This is one of the first dust collection build videos that don't have me scratching my head at the decision making. Great video, nicely documented steps. I'm going to price these parts and watch this while I build it. Thanks for your efforts.

I've watched a lot of these kinds of 2-stage filter setup videos, and I liked yours best. Thank you for putting this together. I'm getting ready to copy your build almost exactly. Only thing I'm doing differently is using a clear bucket under the filter so I can see if there's anything dropping into the bucket. Probably not needed, but it'll keep me from constantly checking it. lol

Easily the best video I’ve seen on this subject - the engineering is well thought out and preserves the maximum suction/airflow possible - really great job on this- install looks super clean

I’ve just completed a setup like this with a few small adjustments since I wasn’t installing in a corner. Thank you for this video and awesome improvement to the harbor freight dust collector!

I’ve watched 20 of these trying to figure out how I’m going to do it. I saw yours and said, “Yes!”

Nice job! That's almost identical to the dust collector I made! I used a trash can instead of a barrel and my Y connector on dust deputy, one port goes outside through the wall and the other side is for inside. It works great

Definitely using this design as inspiration for my shop dust collection. Awesome video, loved the wailing guitar background music!

This is great, I did a ton of research and this setup seemed like the optimal combo, now you made it much easier to visualize, design and mount up. Thank you!

Thanks! ive been putting this off for to long. This video was well done short and to the point! Many thanks.

I really like your common sense easy to watch videos. You go straight to the heart of the subject your videos are about without all the extraneous crap on others. A BIG BZ to you sir (bravo Zulu, it's a Navy thing) I just finished my 24x50 metal garage am insulating now following your other videos and this dust collector is definitely going in it next. Thanks for all the links I'm using them to order so materials will be ready when insulation is complete. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge.

Seen close to a hundred of these types of videos to research how to set up dust collection in my new shop. Your setup and video instruction are the best. I plan to use your method this summer. Thanks!

love the gun in the waistband while working hahaha, very patriotic indeed!

The $49 "Dust Stopper" from Home Despot and a 7+ gallon "6HP+" shop vac from Lowe's or Menard's or where ever you can get one under $100, does a better job in my tiny shop on the table saw or router table than a $3600 240 volt 3HP cyclone I was willed by a late friend. He had a semi-pro workshop and sold cedar chests in Branson, MO. His five-inch pipes just didn't work well with my 3" outlets. Moved TONS of air, but no suction.

Hi, great video. I'm in the process of doing this now. I went with a replacement for the Radeks Workshop filter instead of the Wynn. I hope that wasn't a mistake. Haven't decided on the Super Dust Deputy or building a Thien Sepatator. Thanks!

Great upgrade and great video and detail. I have been doing the same thing. I have everything except for the new large filter. Bloody things are pricey. Cheers

Love this upgrade, I just don’t have the ceiling height for it.

I am thinking of doing a 'Thien' type system when I noticed the air filter looked a lot like the air filter that goes in the Freightliner's and Kenworth's that I used to drive! I think they are about 1 micron, which is still 'trouble'... I could probably spray a can of Endust into the filter and make it 1/2 micron...hmmm... There are filters on Amaz... that are $60! For instance, Wix 46883. $61 in Nov '22. 14"x25"...what's not to love? Has a chrome cap on it you can cut out with a jig saw metal blade,,and stack 2 of 'em up! Hell's bell's,,,at that price...buy 3 and stack them up! 6' high of air filters. Actually I'm going to vent mine outside, low to the ground. But if I were in a basement, etc, I'd do my build with some Big Truck air filters. You think those engines don't have great filtering? Best thing to do if you have a dust collection system is wear a 3M P-100 mask while you are sanding, etc., vent outside, and hope the little particles don't impede your health if you think any/all of these filters will do 100% of the job. A nice build, and thanks for posting it.

I know this is a late comment since I'm just now finding this post, I have also seen where the Wen 3403-22 impeller also works the same as the Rikon impeller but is cheaper price wise. If you happen to one the lucky ones like me that can exhaust the discharge strait out a window or wall without a filter attached that is the BEST way to go since there is NO restriction. My Father-in-Law was able to do this and he said it was night and day between the difference. I'm gonna be doing mine the same way but I think I'm gonna add the Wen impeller. Just think about it this way and it was mentioned in the video, you can't suck dust and debris any faster then what you can push it out the other side, the least resistance at the end of the line the more you can pull at the suction side.

Hola! 🖐Wow! You really stepped up that system, it looks like you are going to give it a run for it's money. How has it performed now that you have had it in use for a while? Have you made any changes or modifications? Thanks for the video and all the info. Take care and have a good one, Adios!👊

Daddy needs a new pair of Shoes! Thanks for the video; just what I needed to see...got an old Jet Dust Dog and a GIGANTIC 35 gal can with "cyclone lid"...(CBA: not worth the floor space).

Love the video and your tshirt. Great to see a down to earth video using the stuff we have in the shop. Enjoy brother!

Just an observation (having trod this path myself). Everyone starts with a shop vac. Then they enhance the shop vac, usually with a separator (the slanted thing). Then they get an improved outlet filter. Then they get a small, roll-around dust collector. Then they get an improved outlet filter for the DC. If you are currently using a shop vac (enhanced or not), but not satisfied, I suggest you jump straight to the DC, and then call American Fabric Filter (or equal) to get a "1-micron rated outlet bag". You rob yourself of all the hours of fun playing with the hoses, but you get where you're going that much faster. Shop vacs do a decent job of keeping the floor from getting too deep, but they don't really do the job of a DC. [A shop vac has a higher pressure-to-flow ratio than most DC designs; a dust system benefits from a high flow at moderate pressure. A good outlet bag design {eg, make it bigger} won't penalize the fan with excess pressure loss.]

