Wish I saw this before I did mine.

Great video. I just built my shop and I'm using flexible hoses which are a pain in the butt. I'm looking for an inexpensive way to run my dust collection, and I think I've just found it. Your use of Gorilla tape to make the connections a bit more snug is awesome. Thanks for sharing.

This was super helpful, thank you! It would be great to see a video of how you did your cyclone!

Really nice vid with good work arounds to make odd parts fit, the only thing I would add is trim the tails off the wire ties, I have 2 friends that have had eye damage due to them one unfortunately lost a eye and the other had his eye saved but it was touch and go for ma while.

This is great, probably the most compact version I've seen without hacking apart the shop vac. Also easy to revert the vac back to stock should you need to!

Good morning , taking a chance since this video is a year old. I just bought a second craftsman vacuum identical to yours and found your video trying to search for the model number. It is worn out on my label. If your is still legible , could you please post it here ? Thank you 🙏

Unless you live in a place like a desert that has long stretches of very low humidity, you aren't going to blow anything up with pvc. The copper tape is worth doing because it's cheap and easy, but all things considered people shouldn't worry about it too much. Just be careful if you are cutting metal in the same space as wood. Don't use your collector for metal for obvious reasons.

I've developed a few universal laws working in IT for over 20 years. One of them is "There is never any intermediate documentation". Thanks for bucking the trend.

1 Use 6" pipe. More than 2 times the air flow. 2 Dump your exhaust outside without a filter. Twice the airflow as with a filter.

Hi! 🤓👍

Outstanding video. I have learned so much and it has reduced the confusion greatly. Thank you! Uli

Just found your channel and am totally impressed! I really hope you come back with more videos!

"You can't ground an insulator (like PVC)" so it's pointless (i.e. stupid) to do it - Rod Cole, MIT Lincoln Laboratory.

Thank you for confirming what I was thinking. "There's no need for a separate cyclone set up, when you can combine them". And there's no need to have a multi-gallon barrel just to house the vacuum motor, when a simple bucket created the link. One question; is there a likelihood that the bucket would collapse from the vacuum suction?

You are defeating the purpose of the dust topper. It is designed to dump waste/dust/sawdust etc into a bucket to save on filter waste. Besides which, Hepa filters cost a lot.

No need to hunt for fittings with male connectors or “street fittings.” Because you’re using the inner diameter just add some 4” pipe into the female end then cut the pipe down flush with the end of the fitting. That will shrink the opening and give you the same fit when a street version is not available. 👍

Some on suggest ed filling the dust collector with water as a water filter any ideas please thank you!

this will save you so much time qand money. i'm going to be redoing my system soon...first time i ever bookmarked a youtube video!

Hi, Thanks for the video. I bought 100' of 6" SDR 32.5 and it's wider than the SDR 35. Where can I get fittings for the SDR 32.5? Is there a way to used the SDR 35 fittings with the SDR 32.5 pipe? I bought a lot of thew SDR 35 fittings and I can't seem to find any reasonably priced SDR 32.5 fittings...

Great video!

All your blast gates were upside down, they are designed to suck that plate and seal it off when closed, that is why it was rattling and not sealing. Otherwise I enjoyed the video and got a lot of good info out of it

unique !

Simple, concise and informative, but I would like to point out that you need to make sure “which” pvc pipe you are using. From what I can tell, you are using PVC DWV pipe, known as “drain waste vent”, which is much lighter and cheaper than schedule 40 pipe. It also requires elbows and connections that are specifically made for it.

Very cool and well thought out!

Good job dude. Good ideas and good video. (Subscribed!)

Excellent build! BTW, do you like bikes??

Do any shop vacuums already have these built in? It would make sense to start doing this.

Turn your blast gates upside down from what you have, the thumb screw will hold the plate tight to the gate

Thank you, saved me a ton of research, I'll definitely be using most of your great ideas, keep up the good work.

Well thought out

I just entered the world of dust collection fittings that don't fit. This is a great video showing how to get around it. Thanks!

Excellent! Very helpful.

Great video! I've been weighing a new dust collection setup for my small shop as well, and I really appreciate the information.

First time viewer. Good video.

What about connecting to smaller tools with small ports. My miter saw and sander have a small port more suited for a 38mm shop vac, but why by an extra vac when I have a powerful 100mm dust extractor. So I'll likely connect and split a 38mm hose from my 100mm pipe. The issue is some tools are too small to have 100mm pipe going to it but too big for a 38mm hose. Such as I either have a 100mm pipe going to 50mm table saw or a 38mm hose going to a 50mm table saw. 100mm down to 50mm would be better but a table saw is under a bench so fixed 100mm pipe is a hassle. You cant have table saw against a wall because you need to out feed. So much hassle with all the different sizes.

This is great! Now I just have to figure out how to DIY my own cyclone inside my shop vac, its a big old 60L Craftsman. Thanks for the inspiration!

Not to be a troll but this is stupid. I see the advantage of the three filters. But the dustopper inside is useless. It doesn’t increase the power of the vacuum. It is just used to collect most of the debris into a separate container keeping your filters cleaner longer.

Are you using sewer and drain pvc or dwv

Hmmm... very interesting design.

soapy water for the friction fits.. got it.

I like the dust gates!~

Thank you for sharing this info. Dust collection hose fittings seem straightforward but the lack of uniformity leads to so many return trips. Everything is slightly off - not enough to spot, just enough to not fit.

Are you ok? I see you haven’t posted in a year. ???

I’ve finally copied your idea w my shop vac. Thanks for the inspiration!!! You rock!

Cleanest use and explanation of a PVC setup I've come across on UA-cam. Thank you for sharing.

Love my Steadyracks. I started buying them over 10 years ago to store 4 bikes, staggered vertically, on a very short wall. Now I store 6 bikes on a short wall in my garage.

Hi this is a great video. I would like to no do u have an email I have a system that Is driving me nuts could do to pick your brains about few things. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

Nice vid. Very helpful.

Creative ingenuity in all its glory! Nicely done!!!!

I am wondering which shop-vac manufacturer will be first to build this entire thing in the vacuum, and avoid the fiddling. Probably lagging because they are making money hand over fist selling filters and bags...
