How to Use the Trace with the Shaper Origin for Original Engraves

Hey John, New subscriber. Love the content you provide. Was wondering if you could do a quick video showing how you did your dust collection on your Powermatic drum sander? I just moved into my new shop and have a Supermax 19/38 that has to live on a wall and be pulled out when I'm going to use it. I have been going nuts trying to figure out how Im gonna run ducting to it. I always figured it would drop down over head but then Id have a hose living in the middle of my walkway when the sander wasn't in use. I like your idea of running ducting low on that back wall. That may solve all my problems if I did the same. I have all of my sanders grouped together along one wall. Edge sander, Spindle sander, and drum sander. all with collection ports in different locations. How much of a pain is it to use your drum sander when pulled out from the wall having that floppy hose hanging off the side?

ok. just saw you did an unboxing and review of the powermatic drum sander. Are you able to pull it out from the wall more than what you show in the video? I need to pull mine out about 2-3 feet or so to make it usable around the other machines

My ducting comes down the wall to flex hose to the planer, there is an extra couple feet of flex so it can move out a little, probably 2 feet.

I kind of like it a little hard to use, because I don't want the kids to go right to it instead of cutting to length. If not regulated it starts to get used as a crutch. Instead of precision woodworking