Great video, and a great project. What kind of life expectancy do you get out of the air filter? In my home shop I usually empty my central machinery’s bag once every couple weeks

I just changed impeller to a wen larger impeller, best 50$ I've spent. Easy to do and increased volume and suction. Highly recommend!

Watched many videos on this and related topics, and I keep returning to this one, to review some portion, to get some detail…It was really well done, nicely built, looks great. What switch was used? Could not find it in the video or description. Trying to find a similar switch for a HF 2HP dust collector (115 Volt 20 Amp).

I bought the same dust collector and plan on upgrading it in a similar way. I'm starting to think we're not all that smart though. The cyclone and upgraded filter is around $500 in upgrades alone. $800 would probably buy a pretty decent name brand dust collector...lol

@andrewr2650

5 ай бұрын

Yes, you could buy something decent for that price (1.5HP singe stage with a MERV 15 filter). That will cover any tool that uses up to a single 4" dust port no problem. Primary downside to the single stage is needing to clean out the filter every time you generate a bag of sawdust and its really messy. To get into a 2HP 2 stage collector with the filter like he built in this video your $1500-$2000, so you are cutting costs about in half, plus you get to say you built it yourself

You definitely have a subscriber! Currently building out my shop. Tied off walking around and over everything and not having space to work. My next step will be dusty connection so thank you for the amazing video! Quick question, no issues with suction with that kind of rise and drop?

Nice. Just finishing up my new shop and will be converting my HF collector to this system. How often does the filter need to be accessed (cleaned) and the 5 gal bucket emptied. I am thinking of putting the blower and filter in my shop attic to free up a bit of space.

Has anyone heard of grounding the pipes when using pvc to deal with static? I read it in one of these old dust collection books.

Really nice build! Looks great! And a terrific video! Which filter did you use?

Awesome vid. This is exactly what I need. What is the diameter of the canister (what diameter filter will fit)? Looks like you have the 35B222NANO - MERV 15 Nanofiber with removable end cap?

Thanks so much for this video! I am looking for the next phase of dust collection in my small shop to step up from my Ridgid shop vac lol. One question - with the separator and filter upgrade, do you know is this setup is in line with the other dust extractors like 3M or Festool? I know those are HEPA rated but they still only do one tool at a time and a setup like this would be more practical for multiple tools.

Great video! In the process of building a dust collector and pretty set on this setup. What is the total height required for this configuration. I have just under 9' and this looks really close to that?

I tried the plywood disk and bucket with screw top Gama seal lid under the filter but found that dust just piles up on the plywood shelf. I went back to the plastic bag because it allows the dust to fall straight through unobstructed. Ya, that annoying bag and metal band actually work better. You will find out as you have to deal with trying to reach up and around the plywood shelf to vac it up. Unless your incredibly ambidextrous.

Great set up, can I ask where u got the screw on lid drum?

Nice work. Thought about a clear window in your 5 gallon bucket? I'd think you'd want a quick, easy way to see that level.

@PatriotDIY

Considered it, but Not really necessary, the bucket fills FAR slower than the 50 gallon barrel! So if you just empty the bucket every time you empty the barrell, you'll never fill it up!

Thank you! I'm going to build this. 1 question, what is the purpose of the donut? Was it to hold the bucket in place?

Great video! Where did you buy that barrel?

Great video! One of the best solutions I've seen to take single stage and upgrade it simply and effectively. Wondering how much time and how expensive it is to do this. I am looking to add more dust collection and am wondering if the down time in the shop is worth it. Could it be cheaper to buy a plug n play system so there is no downtime in my shop?

I wonder if the bucket replacing the bag is actually necessary. In my experience, very little dust accumulates in ny similar bucket arrangement. Next time I may just leave it out and cover the ring with solid plywood.

Thanks for this. I'm in the process of copying your specific design. One thing I didn't see in the video is what you used under the bracket you built for the Dust Deputy. I'm guessing it's a second 4" flange, but thought I'd ask. Great take on the HF mod!

Quick question that I didn’t see in the comments (sorry if it was).. Does the tube from the cyclone to the barrel mean more of the dust will be sucked back into the filter as opposed to the cyclone being attached directly to the barrel? I’m genuinely asking. I want to use a tube between the two, but don’t want to clean out the filter often.

Well done and very clean looking installation. Question: after using it a while, how much material ends up in the 5 gallon bucket?

Great design, thanks for sharing. But it looks like you created a shelf between the metal round section and the plastic 5-gallon collection bucket? Does dust get stuck in that cavity directly above the small bucket? I wonder if you could add a small column connecting the bucket up to the round metal hole.

Like a funnel? Then that gets rid of the horizontal shelf to let dust settle on?

Nice! I'm doing something similar with a Craftsman dust collector my brother gave me. The only question I have is you used 5" flanges on the bottom of your Dust Deputy and the top of your 55-gal bucket, but a 4" flex hose. That hose will stretch over that, or is the rest of your flex hose 5" as well? It all looks the same size.
