It does cut the noise a good bit. Like the way you made your cart. I would like to do something similar but my shopvac is a big craftsman and would be hard to put it in a box unfortuently. Also like your drill press and bandsaw carts.
Place some old carpet strips inside the cabinet and directly aligned with the exit port. Place a series of baffles between the exit port and bottom cabinet opening. these should cut your noise levels even more. I am now working on my shop and just placed a central vacuum. dealing with same challenge....need a Db reader. Love your cabinet work and it really shows you care about your equipment.
Good job on the build. Much better than before the noise reduction is awesome. I put my dust deputy and shop vac up by the front of the garage entry and use a hose reel (fast cap plywood reel) with 25 foot of pool hose on it I would like to reduce the noise and am thinking of a enclosure much like yours with the baffle. The washer idea will disapate the static charge. Yet if the metal switch box is grounded it would work even better. I found the static charge to build up on mainly on long runs of plastic and after long runs of the larger hp vacs. Not as much on the smaller shop vacs. I don't have mine grounded.
Well I built one today. Used a CNC to make a 23" by 23" by 23" cube with 2" box joints using quarter inch plywood. I lined that with 1' blue 4x8 foam board. I then made a 4.5" by 23" by 23" baffle box that will mount on top of this cube. The heat from the shop vac and the expelled air will travel through this baffle to the rear of the vac and blowout to the wall. I used 4" strips of quarter inch plywood inside the baffle box and split the expelled air down two separate zig zag shoots that were 3.5" by 4" tall and about 8 foot long of maze on each one. It's doing a good job and dropped the noise level considerably. The heat is rising and being expelled out the top through the baffle. Posting a youtube video on it as we speak. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
The reason that your shop vac sounds like that is because the motor fan is dirty. You have to take it apart to clean it. I would say it has probably been used without a filter. You allways need a dry filter for dust ect and a wet filter for water
LOL bro that’s hilarious. This video is 9 years old, at which time that shop vac was 4 years old. It’s STILL running like an absolute champ. But I appreciate the input!
I know this video is old but how in the heck did you empty that thing? Looks all glued together. And you must need a step stool to get high enough to get the leverage to separate those two pails?
+Allan Greendale You loosen and remove the connection between the shop vac's intake and the vertical pipe going up to the cyclone's output, then you simply pull the shop vac out of the cabinet and unplug it. Probably takes 90 seconds from the time you locate a screwdriver.
Nice cart but that is not how grounding works fwiw. You can drive a copper rod into the ground 6 feet and still not have a good ground, that's why they are required to be 8 foot long. A zinc plated washer touching a concrete floor is providing almost zero grounding benefit.
It's not really a ground but a static dissipater. The saw dust traveling through the plastic can create static buildup, which would normally travel through the shop vac housing and wheels to the floor to eliminate the buildup. Since his shop vac is in a wood cabinet, he needs a continuous path for the static to travel back to the floor.
Gary Karczewski I'm sure it does. But shop vac is lower volume, higher speed, so I've never felt it was lacking in performance, even with all of the 90-degree bends.
I think the severity of bends makes more difference in low speed, high volume systems like traditional dust collectors. At least I hope so, or I wasted time and money trying to eliminate sharp bends when installing my shop DC system.
Satan intervenes at 00:19. Awesome.
Zerostar369 Classic!
haha That was funny, I had to go back and listen.
I was scared for a second
LMAO! 😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣

Interesting, but would have been much more so with some pictures of the baffle as that seemed to be the primary point.

What is . Sheer from did you get the 90 coupler for vac intake to vertical PVC?
good job
Hi... how do you like the WEN? Are they good product?
Did the remote come with your shop vac?
Nice build, Russ. What, exactly, is the 90° fitting between the PVC and the shop vac? I need one just like that for 2" PVC. Thanks!
kinoav8r im wondering same thing

I have a QSP so mine is pretty quiet
wow great idea but the reason why its so loud is the bearings in the motor are bad

YukonGoatSlayer Nope, it’s really easy.

Mr. Krabs THEYRE ALL ON CASTERS!
bahahahaha
@@thenicotennis
LOL!
That is not a good ground. Not even for static. Also, line the box with carpet to really kill the noise level.
Looking for the baffle plans. Important. Thanks.
I think he did this: ua-cam.com/video/NKkbq1fcKz4/v-deo.html
where are the baffle pics?
Don't you afraid of things getting sucked into from the floor when the way for the air in is so low?
How difficult is it to pull the shop vac out?
+Allan Greendale You loosen and remove the connection between the shop vac's intake and the vertical pipe going up to the cyclone's output, then you simply pull the shop vac out of the cabinet and unplug it. Probably takes 90 seconds from the time you locate a screwdriver.
doesn't this present overheating problems?
Are there any plans for this cabinet available?
How is the baffle made bro?
I think he did this: ua-cam.com/video/NKkbq1fcKz4/v-deo.html
what size holes did you purchase and where did you purchase them?
Last I checked, you can't buy holes. You can buy things that make holes, but that's a big list.
where do you find the pictures of the baffle
I think he did this: ua-cam.com/video/NKkbq1fcKz4/v-deo.html
Nice cart but that is not how grounding works fwiw. You can drive a copper rod into the ground 6 feet and still not have a good ground, that's why they are required to be 8 foot long. A zinc plated washer touching a concrete floor is providing almost zero grounding benefit.
I hate to be the one to break this to you, but dangling a washer on the floor is not an electrical ground.
Ya, he has the electrical conduit box right there, with a real ground. Should take a few second to hook up to that and have it truly grounded.
it is a sufficient ground to eliminate static electricity.
That floor is painted, no "ground" contact... as said better to use the equipment ground...
It's not really a ground but a static dissipater. The saw dust traveling through the plastic can create static buildup, which would normally travel through the shop vac housing and wheels to the floor to eliminate the buildup.

Does the 90 degree fittings reduce your vacuum efficiency?
Gary Karczewski I'm sure it does. But shop vac is lower volume, higher speed, so I've never felt it was lacking in performance, even with all of the 90-degree bends.
Ok that is what matters.
Russ Haynes good point
I think the severity of bends makes more difference in low speed, high volume systems like traditional dust collectors. At least I hope so, or I wasted time and money trying to eliminate sharp bends when installing my shop DC system.
Very interesting, but I would like to see that baffle.
I did it myself with the Woodglut plans. I think this is the best way to find out how to build it.
