It is a nice friction fit. I hooked it to a 1.0 HP Delta dust collector on a 55 gal. Drum and then a 1.5 HP Oneida dust collector and it picks up all the dust and chips. I had used this arrangement for more than 10 years.

The 2030 jointer is 60' long and one pass is plenty to get the face flat. Valiela Marine Ecological Processes Pdf Editor there. The jointer can hog off 1/8' in one pass if needed. Then the planer is quick at taking off 1/16' at a time. It can do more at a pass but 1/16' works best. Then I use a Performax 16-32 drum sander with 120 grit paper to remove the planer marks and get to the final thickness. It works like a dream.

The 2030 is the heart of it. I couldn't be happier with it. I have planed maple for 6 hours straight and it just keeps on going.
