Does anyone have an Energy chain on a newer Shopbot Standard? Any ideas on how to secure dust collection to this set up? Thanks much!

I also have e-chain. Dust collection runs up the the ceiling, suspended by a spring loaded tool retractor. Even when I had the "golden arch" I had my dust collection running separate. The dust collection hose seemed too heavy for the arch.

I did something similar to Gary's setup.I didn't attach my dust collector to the e-chain.It's attached to the ceiling on a sliding door tract,works well so far.

Hi Sarah,

Here is a link to my PRS energy chain and extractor setup.
