I was going to say the exact same thing that Paul just said below. I love seeing you and your wife working together like you did, making your workshop a better shop, but together... It's wonderful to see. And you both did an awesome job. Congratz!

Awesome book that gives you step-by-step photos kzread.infoUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt and directions to make every day project. I can see myself making a few of these projects and giving them as housewarming and holiday gifts!

Very helpful and applicable to my shop - thanks. Like the way you and your wife work together - great example.

Nice job on the dust system that is how I have mine somewhat. Love to also see you guys as a couple working on it. Thats Special !!!

Great setup! My shop is

Looks awesome... I did something similar but I grounded all the PVC to keep the static down. Also I found those plastics blast gates to be a pain. Changed to the metal self cleaning, much better!!

What a coincidence that this popped up randomly on my feed today. I have been considering a Dustrite 1250 machine for my 400 square foot shop. This gives me ideas. Thanks!

I really like your set up. Very efficient. Your workshop is really boss. I can only imagine that some really awesome projects are made there. Great video.

I love that you can both work together on projects like this together. Wholesome AF.

Looks nice but would like to see it in action and how well it works!

Great looking workspace! Thank you for posting

Super nice setup, and I like the black PVC pipe!

This looks so sharp! It's also nice how you were able to keep it out of the way.

So neatly put together! Thanks for the video

Having a wife that is as interested in building as you are is awesome!

Great video and awesome looking shop. Even though this video is a couple years old, I still wanted to mention this to you. Grounding the PVC piping to the blower is something that you should look into (lots of videos on the subject). It involves running small screws at around 24" intervals through the PVC wall that bottom out with about 1/8" sticking out inside the pipe. You then attach a ground wire by wrapping it around the head of the screw that is then terminated on a housing screw on the blower. This will keep static from building up inside the plastic pipe which could cause a really bad fire if you have enough fine dust built up in the pipe. The flex tubing should be made with a spiral metal support wire that can be used to ground it as well. You may already know all this, but I wanted to throw it out there just in case. Happy woodworking and stay safe.

The shop looks great. Thanks for the video.

Looks good, but you should put your blast gates at the Wye. Otherwise when you aren't using the table saw, you still have 30-ish feet of suction going to that blast gate.

I’m no scientist, but if the gate is closed and air is not being lost why would it matter? Maybe residual chips gathering down the line a bit, but that would be cleared once that blast gate opens.

I love the garage and dream to have a smaller version of it someday. Any chance you could publish a walkthrough video of the completed project?

I’m new to Woodworking. I have the Dust Right Little Brother the 650. No dust separator. I have a Dewalt Job site saw and a Ryobi Miter saw. I love the PVC pipe idea. Trying to figure out a plan similar to yours for my setup. My plan is to build a Miter saw station and then put my table saw on a mobile cart that slides underneath the station. Trying to figure out the best way to plum everything in is the challenge. Lol 😂

I always like well organised system like yours. Just few things to improve. Use the real cyclone (like Oneida Super Dust Deputy) what captures way more fine dust than the bucket system used now. Your filter stays way longer clean. Don't use that hose reel with high airflow/low pressure system. System you have needs minimum at 4" diameter pipe. Hose reel will suffokate your dust collector. It works best with the shop vac. I hope you didn't mind my tips :)

Thanks for the tips! I did end up switching the hose to a shop vac after all and it works great.

Nice setup.

Hi again, and again congratz to you two for doing such a great job together! Ok, first let me say your video gave me a lot to think about. But I have a couple of questions that I hope you can answer. One is ask about the piping! PVC vs the flexible hoses. Now I know that the ridges of the flexhose affect the pressurized suction. But let's just say, I have a very small shop "a bedroom turned into a shop, small shop to be exact", and I have a fair amount of flexible hose, and I want to build my dust collection system. It Would be for about 6 tools, or 6 hoses, 4 tools, and 2 loose hoses for hand tools and clean up. So meaning 6 Blast-Gates. Now here's the first question. If I would cut the flexible hoses, so they would reach each separate connector, to each Y connector "precisely" fairly tight, no bending of the hoses. They would fit pretty much to the exact length. Could it do as good OR close to as good as the PVC "as a some-what substitute" OR even as tight as possible the ridges would still cause a certain amount of loss of suction? And 2nd. My Shop-Vac is a 2 1/2" hose 6.5HP. Now, Should I use 2 1/2" PVC piping all around? Or should I use a widener and use 4" pipping? Should I get better suction with the 4" or it would be the exact same with the 2 1/2"? Please give me your professional opinion! I have 1 shot, so I need to do this right. Thanks for your time and great video. Thumbs Up!

That's the best looking bad system I ever saw... Adding up to what other skilled people had already brought up in the comments below regarding power, bendings and particle size, I want to point out that the cyclone outlet should be centered to suck clean air and that gluing the pipes gives you no chance for inspection.

Great work my man!!!

