First, great video. Clear voice-over, simple camera angles, and very informative. Second, in my opinion people should start calling out the predatory companies like the one that tried to charge you triple of what another store charged you. Hell, mention them both so local folks know where to shop and where to avoid.

mounting that quick change to the wall is brilliant. No blast gate or cap needed, it never passes air until you pull it from the wall. Great idea, and I will do the same (setting up mine over the next couple weeks).

Ah man this is a great install I’ve been putting mine in to my basement shop with low ceilings. It would be so nice to have this much headspace for routing pipes! Thanks for your show!

I've given a lot of thought recently to updating the layout of my shop, including the addition of better dust collection. I have the Dust Right 650 wall-mounted with just the 4" expandable hose that I swap between tools. I'm watching this almost four years to the day you posted it, and this has given me some great ideas on a direction to take. Thank you!

Great mounting brackets! I'm going to need several when I get my dust collection build started. Nicely done!

Really nice install, and great shop layout -- wish I had that much space. I built a 4" system last year (my vacuum could never handle 6" ducting), and, all the parts came from Rockler as well (I'm lucky to have one just a few miles away). I did find one issue with the 4" plastic blast gates, that you may or may not run into with the 6" version. On the gates that service the more heavily used equipment (table saw, universal port, chop saw) the dust would collect in the groove that the gate slides into. After a while the gate wouldn't close completely, and suction would suffer, so I'd be constantly cleaning out those grooves with a screwdriver, or awl... Finally, I replaced the plastic gates with metal, self-cleaning blast gates from Lee Valley. Pricier, but worth it to me. No more issues. Anyway, great video... enjoy the new system.

I just finished building a 4" thin wall PVC system for my shop. Just using a 2hp HF collector, but it's a tiny shop and on a budget. Still feels awesome!

Really awesome system, really satisfying to watch it come together and work. I can't wait to have something like this in my factory one day

Great video. I just built my own 810sqft shop for woodworking. I started with a cyclone dust collection for my shop vac. So so results. I have been think about a more polished functional dust collection system and your video has me inspired. Love the wooden brackets over metal strapping. Keep the videos coming. Subscribed.

Great job love the way you made the brackets it's like having a giant wet vac for the whole shop. Being that saw dust is flammable I would look into some fire prevention system just in case. Love you're shop.

Love the dust collection. Great job👍🏼

Just installed my CV1800 over the weekend. Great unit

I just came across your channel. I love it! I'm taking one end of one of the buildings of the dairy farm I recently bought and turning it into my woodworking shop, 36' x 36'. (A guy needs a get-away.) I have questioned my dust collection from day one. I think you just answered it. Great job. I look forward to your content.

dude this is clean AF! good job and thanks for sharing!

Looks so amazing and love the sweeping port

Yes, the sweeping port is the slickest part of the system, IMO.

Randomly came across this video. Well done! Love the humor, and the reccomendations!

Excellent video and process. You must love it when a plan comes together. Thanks for sharing. I will add this project to my wish list.

Sweet System and Install ! What a huge improvement nice work om all the Custom brackets

This gave me a lot of inspiration for my dust collection, thanks.

Nice job. I just finished my system... 6" main run to the center of my shop, a 6" to dual 4" y-pipe (came with my Grizzly) for sub-runs to my two main tool areas and then with blast gate controlled branches to each tool's flex hose final (4" and 2.5"). I used SDR 35 pipe and found the easiest way to cut it by drilling a small hole and using a jigsaw. SDR 35 pipe and fittings are so much cheaper than schedule 40... about half the cost. My system works great... Grizzly G0944 with an Oneida Super Dust Deputy XL (6" inlet/outlet), wall mounted with easy to remove bin under the Oneida.

New woodworker here.... definitely taking notes!! Nice work! Thanks for all the content!

Great review/system build. I’ve been brainstorming on how to set up something for my garage. I like this set up a lot. Thanks for sharing.

WOW!!! a really good job! congratulations!

Very impressive installation and great job running that pipe.

Not sure what is about this video but its so clean, precise and clear information. Very effecient! Thank you, a project I need to tackle👍🏻

Fantastic video and great timing as we’re tackling dust collection in my shop this weekend!!

Awesome! Good luck!!

I enjoyed this video. Well executed, no waste of time and you actually showed the results with each of your machines. I appreciate that. I am trying to figure out how to set up a dust collection system in a new shop I am having built. It's a 50x60 workshop and my first project is dust collection. This video will help me with that project. Thank you for posting and you have earned another subscriber.

WOW....what an awesome video. I'm impressed....and I seriously appreciate your time and information.

That looks absolutely amazing

Great video. Informative without allot of fluff. Well shot, not too loud or too long for the content covered.

Congrats! It's awesome Michael!

