Well! After 10 months of thinking, designing and building, our Downdraft Sanding Center is complete!

With my roll around Delta dust collector hooked up, I am very pleased with the draw through the table top. Sanding the window frame shown, even on top of the Bench Cookies, I could actually see the dust being whisked away.

The final step was to cut a 4" hole in the side of the top and add a 4" port to connect the dust collector. I simply cut the hole with my jigsaw and attached the port with some screws and a little caulk to seal the port.

If you have been following along with this build, please feel free to send us your version of the sanding center, we would love to share them here on the blog or in our newsletter.

If you have not been following along but want to build your own sanding center, you can go back and read the posts from June 2011 until now.

I certainly invite you to add your thoughts or send along ideas that have worked well for you. Please feel free to add your comments here on the blog, on our Facebook page, or via Twitter. Let us know what you think! -2Sand.com
