I am still working out the bugs in my dust collection. This summer I am going to run my ducts under my floor. I ran them up hi. I found it just filled my hose up quickly with dust in my set up. Keep up the good work. Thank you for sharing your shop with all of us.
Looking good! Ha to "flattering camera angle" and "flunkie"! You're damn right it's pretty and high quality! If you like it/are happy with it, that's the most important thing.
Thanks for the info. I'm partway into my dust collection journey, I think there's a place for the shop vac and dust collector in a workshop. I know you only sold your vac to help fund other bits but... I managed to get a 3/4 HP collector, similar looking to yours for £80 used (uk) that does the table saw and planer/ thicknesser. (Lucky I know). I've also used a bouncy castle blower under my bench which pulls into a 60l cyclone bin and the exhaust goes out through the wall. Cyclone connects to jointer and radial arm saw all 4" ducting. (That thing sucks better than the proper dust collector). But I'm still going to run a Henry hoover to a 60l cyclone which will run with 40mm pvc ducting to tools with smaller ports and a drop down flex over the bench for hand tools etc. I think if things can be had reasonably then more options is a good thing, especially if your one dust collector fails etc. *Don't know what's wrong with some people nowadays who try and get new money for they're used items, sometimes more. If I sell things, I keep in mind the new price and think, what would I buy this for if I was the buyer? What would I consider a bargain?
@@generationswoodcraft there's one rule to remember, it's worth everything when you're buying it but nothing when you're selling it 🤣, that's what it seems like often.
This is a really helpful vodeo especially right now for me. Im having proper issues right now with my set up. I have a jet extractor but its 100mm although my ports on table saw and plainer are 40mm any advice??🏴👍
I was able to find a coupler on Amazon for fairly cheap. However, you could use PVC pipe. I assume it’s the same where you are using metric. 4” to 2” reducer and 2” coupler is I think how I did it.
@@generationswoodcraft thanks I'll look into that. Problem I have is it's not a full size port like it's not quite 2" it's 40mm so that's like 1.5" ish. I'll have look for couplers.
Making a video out of adding a frame and port under the table saw would be amazing. I have a craftsman that I want to make a mitered square funnel for up and under it.
I really wonder how well this is working for you. I am not sure if you eventually put in some blast gates but i can only imagine that 1 to 3 splitter reduces suction dramatically on the 3 side. Mathematics says each leg on the 3 side only gets 33% of the total suction. Also from watching a bunch of vids on the utube it seem reducing hose size down to 2.5” dramatically reduces air flow on these low pressure dust collectors. It seems for the most part you are better off using a higher pressure shop vac on 2.5” ports. You would probably be better off using the collector with a single connection that you move from your table saw to your plainer and use a shopvac on any smaller tools.
Also remember there is a big difference between a vacuum and a dust collector. It has to do with suction vs. movement of air. Vacuums do not pick up much outside the nozzle but a dust collector will draw air and particles through the system and that is what you need for these larger dust makers.
Very true. I had a section on that I was going to put in the video but I cut it because all that is explained better than I can in the videos I tagged.
lol not gonna lie, the dust collector I made also got the beard test XD also I am in the middle of upgrading mine with a standalone motor instead of a shopvac for suction (just need to wait till next payday for the last few reducers and odds and ends). I also use filters on a box fan, works great.
You don't need a flunkie. Every Marine is a master sanitation engineer 🤣Did you find a big difference in air quality when you put the overhead in? Thinking of one for my metal shop. Thanks and Semper Fi.
So a question comes to mind. You say NOT to buy anything till you've started woodwrking. So the question is how do you know what you'll need.Because you need the bare minnium to start with, whether it's table saw or a jigsaw you need something to cut wood with. You hit on the work flow very important point. i've created the woodshop triangle the three most important machine form this triangle, top point table saw, left point planner, right point joiner. the woodworking triangle.. When you talk about buying tools you have to be aware that people are still undecided in the path they're chosing, weather it's building nic nacs, or crafting, or furniture... Whatever path they chose to follow, each path requires it's own tools. I restore Antique furniture. that requires a lot of specialized tools. compared to somebody who is crafting... when i started out i was 18 yrs old ,I changed my mind multiple times, about where i wanted to go in this trade.and what i wanted out of this trade. somewhere in my early 30's i found where i wanted to be in this trade. Now 61 and working on antique furniture. with an investment of $90,000.00 in tools. short tool list jet 16 " planner $2000., power matic 8" joiner $2500.00, Dealta table saw $600.00 ,rigid 12" sliding compound miter saw $600. Dewalt 10" sliding compound miter saw $400. a complete set of moulding plane dating back to the 1700's $1000.. Feel free to share .
I may be able to answer this question for you… As a very amateur, weekend opportunity woodworker, and starting from scratch, my recommendation would be to get the following tools first: -Cordless circular saw -Cordless Drill -Cordless impact driver -Cordless nail gun -Plug-in orbital sander -A couple of large clamps and small clamps. -Wood handle hammer -Wood glue With just the above tools and a carpenter square, I was able to build all kinds of things. Large furniture down to photo frames. Build your tool inventory from there based on what your usual projects turn out to be and don’t go too cheap either.

I thought about under the floor but for me that’s a lot of work lol. Thanks for watching and commenting as always

You're damn right it's pretty and high quality! If you like it/are happy with it, that's the most important thing.
I used my drum sander tonight. Still have to clean them off a little but way better then before.

I do the same but I will see what others are selling for and if I’m happy with that price I price it just under what everyone is selling theirs for

Great video! What was that switch you showed at the end of the video?

I have multiple in the shop. I hooked up my cnc router and shop vac so they always go at the same time. i never forget.

My goal is a quick release and have plan’s available. That wouldn’t necessarily require and frame but it would look better and work better I think.

Long story short. It did BUT I sold the drum sander so I’m going to totally redo it this winter

My dust collection system consists of a broom and a dust pan.
Dust collection for me is a dustpan and broom. My old delta table saw doesn't even have a dust port it just drops in a storage bin I have under it.
Better than what I had lol. Just right in the floor
I always wondered what happened to David Cross.
I wish I had David Cross money lol

Semper Fi, so far it has lessened the work my air filter needs to do so that is great

As a very amateur, weekend opportunity woodworker, and starting from scratch, my recommendation would be to get the following tools first:
-Cordless circular saw
-Cordless Drill
-Cordless impact driver
-Cordless nail gun
-Plug-in orbital sander
-A couple of large clamps and small clamps.
-Wood handle hammer
-Wood glue