I have the same model of dust collector and chip separator. I just a metal 31 gallon trash can instead, with a flat plywood top. I have only tested a couple of times, for shop cleanup. A good bit more of the saw dust make it through to the bag than I expected. I only have a 20’ flexible hose connected, and swept up the sawdust that had covered the floor after being swept up. How much dust has made it through to the plastic bag on your setup. Just a note, they recommend cross member 2x4’s when ousting on a finished wall. great video, thanks. It validated what I am doing in my dust collection setup. Validation is good.

Nice shop

With all that attention to detail you REALLY need to get rid of that 30 micron bag, even with a 5 micron bag the walls near my dust collector would be coated in the really fine dust that blows right back out through the bag and into the air. Just upgraded to a cyclone separator and HEPA filter for long term health. Also look into grounding the pvc pipe if you didn't do so. Fantastic looking shop!

Nice. I'm going with a Grizzly G0944 since it provides 1250 CFM and a larger 1-micron canister (not the standard 5-micron bag), yet costs about half that of the Rockler. I wish Rockler made a 6" version of the separator kit for a user built garbage can (1:34). I can't seem to find anyone else that supplies one either and may have to rig one with PVC pipe fittings. At the head end next to the separator I want a chip collector like the one you show, but with 6" connections. I plan to use a straight piece of 6" schedule 40 as my main run to two work areas, breaking them out with the included dual 4" to 6" y-adapter and a pair of blast gates, then over to the machines with two 4" flex hoses that I can move to each device.

nice setup bro.

I couldn’t get enough suction through my hose reel even after I tried connecting it direct to the collector so I ended up running it to a shop vac sitting next to it. I had a remote already from a smaller dust collector so I just use two remotes depending on what I’m using. Going to the shop vac more than doubled the suction on the hose reel. Good looking shop!

I ended up doing the same. I think the low velocity high volume of the dust collector just isn't enough and the high velocity shop vac does work better.

Im interested in how well the trash can cyclone worked.

Do you have plans for your rolling work table in the middle of your shop? I like all the nooks and crannies in that

I would put the motor and dust collection outside.... nice and quiet and tidy outside.

Thanks for this. What kind of PVC is best to connect to the Dust Right hose? Plain end, or the sewer drain end pipe (that is flared out a bit at the end)? Thanks for your help.

Curious to know how that can has held up since this video was made.

Can I hire you to come to Georgia and install this for me?? Lol, but seriously....

Incredible project, I love all your videos. One question, did you do grounding for the dust collection ducts? since the static generated by the dust can cause an unwanted fire.

Well planned wood shop.How much did the dust collection system cost ? Is the four inch piping really required .I think three inch pipes could result in a more efficient system because of the size of your shop. Or am I missing something ?

Nice video and clean looking install! What kind of engineering did you study?? New sub here.

How much do you estimate using the weatherstripping in the trash can and around the actual bag is helping with limiting loss of suction? I have a 650cfm system and it feels like my shop vac has more gusto in removing dust to either my router or tablesaw. I did a similar setup as you but to mainly those 2 tools but I did not use weather stripping to get a better seal. I imagine my tool is giving me less than 100cfm. Does the weather stripping improve suction that much?

Very nice wood shop. I have the same dust collector. I was wondering how strong of a flow you are getting with the 2.5 hose on the reel. For me when I go from 4 in to 2.5 the air flow is super minimal. Any ideas to why??

@rocker2333

2 жыл бұрын

It’s a bottle neck in your system. I would try to keep the 4 inch as far as you can go until you get to your tool where you would have to reduce down to connect to it if you have to

Glad all this equipment was sponsored and you didn't actually waste money on it because that set up is for show purposes only. For a shop that size, a nominal 1250 cfm unit is way underpowered. Then cripple it further with all those tight 90° elbows and by the time it makes it to the separator, it's probably down to well under 300 cfm which is good for only stirring the dust around the shop which is exactly what will happen when it all gets blown back out through a bag rated for 30 microns (5 microns would be the absolute upper limit to consider if you're serious about protecting your lungs; 1 micron is the goal you should be striving for.) Looks great on video, but I wouldn't depend on it for actual dust control.

Whaaat… Are you talking about my guy… In what world would a 90 degree bend factor into a 25.3 percent loss.. accounting that he has three installed and you are assuming he has a 76 percent loss in cfm by the time it reaches the system. That’s insane. At most he loses 3-5 percent for every bend and wye. 7-10 percent loss for every 25ft in the duct system. At the most he loses 15-20 percent. I’ll agree with the bag though… What’s the point of a 30 micron bag? Swap it for a filter and you’ll be alright. Also… Just always wear a face piece and you basically don’t have to really worry about the minor technicalities. If you’re a woodworker that doesn’t wear a face piece.. well, don’t ever complain about lung issues in the future. It’s an inexpensive lifesaver that really doesn’t get in the way. My 2 cents!!!!

Nice work, but did you change out that 30micron bag for a 1micron bag

how has the spray paint on pvc held up? i am wanting to paint the pipe im going to install as well. was a special spray paint used?

What are the dimensions of the reel when assembled? How far does it jut from the wall and how far across does it span? I want to make sure the area I want to put it would work.