In my experience, if you drop straight down to each tool (as in the example above), they each act as interceptor collecting bin (you've basically built a venturi port). Dust from the farthest tool can't jump that gap and ends up pooling in the adjacent tool drop. The trick is to have at least a short horizontal section at each fork, so dust heading to the collector doesn't have to jump across any down-pipes... cause it won't! A buddy of mine, who built his as shown above, has to now run around his shop, starting from the farthest tool, and open and close each gate to get the dust to hop from one tool drop to the next on the way to the collector!

Great build. I worked in a dry food plant, we had metal vacuum system from Hoffman, went to PVC system then back to metal.The biggest problem was static electricity, we solved that with sheet metal screws into the vacuum stream, then attached to copper wire & grounded on conduit or metal poles. The PVC pipe got holes in it much sooner the metal pipe, that the reason we went back to metal. That may not be a problem for you, because we had truck load of salt & sand like waste that cut/ground though the pipe. You have saw dust & wood chips, but I wanted to make you aware of the potential problems. I have never worked in a wood shop with PVC systems, all I worked in had no vacuum system or they had all metal. I am building a small shop for a friend on his farm & we will look at Rockler when we do.

We live in a world with instant messages, we watch instructions seconds on our computers from across the globe.. But dust collection.. We still live in the stone age here in Sweden with our shopvacs and the old hose-impeller bag/filter bag.. Showed my cyclone for a 2" pipe to my dad and he couldnt belive his eyes.. It was like magic..

Thanks! I'm going to use this idea to vent my four 3D printers with a central system.

Really nice system! Thanks for posting.

Real nice review and video my friend! Thanks for sharing. BTW, great looking setup for that dust collector too!

Very satisfying to watch... I think things getting cleaned is also satisfying to watch :)

Your an artist/craftsman with everything you do.

Nice icepick shout-out Love it!

Congratulations! 🍾

I am so envious of your shop and this dust collection. Though I couldnt use it myself (handicapped), I know that I would if I could AND I know you are going to be very happy with it. Enjoy the extra time woodworking instead of raw cleaning!

Nicely done Michael 👍 Very functional too 😃

12:31 The silicone tape is the real hero here and looks like it came in handy.....quite handy indeed. Fantastic for re attachment of.. separate tissues. Its properties make it effortless due to the unique way in which it adheres to the human cells. Not only is it effective and inexpensive but its also sexy. The air cleaner was great too. Thank.

It's Feb 2021 and I've been dealing with shortages of just about everything. I checked over a half dozen local plumbing pipe distributors and no one had 6" thin wall PVC. I finally found SDR 35 at a yard specializing in sewer and drain, mostly used for road construction. They had a great price too.

Outstanding video. Very informative. Thank you.

Great presentation and really informative...thanks for posting.

This was so amazing and satisfying to watch

Love this, got something similar planned. Cheers from Australia

Having grown up pushing boards through table-saws with scraps, that little board pusher you have there is pretty neat.

Bravo!....looks great!...love that floor collector

Excellent video and great ideas many of which I will use for my shop vacuum system!

Great narrative on your installation. 👍🏻👍🏻

Excellent job. Work great and look awesome!

Great job buddy, not seen to many 6” main track too often....looks awesome too..😎

Excellent, especially the tape.

Great job! Love your videos.

There's nothing more eternal than something temporary :) Cool system. 👍

Good job!! Looks great

Nice Job! Got good ideas from you! Thank you.

Nice job. My old system used the thin wall 4” PVC pipe but I never figured the 6” would be so effective. It must be a volume thing 🧐 I’m with Katz Man…love that tape!

very nice install. rollin easy is hard to beat.

Great video as always. I've cut a lot of large PVC pipe on a table saw. The easiest way is to use a sled and a stop block. Push the sled and pipe into the blade and then rotate the pipe slowly with your fingers and you get a perfect 360 degree cut.

Nice setup!

Dude, I would wish that have system here in Brazil. awesome. congratulation.

Great system. I wish I had the room for such a tall unit. I found for my bandsaw and drill press flexible drain pipe is great for getting the dust on the surface. I actually got one in silver instead of white for $5.00 on eBay. I made some homemade clamps to hold it in place and on the end that is closest to the workpiece is a small rectangle port that actually came with a vacuum cleaner. They do sell them though at Rockler if that is your go-to place.

Excellent info, thanks much!

Great video ! Six inch is the way to go. Original dust collector also works great with 6 inch pipes. Plumbing supply in Belleville Ontario Canada selling one 4" by 6" reducer for $56 Canadian . Using 10 ft flexible until I can source reasonable prices on earth.

This is so satisfying

Great system and ideas.

Great video and very helpful. That's the exact dust collector I'm planning to buy - great job.
