enclosed hood for bench lathe

[Ryan Gottlieb]

I need a fully enclosed hood system for a bench lathe in the model room. this is the kind of thing I would usually NEVER buy, but would opt to build custom myself. I have no time to build it, so I need to swallow my pride. I have found a few in the jewelry industry, but not as many as I had expected. Any suggestions?
thanks,
Ryan

I had mine made buy a local heating/air shop. Just sheet metal, but fits/works nice.

Is this for a polish & pumice? Do you want it mounted to the bottom of cabinets or siting on the work top? What kind of vaccume do you have available for it to work with? What size lathe will be in it? What kind of lighting do you need with it. & what size do you need? Some things to think about before calling a carpenter or sheetmetal dude.
