Using the magnets to simultaneously position and pull the sealing faces against each other is really clever. I would only say that you would want the magnets to be ever so slightly recessed below the surface to minimize suction leaks at the sliding joint. With so many half-baked ideas on DIY channels, it's nice to see something that someone actually well thought out and made.
Yeh it's good ay I've seen a couple people doing it and I was like damn this completely fixes why I hated using epoxy glue. Hopefully I remember it next time I need it
Well, you beat me to this idea fellow UA-camr! I thought about it for three days and came up with this idea to avoid buying the expensive gates then searched UA-cam to see if this idea was out there. And there you are. I think two others as well. Your best contribution to the concept is the magnets! Love it. This is my next shop project. Thanks for proving the concept for me 😎
Excellent idea! For added aesthetic I would have painted different coloured bands on each hose, and then painted each port with the matching colour. So even someone unfamiliar with your workshop could go "green hose, green port, easy!"
Looked at a handful of these and this seems like the best design. The ones that open up into a larger section with plexiglass look cool, but they actually cause turbulence and a loss in suction because the airflow stream is interrupted/ isn't consistent. Whereas, in this one, there's almost no interruption because you're switching the hose over directly to line up with another hose. I'll be taking a stba at this one soon! thanks!
This is a great idea and easy to build. I had an extensive dust collection system before we moved, and now I don't have room in my one car garage for a big unit. This will definitely fit in my small shop with a couple of vacs and separators.
This feels like one of those designs so good it seems like it would be obvious, but was probably much harder to come up with and design than people realize. Well done and thank you for making a video about it! I love how easy it would be to move tools around in the future since they're on flexible hoses that could detach. Modularity is great in any shop! :)
Yes, except it's already solved by IC engine exhaust headers and steam engine blast pipes. If he'd built permanent junctions, no switching would be necessary.
@@creamwobblyexcept the shop vac isn’t strong enough to collect from multiple machines simultaneously. The whole point of this is to concentrate the suction on a single machine
I created very similar adapters with my 3d printer. A couple of times i designed them going in the wrong direction =) In the end though, very good results! Friction fit on pvc pipes using a minor angle worked great. Regarding your design here... it looks great and i will certainly copy it! Right now i have a system with one input and then several hoses hanging from the ceiling going to it from the machines. Magnets.. sliding thing ... brilliant! Well done!
This is simple and briliant idea. I couldnt fine 50mm blast gates in local shops but I found this and I will use it, thank you. Just a thought about air restrictions. You are using too much hoses. If you rather use pipes and just a little of hoses it would be much better for air flow. Tomáš
thanks for brilliant idea, some time ago i tried to design my own vacuum splitter but my idea was much way difficult . now i made new splitter with 3d printer
That is deffo about the best solution I have seen. SO EASY! I think that smooth piping is about the only thing I can think of to improve the setup. Since all piping to each tool is actually fixed, it would be better to have fixed piping to the dust separator. The less flex-tubing the better I would think. I will use this idea in my upcoming workshop revamp for sure. Thamk you.
Great solution & design~! I'll definitely be building one of these for my workstation that holds my spindle sander, scroll saw, Kreg jig, & mortiser. Thanks~!
I love this. I was trying to think about a solution for using my Festool Midi and didn’t want to have to buy a bunch of custom hoses. This seems like the perfect solution. Thanks for sharing.
Gracias por enseñarnos a aprender y regalarnos de su valioso tiempo maestro de Aguascalientes México Fransisco Gamez un abrazo muy fuerte y saludos cordiales bendiciones para usted y toda su familia 😊👍👍👍👍👍 👍👍👍👍 es usted genial
I just finished building a simple cyclone dust separator, it works well, now how do I connect it to all my devices? I had just purchased a few pipe fittings, but this is far better and more elegant solution. Very impressed.
Excelente proyecto muy bien desarrollado y mejor ejecutado , un súper colector de aspiración imantado , gracias por compartir tanta creatividad , un saludo cordial y por supuesto un gran like desde Narón , Galicia (España) 🤓 😜
Good job! Пара советов. Если не планируете перемещать инструменты, к которым подключено пылеотведение, соберите воздуховоды из жёсткой канализционной (серой) трубы - внутренняя поверхность этой трубы гладкая, сопротивление потоку воздуха меньше, а значит сэкономленных денег больше. Не видел изготовление Вами циклона, но думаю будет лучше заказать готовый с алиэкспресс. Лучше было бы развернуть вниз (прикрепить вертикально) изготовленную приспособу, чтоб не задевать коленями шланг. Успехов в труде, берегите себя! 👋
This is great. I've been thinking of making an Arduino-controlled system which detects which power tool is being used and automatically switches to the correct vacuum port.
Very nice simple idea, I will be able to make some small changes but it will work great and saves me buying a bunch of blast gates and is much simpler.- thanks
Thanks I can see why you have so many subscribers !! KISS love the idea and its something I think I will introduce in to my small house workshop, Thanks
This is a super idea, especially for a small workshop, which I have. Will definitely be making one of these. Thank you for sharing a very well-made video.
Cool idea! I like the magnets, overall a good approach. I think another approach you could make, would be something similar to whole house vacuum cleaner systems, where only the one vent open has a direct line. Instead here you could just, use ball valves or something, at each machine, that way you don't have to remember which hole goes to which tool, and can easily be added onto, just everything connected to one main collector line.
Excellent plan . . . one gate to rule them all! What I like best is there is always an open gate. The biggest risk to a dust system is blockage in the system that could cause your dust collector bin to collapse, and which could easily happen if you fail to open a gate. Have you released plans or measured drawings? I think you would sell one or two. [I will probably use a template to make sure the stationary and sliding magnets line up.]
For some reason I would probably add a felt surface (like those nice sticky sheets you get as "felt furniture gliders") to both make it easier to slide and seal off the air gaps to improve the vacuum suction.
This is one of the best ideas I have seen for dust collection from multiple tools, definitely gonna be one of my next projects when I get moved into my permanent workshop.
Great idea and something I will definitely be incorporating into my workshop. 👏👏👏 Very well made video and very easy to follow. Thanks for uploading this helpful video. 👍
What a great build, you made it look great too. Thanks for sharing. Love the magnetic selector. Have you had problems with it not lining up with each slot correctly? I was thinking it may be nice to have reference lines on the sliding plate and another above (or below) each hole just something to quickly glance at. Idk, may be a ridiculous suggestion lol. But saving and subscribing, hope it’s served you well, I’m sure it has.👍

