I had no choice but to remove the corner of the unit (could not remove more as it is holding the base that acts as a guard) to allow the handle to operate which in turn snookered the use of the second screw hole #-o .
Also the free rotating aluminium bar which held the original chute had to stabilised, when loose it interfered with the feeding in of the timber, just a block attached to the underside of the new chute does the job.
With no other sensible location for a second screw or clip I fitted a location plate either side which stops the sideways movement and the use of just the one screw stops the fore and aft movement.
Worth considering the direction of the outlet connection, parallel to the table axis or at an angle so the discharge pipe is not hanging over the table end interfering with the outfeed of the timber
Looking at the original chute slot, remembering the chippings are then forced through the secondary chute before being ejected into the extraction hose it is not surprising that choking of the chippings can occur
Not wishing to disappoint any member, after great thought I modified the tray for storage :roll:
Finally the storage for the other chute is quite handy. This of course was planned :!: :!:
There could to be a bonus! the wooden chute seems to absorb a lot of the noise previously audible when using the thin plastic chute. Might even try some expanding foam in the voids adjacent to the baffles, could improve things further
There is a small gap under the chute at either end of the cutter block, this was impractical to eliminate during construction. It could easily be covered with a small piece of rubber, however during extensive field trials (hammer) (hammer) (hammer) they seemed not to be an issue.
