[C320-list] Hatches and Portlights and Deadlights...oh my...

[Troy Dunn]

Oh wow!  I have read articles in wood working magazines about being careful
with plastic hoses on the dust collector but that was always about igniting

the cabinet saw and sending a jolt to the unsuspecting woodworker.   That
had to be quite a shock!   🌩