your use of tape as an epoxy mixing surface is genius. it’s disposable and you don’t have to worry about it blowing away
Where have you been? This has been done for decades. Nothing new.

Just finished it and ya it’s awesome! Totally should have done this two years ago but I did not have all the tools then. My video coming out soon!
These have been in shops for decades lol
@@alexcoronaYou missed the essential part!
What an excellent design and you won’t experience suction loss from bends or blind corners in a box. Thanks for sharing your idea.

Oh, also he could run multiple tools simultaneously.

I've seen a few of these but I like the idea of using magnets. That way you don't have to pull out a pin or anything. Brilliant. Thank you.
Thank you! This is exactly what I needed. This beats using blast gates because the flow restriction should be less.
This is a very elegant solution to the tool switching problem. Nice.
I don't even have a workshop, but if I ever do, I'm definitely stealing this idea. Absolutely brilliant in its simplicity!

Absolutely amazing! The only thing I didn’t like is that I didn’t think of it myself years ago. I think I will make that this weekend! Well done!!!!!

Thanks for the video! I was looking for a dust collection management system for my shop and I ended up going with a larger version of this.
This is so great! Thanks for sharing I never would have thought I'd be able to do something like that myself

This is a super idea, especially for a small workshop, which I have. Will definitely be making one of these. Thank you for sharing a very well-made video.
That's a great idea, I'll have to make one too! Thanks for sharing! 👍
A piece of felt glued to the slider part might help it to seal the vacuum better?
Excellent video. Clear instructions and very easy to understand. Thank you
This is amazing, going to do the same at some point. thank you.
Truly a useful build. I'm definitely going to make some of these. Thank you for sharing this.
