WOODRIVERDust Connection Universal Dust Collection Boom

Great product and extremely useful.

Product is a good design. But funnel was broken when I opened the item.

Easy to assemble and works as designed. The reason for three stars is due to a weak point at the first joint from the base mount. With the boom setup, and 4” hose attached the joint bends under the weight. I doubt this joint will last long before buckling. Even with the hose partially supported the joint is still bending under the boom’s weight.

The packaging was damaged when delivered. Upon installation I noticed the plastic intake was cracked all the way through, I didn't have time to send it back and get a new one so I just duct taped the cracked plastic back together.when I was piecing the unit together, I noticed the arms were not matching up, when looking at the diagram I realized I was missing a section of the metal arm all together, I made it work nevertheless but it was defiantly an inconvenience to say the least.

It's ok. It worked for me but not without modifications. The boom is flimsy and can't even support it's own weight so I strapped it to the ceiling beam. If you know this going in its an ok item and will do the job.

The media could not be loaded. Was looking forward to this item to create an adjustable solution for the dust collection on my lathe table. The most important part of this whole setup that should be the strongest is the weakest. Cheap!!! I can bend with ease. Absolutely needs to be re-engineered or braced. The instructions were also horrible. See my video.

Because of the reach the first pivot point doesn't hold the weight when fully extended had to do some major modifications for it to hold properly. Suction is only as good as the filter your using.

The crucial joint, pictured here, is so weak that the head of the vertical post bends under the weight of boom arm. Save your money. This is a return.
