Apparatus for utilizing a conventional portable shop vacuum to facilitate the collection of dust generated by a machine tool in a workshop, to enable selective translation of the machine tool along a workshop floor among chosen locations by virtue of casters provided by the shop vacuum, and to render the machine tool stationary at any one particular chosen location along the workshop floor, the apparatus comprising:
a frame; a support construct carried by the frame for mounting the machine tool on the frame; a coupling construct for coupling the frame with the shop vacuum, with the casters of the shop vacuum in place upon the workshop floor for translation of the frame and the mounted machine tool along the workshop floor; and an actuating mechanism carried by the frame for selectively precluding further translation of the machine tool mounted on the frame, along the workshop floor upon placement of the machine tool at one particular chosen location. |
