Dust collection installation and upgrade

Double Taper Sanding Disc: www.mikefarrington.com/dt-disc
In this video I install a new to me dust collector I bought used off Craig's List. I cover the duct work installation, why I went with this particular collector, and a few tips and tricks for better dust collection. Dust collection is both an art and a science, as such its never perfect and small changes and improvements can always be made. I will try to cover changes I make to this system in future videos. This video is in no way meant to teach everything about setting up a dust collection system, I don't have anywhere close to the knowledge needed for that. It is meant to add to the collective pile of knowledge here on the Mighty KZread. I hope you find this video either useful or mildly entertaining. Questions, comments, and feedback are welcome.

    Everything you've done is perfect and to the book! But... If you have any heating using natural gas/propane heating devices or, Burning wood heat woodstove.... Even air-conditioning cooling, exhausting chip and airflow to the outside is bad! I'm glad you thought about this. The other thing about this is if you air condition or keep cooler climate inside during the summer months.... Humid air being sucked in promotes rust to cast iron. I am religiously wax my surfaces cast-iron surfaces, and within 20 minutes of the garage door open I can see small amounts of surface rust on machines. I do run a dehumidifier and air conditioning.

    I have a small time two stage collection system and I use the green sewer pipe. I have a small shop. I liked the tip for adding screws and running wire and grounding it to the dust collector in order to mitigate the static electricity so the dust doesn’t stick as much too the outside of the pipe. I had never heard that before. I always was told to do it (although I haven’t yet) to mitigate an explosion 💥. Thanks for the tip.

    Nice work Mike. I have the same Cyclone but the 3 hp. I did notice once I ran a straight 8" pipe for 8' out of the intake, the airflow really increased. Also venting outside, incredible suction, only dust to really go outside is from the drum sander. I purchased my system off CL as well, $1700.00 and the spiral pipe that the previous owner had for his 3 car shop, was close to 3k in just pipe and fittings. I decided to go with aluminum tape instead of duct seal, as my small 2 car shop is always changing. Woud love to have your woodshop mansion space...

    I so love the cadence of your videos. They are so very relaxing. The one thing I would suggest would be some way to activate the dust collector remotely. Thus, you could turn it on from a few key spots in the shop and turn it back of if you weren't going to be using it for a bit. It would help with the noise issue.

    A good and timely video. Dust collection is woefully inadequate in my shared shop. Would have loved for you to touch on the pipe size calculations.

    I pretty much read the entire internet on how to calculate pipe size. I know more than I will ever need to know, yet I still really don't know how to really calculate one scenario to the other. I never really found a good system to lay everything out with mathematics. So in the end I just used my head and realized there would be compromises. Yeah, with regard to adding that kind of detail to the video, I have a hard enough time getting people to watch, let alone if I started droning on about math.

    Speaking as an HVAC/R guy I have to say that that spiral pipe is kind of overkill for this application unless you want that ascetic. The only spiral I've ever installed was when it was meant to be left exposed in a finished space, again for mainly ascetic reasons. A standard round pipe is typically way cheaper, lighter, easier to cut (being that it's shipped "flat" and assembled on site). Also that sealant they sold you wouldn't be my first choice in this application either. I have seen it degrade over time. Aluminum tape would be far easier to deal with and once it's on there it's not going anywhere until you remove it. And one last tip, I was taught to pipe essentially in reverse so in this scenario I'd pipe from the tool back towards the collector....it's far easier to get your drop exactly where you want it this way.

    I appreciate the comment, but I would have to disagree. I paid about the same for this pipe as I could have bought a similar gauge snaploc pipe from Lowes, which would have been special order. The gauge of the pipe was based off what the manufacturer suggests. Having done a little work with the the snap stuff, I really didn't think this was any harder or easier to work with. Using a chop saw to cut it was way easier than a pair of tin snips. The sealant was recommended to me by a friend I have who works as a dust collector installer, plus tape wouldn't be able to seal the inside corners of the wyes. Installing backward or forwards, either way, thats a matter of preference and would depend on the situation.

Pricing may be a matter of geographical location but spiral duct is WAY more expensive in and around the Chicago area than standard round pipe.

    Nice work! I like how you planned out your blast gate location. I just finished up my DC piping this weekend. I think I spent about twice as much time planning the blast gate locations as I did actually installing the piping. I got pretty OCD about making sure all gates were about an arms reach away from the tool's power switch. Effort well spent in my opinion.

    Always love your dry wit Mike. If I understand correctly, the static in dust collection is more than a nuisance; it can result in explosions. Arguably a more compelling reason to mitigate static electricity in your ducts. Before I get torn apart in the comments, I know there is debate around this topic. The debate is not whether sawdust can explode; this is easily demonstrable. Rather, the question is whether static discharge is sufficient to trigger the explosion. Given the high variability in shop conditions, such as humidity, wood type, saw dust particle size, and so on, It would be tough to test the hypothesis accounting for every variable. I'd prefer to spend a bit of time and a small amount of money grounding the system than run the risk, however minute, that I could become one with my shop tools. All that said, I'm no expert. Do your own research and decide which side of the risk equation you want to land on. Happy woodworking!

    This is a myth, and there are not recorded incidents of dust collectors at this level having an explosion. The mixture of air and dust isn't right, and there's seldom a source of ignition. The largest possible source of problems is sucking up a screw, having it hit the impeller and drop a spark into the dust in the barrel, but even that is very rare.

  • @MikeFarrington

    I would also add that the concentration dust needs to be at in order to be explosive is very very high. Meaning you could be running your table saw full blast and hold a lighter in the collection pipe and it would explode as there just wouldn't be enough ignitable material. But yes, there is a risk of explosion, thats the reason dust stoves are not readily available in the US.
