Abstract
A storage and dust port device combines a body having a hollow interior and a vacuum port for vacuuming up dust particles and chips with a device for storing tool bits. The dust collection portion and the storage portion may be part of the same body or may be connected together by various means. A lid may also be provided to protect the stored tools from dust. The storage and dust port device may include a means to secure it to the work table so that the device may be used as a guide or fulcrum so as to minimize the kickback of the work piece as a result of the machining operation.
Claims23
A tool storage and dust port device, comprising:
- a body having front, rear, left, right, top, and bottom surfaces, and defining an opening in said front surface forming an interior cavity,
- a vacuum port on one of said surfaces in fluid communication with said interior cavity and adapted for connection to a vacuum line;
- and
- a plurality of recesses on said body for receiving tools.
A tool storage and dust port device, comprising:
- a body having front, rear, left, right, top, and bottom surfaces, and defining an opening in said front surface forming an interior cavity;
- a vacuum port on one of said surfaces in fluid communication with said interior cavity and adapted for connection to a vacuum line;
- and
- a tool storage portion defining a plurality of recesses, wherein said body and said tool storage portion are separate pieces, and wherein said pieces are connected together to form the device.
