the working area when they mate…
All of the connections are removable.
Its actually a lot easier to replace the plywood when all the cables/ hoses are out of the way.

I have a similar HF DC and recently replaced the bag with this. From limited use it works OK, much better than stock for less dust and more airflow. It’s on a wood lathe with a trash can lid separator

I know this is a long shot but any change you drew up some plans for your box build? Looking to build something similar and add sound dampening as I am going to take the bold step to try and use my Maslow in my apartment 
Great work my friend!

Awesome build… Definite mind processing material…
Do you offer your 3d printed collector for sale, or is it possible to get the model so we can print one ourselves?

sorry, I don’t have anything written down. But if you have any questions, feel free to ask me.
This setup does damp the noise for quite a bit.

This is actually just a very simple drawing. I have glued PVC pipes on the side and the clear plastic that came with the rigid router.
I only spent like 10mins on the drawing, someone can probably make the drawing a lot better.

Roger that Johnny5. I will have a go at the build in the next month or so. I’ll post anything that I feel adds to the project and will definitely (probably very likely) hit you up for advice along the way.

Dang! Beautiful setup man. Really shows the potential of how clean a build can be. I feel like I am currently in the opposite situation on my build so far lol. I don’t even have a vacuum attachment that fits properly for my cheap router! But I’m working on that. Great work!
