You can put your woodworking skills to the test by making this quick and inexpensive dust collector. It's one of the most important parts of a drill press so you don't want to be without one simply because you don't want to purchase one. Take a look at how to make your own:

1. Mark a piece of scrap with 0″, 1″, 2″ and 3″ sides surrounding a circle the circumference of a dust collecting hose.

2. Cut 1.5″ strips of wood to surround the backside of the jig. Glue and fasten.

3. Cut the face of the jig to accommodate the dust collection hose.

4. Create a tube assembly that will connect to a dust collection hose and a second hose if the drill press allows.

5. Attach the assembly to the wood structure.

6. Clamp in place and connect the main dust collector hose and any auxiliary hoses to the assembly.
