      Absolutely brilliantly simple, the only thing you might add could be to drop a large neodymium magnet in a bag to catch any metal screws or nails (having a small magnet deflection screen is also useful when grinding/cutting/drilling metal, helps catch metal fillings). Do you think if you had a small amount of water in the bottom it would help when vacuuming fine mobile debris like cement dust? Thanks for sharing

    Currently using this saw ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx84IcU5pbZd1Qrz8u4-YRLmJax7kdRi7B to help replace some rotted wood around my house. For rough cutting through good, solid wood (not just the crumbly rotted parts), the saw is performing very well. Again, these types of saws are for rough cutting because the blade kerf is somewhat wide and the reciprocating action is rather violent and causes the blade to jump around a bit, even when the saw is tightly held and controlled. But if you need to quickly cut out pieces of wood or make clean cuts of pvc pipe (use a guide or jig to ensure straight cuts of pvc), then this saw performs very well. Highly recommend it.

    I literally had a dream last night about building a cyclone separator, and I wake up to this video. I was considering its use to collect soot (lampblack) from the smoke of burning pine fatwood. I wonder how well it would work for those super light particles.

    • @Advoko
      @Advoko  4 роки тому +2

      Probably, not too great. I have read a cyclone separator can trap 50-99% of really small particles.

      @NoctuaStrigiformes 4 роки тому +5

      Use a rubber band to cover the output of the separator with a surgical mask, dust mask or similar. It might cut down on the amount of dust getting to the filter. A foam sponge might also help. A hepa (?) filter used as a pre-filter might also prove beneficial. Please post the results of your experiments.

    • @tommysedin
      @tommysedin 4 роки тому +2

      Just a thought from someone with little practical experience of cyclone separators; Probably the soot is so light it'll not sink into the bucket but instead will go almost directly from intake to outlet. Maybe forcing the soot to take a longer path inside the cyclone would improve collection?
      Since you wouldn't be as restricted in terms of capacity, I'm thinking something as simple as extending a pipe from the outlet down towards the bottom of the bucket. If that adds too much resistance to airflow, maybe try drilling an outlet-sized hole in the bottom of a second, smaller bucket and mounting it to the outlet on the inside of the cyclone bucket's lid?

  • @PainfulRib
    @PainfulRib 4 роки тому +2

    Made one within in two minutes! Made a bit of a high pitched whirring sound but that was due to a kink in the pipe from vacuum to bucket outlet. Works like a charm, I may even start using my lathe again! Many thanks Advoko, very concise and professional.

    Advoko, thank you for this. I have allergies and sensitivities and have to clean and wash my vacuum after each use. Building this set-up will make cleaning and washing the vacuum so much easier and faster even with the added cyclonic can. And, yes, I have to wash out the filter and hose, too. Most people do not realise that less crap in the vacuum bag blows less contaminated air back into the room via the vacuum's exhaust. Less crap in the bag also reduces the time the filter takes to get clogged. So all in all, less cleaning needed. Just dump the can and wash up what dust is left in the can, vacuum, vacuum bag, filter and hoses. The time saver is not having to pick out clumps of crap stuck in the screen of the bag. All this and no where near the price of those cyclonic vacuums on the market.

You should get into gardening Hydroponics , its really simple and you can raise great food year round in a geothermal and wood heated green house. Thanks again.

    I have done this vary thing. Worked great. Even his vacuum looks exactly like mine. With this system you can find any used vacuum that has suction and use it. I use these for sanders and a larger version for a milling machine for metal chip collection. I was planning on a central high power system but probably will never even bother with that.
    Big reason for central vacuum system would be lower noise. I can place it in a shack outside my shop so the motor noise is out there not inside.

    🌹🌹🌹👍I would love to know more about your history, like how you learned all this and how you find the time to build all these incredable things? I used to watch and help my dad invent stuff! When I bought my first car, it was a 1969 baby blue Ford LTD for $500, back in the late 70's. Mind you, I was 4'10" tall and couldn't see over the steering wheel or reach the foot petals, but it held at least 12 of my friends, including the trunk! I thought it would be a great car to sneak everyone into drive-in! Any! way, The day after pulled it into the driveway, I went out to the car for school and I got in and Dad had made me a homemade booster seat and he attached blocks to the foot pedals! Well, the seat was made from scrap plywood, laced together with leather strap like stuff. He attached a note to it that read, I hope this helps and we can perfect after school!! I remember when I turned the first corner, the seat was so slick, that I ended up sliding almost clear to the passenger side while still hanging on to the steering wheel! When I picked up my friends I would make them sit right next to me and use them as a stop! Sorry, I lost both parents recently, and I got a little carried away with my story! I told my DEAR dad it was perfect! You remind me a lot of him!! TY✌🙏🏽🙏🏿🙏👍🛠⚒🔨🪓🌹🌹🌹
