1) Submitted by Frank Petruso, from Florissant, MO on 11/15/2009 Customer Rating: I have found that this dust collection hood works very well. It takes a little planning when setting it up for use like extending the tail stock support out to give more clearance for your tool rest and I use a flexible work light that can be placed low & to the rear to keep glare off of the clear fold down shield as seen in the photo. The dust collection is concentrated & works well. I made a wooden bracket that is easy to slide back & forth & more convienent to use on longer turnings.

2) Submitted by Trevor, from Fairfax, VA on 11/26/2007 Customer Rating: I found this dust hood to work very well for pen turning and spindle turning. It focuses the vacuum in a small area which picked up all the shavings & fine sanding dust. I use a C-Clamp myself and it does the job. Pen Turning (click to see full-size picture in new window)

3) Submitted by Bob Hart, from Argyle, TX on 10/21/2007 Customer Rating: Many of the products that I have purchased from Rocker have had very good instalation options and/or instructions. This product did not include any instructions and as of yet found a good way to mount the shield. I am sure that once I figure it out it will be a neat additions to by collections of stuff. Editor's note: This hood mounts by clamping the bracket to the back of the lathe bed. It includes a mounting bracket to allow easy installation on to many different styles of lathe. Clamping can be done with an ordinary C-clamp.

4) Submitted by Warren Hadley, from Geneseo, IL on 10/13/2007 Customer Rating: Perhaps it is an unfair rating that I gave the dust hood since I turn mostly bowls rather than spindles but it does a very poor jpb of intercepting the shavings from bowl turning. It is just not large enough.

5) Submitted by P&W Wood Shop, from Erin, TN on 3/8/2008 Customer Rating: I have a large shop and get all my stuff at Rockler 'cause they have the best stuff for the best price. This hood is partly cloudy at best.

6) Submitted by Grandpa's Orchard on 3/9/2008 Customer Rating: This may work for a very small project, but it is not adequate for most turning jobs. It is too small and the hinged lid is practically impossible to use while turning. I would not order it again.

7) Submitted by Joe, from Toronto, OH on 3/27/2008 Customer Rating: I would not reccomend this product as after approx. 3 hrs. of turning time the unit was similar to viewing through smeared plexiglass. All depth perception for turning was lost and thus the advantage of using the hinged door in the down position is gone. The dust shield obstructs the rear of the tool post holder also and locking the tool post holder in an angle does get hindurous after several dozen times. My shield is off now and sitting on the shelf.