So the big dust bag on the fan discharge, could that potentially be ducted out through a hole in the building?

Did the 4” pvc connect to the rockler parts?

the flexi hose isnt too good for dust collection but other than that it looks good

Hey! Just curious, how well does that garbage can cyclone work? I'm thinking it's a pretty good alternative to buying the 4" plastic cyclones that are out there.

Don't waste your time with it.

You should put a Hepa Cannister filter instead of that bag, you’ll be surprised to see there will be no dust coming out of The dust collector and also the suction power of the dust collector will improve by at least six times more than using the bag filter

I used the same type kit on a 20 gallon trash can and most of the chips and dust still to into the bag. Any ideas?

Very nice set up. I bought the Dust Right 750 mobile dust collector for my small shop. Like you, I chose it for all the compatible components, especially the Quick Change connector. Have you had a chance to measure the air flow anywhere? I would be curious to know how much of a drop you get after the dust separator and at the ends of your long PVC runs. Starting at 1250 cfm, I'm sure you're getting adequate airflow at your tools, I'm just curious how much of an effect the trash can separator had. I bought an anemometer off of Amazon for $35 and used it to test my shop vac set up and then my new Dust Right set up. While I don't exactly get 750 cfm at the inlet of the dust collector, I get sufficient air flow at my table saw (the Ridgid R4512, like yours), which is a far cry from what I was getting with my shop vac and Dustopper set up. I'd like to add a separator, but I'm afraid it my degrade my airflow too much, as I'm starting out at a lower rating than your system, hence my curiosity about your system.

@12982blackjack

I have 2 of the 1hp DC's, one a Grizzly and a Harbor Freight, I believe they're both rated at 650 cfm. Originally I had the Dust Right separators like he showed in this video attached to each one and they killed the air flow. Within the past few months I found 2 of the Oneida Super Dust Deputy's on marketplace for cheap and bought them. There's a night and day difference on the suck that I have on my system now. I don't have a meter to test it, but I think Caleb from You Can Make This Too measured them and found a difference as well. Just within the past week I bought one of the canister filters from Rockler to put on my main DC and was pleased with even more suck. If you're concerned about the airflow get the Super Dust Deputy and a canister filter, you'll have more power and better filtration. The bags these come with stock are pretty awful, letting all the bad stuff through.

@@12982blackjack I recall the test Caleb did. Real numbers are so much better than "I think..." A cannister filter comes standard on the Dust Right 750, so I got that part covered. The main benefits of the Dust Right 750 are that it's mobile and has a smaller footprint when compared to any other DC on a mobile base. Adding a separator of any type would kill both features. Since I don't have a jointer or a planer, dust separation is not a huge priority at the moment. Good to know your experiences though.

How loud is it? can you do a reading with a decibel meter?

How wide is the wall mount bracket?

Did you have to ground everything for static?

Just a quick question...how many square feet is your shop? Great video...!!

How do you handle for static charge in the PVC pipe? You also had a Y adapter to the left of the dust collector. One slot was open. Is it open to just suck shop air?

how much suction do you get on the hose reel...my dust collector gives me shit suction for mine with a 30ft hose...i ended up having to hook shopvac up to it

What is the overall size of your workshop?

What are your thoughts about this?: I have used vacuums that were made to blow air into them and that would create a suction on the inlet. Upon considering this, I was thinking a little about dust collection systems. I have been wondering if it is possible to run the dust collector exhaust into the system so that it basically creates a “closed loop” and does not require a filter. Any thoughts?

You would eliminate the vacuum, where you want it. The air would just run in circles through the blower and not suck any new air, through the vacuum tubes.

To everyone: I just installed my dust right 1250, I’m running about 30ft of 4” expandable hose, D.R. separator. At the end of my run there is little suction. Why?

If you go with the Dustright vac get the one micron canister that goes with it. Does a great job collecting the smaller particles. The bag leaks dust like a pitchers rosin bag.

Do the trash can walls get sucked in? Trash can would seem to be not ridged enough

looking to do similar, I see this video was about 3 years ago. Any changes or mods you've made? Have you been happy with it?

That trash can seems very weak. Does it want to implode from the vacuum? If it does you can cut a circle out of plywood that is the diameter of the inside. Place it inside but make sure and drill lots of holes in it to allow the dust to settle.

You would get away better airflow with 2x45⁰ corners instead of 1 90⁰ corner

what's the CFM on this?

does your trash can collapse when using your system? The guys at a local woodshed indicated that the trash can will collapse. Just trying to look at all my options.

@MrJohnnyboyrebel

It probably does collapse. I used the very same Brute can with a standard Dust Deputy connected to a 16 gallon shop vacuum, and right away the suction made the can collapse. The trick to overcoming the collapse is to fabricate external rings the fit the diameter of the can in a couple of places, or change to a more rigid can (one of those blue plastic cans) because the Brute plastic is too flexible.

There isn't much explanation here, just description. E.g., why use 4" PVC vs. 3"? 4" = higher volume, but lower speed, so there's a trade-off, but no explanation of your decision.
