Dust collection adapters shop vac to PVC made fast on the table saw

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

How to make adapters from 2" PVC pipe. These are great for shop vac dust collection or anything else. If you've ever wanted to use 2" PVC with your shop vac you will probably have to make your own adapters because there isn't one to purchase that I know of. If there is one it will most likely cost an arm and maybe a leg too. There are many ways to integrate PVC into your wet dry shop vac setup such as using a heat gun to manipulate some PVC into an adapter or even just simply using tape or something more primitive to attach the different fittings. The method I share in this video is nice because you can repeatedly make a perfect adapters in a short time and dry fit the parts to build a system that can be changed and reconfigured at will.
There are a few precautions that must be taken in order to do this operation safely. You must be fully aware of the blade height at all times. I do this by counting the revolutions and this will vary depending on your saw. You must also apply downward pressure on the pipe as the blade furthers the cut or the pipe could possibly move in an unwanted direction. You need to dial in the amount to remove and be sure to lower the blade before moving the fence for adjustments. It works best to only remove 1/8" of material at a time. If you try to remove more than this the blade may bind and not only will the cut not be smooth or straight but also some bad sh*t could happen. This operation is not recommended for beginners on the table saw. If you are not comfortable with this operation it would be best to have someone who is to make these adapters for you. This operation is probably not going to get approval by the safety police and I fully expect a few of them to dislike this video and red flag the concept.
Making the plug with the carriage bolt to spin the piece of pipe with the cordless drill definitely sped up the process and keeps your hands further from the blade. I recommend this method but it is "critical" that the bolt is centered when attached to the plug so the pipe spins properly balanced.
I also wanted to mention the easiest way to cut the hole of coarse would be with a big drill bit or a hole saw. Possibly a 2 3/8" if the pipe fit's tightly. I didn't have a 2 3/8" hole saw and my largest Forstner bit is 2 1/8". It is much easier to sneak up on the circle with a spindle sander and that is how I would prefer to have done it but I thought it would be more helpful to show that it could be done with only a jigsaw. That hole took a few minutes to make!

    Another option for pvc is a heat gun. Heat up the pvc until it is soft, then you can push it into the shop vac fitting. Once it cools, you can pull it back out and it will stay conformed to the shop vac fitting.

    Shop Vac fittings are tapered to give a seal when they are seated. Tilt the blade 1* and do everything else the same. They won't pull out or vibrate out when in use and the little twist at the end makes it secure.Good video and Good Luck!

    And not only this, but many other things can be easily done with a drill, thanks to its ability to turn slowly. I often use my hand drill to spin a small part while using a Dremel or a sander to perform some cut or sanding. The drill keeps the part centered and turns it to achieve an uniform material removal!

    Such a Great idea on making the fittings. A slight degree of tilt in the table saw blade and you can make tapered fitting connections for a snug fit with some range. Now I’m thinking this could be useful for tapering round wooden legs to be but into holes for chair leg joinery.

This way I'd have more to grip (above the fence) while turning. But then... you whipped out the cordless drill idea and BOOM! Mind blown! Clearly, I didn't know who I was dealing with - lol. What a game changer. Genius idea brother!

    For that final touch, spray some slightly diluted acetone on the rough cut. It will soften the PVC a bit and as it dries out it should leave a very smooth finish. (or if you have it, you can use PVC primer and let it dry)

    Seems as though using a very small angle to the blade, 3-4°, may help the friction fit seal, if done correctly. Extra taper may help account for variance in different manufacturers and stretching or contraction from wear or temperature. To much may result in lack of sealing surface though... Will be trying in the coming weeks myself. Will report back if I recall too.

    Thanks Steve! The router table will work too. Some of my commenters recommended tilting the blade on the table saw to create a slight taper and I have found 1 degree to be the sweet spot for the perfect fit if you do make this jig. This makes for a perfect fit every time with some tolerances. Something to consider when working out the router table version. Be sure to check out the next video in the series and if you just need a few adapters you can always get them from me. B3G1F Links in the description :)

    If you have that much invested in tools then you probably have a lathe. No jig to build. No trying to get a round hole with a jig saw.

    Good morning again. As a quick follow up to my comments yesterday, I found that my hand held jig saw didn’t quite get the desired true hole I had hoped for. I don’t have a spindle sander but plan to pick up a 2 1/4 hole saw today then “ sneak” up on the perfect 2 3/8 hole I need. Though my first attempt wasn’t as neat, the outcome still yielded 4 usable adapters. Many thanks again

    Great idea. I have a bunch of stationary and hand power tools with different sized dust ports. I have a ryobi battery rolling vacuum. No one seemed to make all the adapters I needed so I finally figured out to use the rubber pipe adapters that have metal bands you tighten around each end. Was able to order all the different sized ones I needed off Amazon and weren't expensive. They work great!

    Ingenious! I like how you think! A very creative and easy solution to a problem we all face with any dust collection system. The tool manufacturers really need to get on the same page and make tool ports all the same. It's just another way they force us to either buy adapters like Rockler's tool adaption hose kit or go to the drawing board and create our own adapters. In this case, your solution which I just may have to try myself! I currently use a big garage wall type of vac for all my tools and it works great for my handheld power tools, but not so much for my larger tools. I have a large Rigid shop vac in my basement that is practically brand new that may get added to the system until I can get a 2 or 3 hp DC. My only dislike of using either is the noise they make. The spring project of 2021 is to build a DC "closet" off the back of the shop. Thank you for sharing this with us.

    That is a cool idea for a jig. I noticed that you have 5 or 6 Ridgid shop vacs, that I can see. Those start out at 80$ and go can double depending that depending on what vac you get. That's 500$ on the low end in shop vacs. You can buy a standalone dust system for that and not only save a lot of space but have a better system. I built a dust system with a shop vac (gift) and made it into a standup cart so I can move it around. It works great but couldn't imagine using that many vacs.
