3520B Banjo

The slots are intended to hold attachments, of which there is only one that I'm aware of...a duct collection hood, like in the photo below.

I just ordered a PM2020, and don't see that as an option. Can you provide more details regarding this? I was trying to figure out dust collection for the lathe ice it arrives.

I did a Google search on various terms like "Powermatic 3520B dust collection", but couldn't come up with any retail suppliers. Not even eBay has one for sale that I could find. There's a brief note about them through the link below, but that's all I've found online.

However, I have one that I don't use any more...bought it when they first came out several years ago...photo below. Shoot me an email if interested: yoyo@yoyospin.com

Ed, where did you get the yellow dust hood in the photo? Looks like a good one.

I'm not Sir Davidson but I bought two like that from Woodcraft. One came in a kit with a piece of 4" stay-put flex hose and some fittings:

It's amazing how well this works on the lathe.

Yep, that Woodcraft set-up is what I have. Like it a lot...

There was recent mention on the AAW forum of the dust hood Powermatic used to sell. Not available anymore apparently.

Seems perfect for a home-made hollowing rig

I have a 3520B and it does surprise me that the banjo t-slot has not been put to more use, for instance a small hollowing system that would allow you to slide the holding device sideways by loosening a few wingnuts.
