Sorry folks there is a strip brush surround but not in that particular photo!

The dust extractor is a 5hp 1500cfm cyclone.. i still have to wear hearing protection because of the spindle and dustie.

The 6” hose sucks huge amounts of dust and chips normally, but the strip brush gets sucked into the pipe restricting it a bit and it’s just physics that the hose isn’t near enough to the cutter on the far side where MDF dust is being thrown off the cutter and blowing through the strip brush.

There isn’t any real duct shape to deflect dust and chips, and optimise air flow with the flat profile dust hood.

That’s why I want to try a 3d printed shape and will post updates.
