Wow, it’s comments like this that make it all worth it! Woodworking is definitely a passion of mine, I’m still trying to dial in the video side of things. Thanks so much for watching, and your positive feedback.🤘🏻
I didn't watch the whole video. I saw you hanging PVC pipe and stopped to tell you you should ground it. Kidding. Looks good. Congratulations on the shop improvement. I don't think I'll ever get to that level of wood working, just too many interests to consume my finite funds.
I read about only using it 4 times an hour unless you’re using it 15 minutes at a time. Wish I had known that little tid bit before I purchased . I guess I’ll be rebuilding the motor more frequently than normal
Make that 4 of us... 8 always thought it was just being lazy... But after doing some more research, they definitely have their place. I just have the room for one in my little 2 car garage shop. Maybe someday

First time to your channel, nice job on the install. I'm 61 and totally sympathize with working by yourself and getting your back out of whack.

Thanks for watching. Yeah I also normally engineer something to lift the heavy objects in my shop, but for whatever reason I decided to risk it with this one. Thanks for subscribing, and taking the time to comment. 👍🏻
Bro/Brew 😂, I did the same exact thing. It was late at night, I had the bracket hung, the motor assembly done, no one was around or awake, and I was getting that SOB hung. I had only a 4’ ladder, and I did it pretty easily. My back was spared. However, I also did the same damn thing. I had to move my install higher up. I took it down myself, raised the bracket, and rehung it again, by myself. I laughed as I watched you do the same. I wasn’t building your contraption. I just wanted it done.

😂😂 I paid for that for awhile! Normally I come up with some fancy way of lifting heavy items alone. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. 👊🏻
Great video and especially appreciate the mods you made to the electrical to accommodate the cycle requirements for the blower motor. I know you've linked the time delay relay but there are some other components in the box that I wasn't sure what they do or what they are. I paused the video at 8:30 and studied it closely but still, it was a bit confusing to me. Is that white item on the left of the box for the remote control on/off? and the thing in the middle, is that a terminal block for the 110 AC? Hoping you can clarify about what the other components are and what they do -- I would love to replicate it for my soon-to-be-purchased clearview cyclone. I'd also be happy to buy the plans for the electrical if they exist or you're willing to write something up. Thanks and all the best!!
Hey Carl, thanks for watching, and taking the time to comment, and ask questions. The timed delay mod has been awesome and I’m glad I took the time to do it. So the 8:30 time mark shows the components installed, and the internal wiring complete, but excludes the final wiring that needed to take place after the box was installed to accommodate the external items. At minute marker 8:18ish I show the wiring diagram ( I’m not sure if you missed that) but the item to the left is a 10A circuit breaker I added to protect the control circuit, then the center items are the terminal blocks (phoenix blocks is what we refer to them as in my profession, it’s a brand) then at the far right is the time delay relay. The black item at the bottom is the contractor for the motor. The wireless receiver is the white item plugged into the receptacle external and to the right of the box it has the light on it. The nerd in me really wanted to go more in-depth on how I did all the wiring, but with todays age and how people can be I didn’t want the liability if you know what I mean… if you want to email me at brewbuilds2@gmail.com, I’d more than help you in more detail and explanation of what I did with the wiring, and any other questions with what I did, and can share more pictures. Again thank you for watching and commenting, and please reach out. 👊🏻
I just found your channel and Subscribe. Great video, I love the twist you found to help with the dust collection. I have been scouring the internet for information about doing the relay delay you did. Could you link the relay or even better do a video of how you wired it so others could incorporate that technology. I have a clear vue I am about to hook up but it would have been nice even on my old harbor freight dust collector. Thanks
Thanks for watching Michael. The system came together really nice. I went back and added a link for the time delay relay in the video description, I thought I had linked that when I uploaded the video but must have missed it. At about the 8min mark I showed my wiring diagram for how I wired it. If you have any specific questions you can email me and I’d be happy to help out. 👊🏻
Subbed and liked . I was jealous when you said you used your CNC to make the brackets (I have a cnc router table but never put together and also need the spindle and electronics) then I had to lol when you said psych and showed us that you did it on a bandsaw. I really have a bandsaw as they look really handy at times. I find it incredibly you got the motor up by yourself , wow . I’m an old man ,63, so I’ll get a friend or grab the guy on the other side of the ally when he gets home from work . I have the CV1800 and will be installing it soon , so it was nice to find your video . That’s interesting about the 9 degree angle , not sure how I’m going to deal with that
Thank you! I feel like people always get angry when they see people using cnc’s so I thought I’d throw in a curve ball. 😂 I actually have a cnc on order, I can’t wait to use it. It sounds like you’re smarter than me by asking for help on lifting the motor up. It’s definitely the way to go, and wouldn’t do it alone again. The 9 degree slope isn’t a must and can certainly be ran straight out, without the slope. So don’t sweat it too much. Thanks for watching and commenting. 👊🏻
@@brewbuilds well you did one hell of a job, and thanks for recommending mounting it as high as possible. I have a 10 foot ceiling , so I’m aware I have to support the clean out box under the air filters etc . I’m going to see if I can source out that tape you used . I was going to use the foil stuff but I’m liking the silicone tape much more , and it’s probably easier to remove if it comes to that. I want to build similar brackets to yours ,as it makes sense keeping the duct away from the wall to better seal it . Probably use my jig saw and my spindle sander to make one template , than a hand router to mass produce
Love the pipe hanger design. I may do something similar on my current dust extraction build. One item I'll be adding out of an abundance of caution even though its been shown to not be necessary is continuous copper tape line along the top of all pipe with copper screws to the interior of the pipe grounded at several locations. I realize it's probably unnecessary to worry much amount static buildup, but I figure it cant hurt. I'll also be building in a delay on the shutoff of the motors to cut down on the frequency of cycling motors off and on again. Seems logical.
Thank you, the pipe hangers worked out great, and the delay circuit is good insurance. The grounding is whatever you’re comfortable with, I would personally never stop anyone, it’s just annoying having people comment saying my shop is going to explode if I don’t do it.😂 Thanks for watching and commenting. Keep me posted on how your setup turns out. 🤘🏻
@@brewbuilds Agreed that the grounding is really unnecessary. I'm retired and look for projects to keep me busy and interested which is the only reason I'll be adding it. I feel like it could end up being a cool Tron like artistic element with the copper tape on white pipe so its more an esthetic thing that can't really hurt. Keep up the cool videos and ignore any negative chirps from others. These posts help motivate the rest of us to take on cool projects. Cheers.
Best tip, get rid of filters, bags, and canisters. Have your collector rest on a 55gal drum (with the drum being the cyclone) and then run your exhaust through a wall outside. If you do it right, dust will not make it outside the drum until it's almost full. Now, a $200 WEN collector can do wonders in a small shop. So ditch the filter, and you'll be so much happier you did.
I agree with venting outside, but my shop is heated and my winters get cold. I can’t justify losing that heat. I have seen people make there systems able to direct the exhaust outdoors when the outside temps aren’t as harsh, and then filter inside when it doesn’t make sense. 👍🏻
I vented mine outside. I love it. It made it much quieter and have never noticed any fine dust on my truck that gets parked right outside the vent. So it's a win... Not to mention very little resistance on the airflow
@ICTbondsman yeah, I see no dust at all come out until my 55 gal barrel gets up to around ¾ full. I found clear bag liners for the drum a few months back. So I was able to cut a thin slot out of the drum side (except for the rib support areas that bulb outwards) and epoxied a piece of 0.03" thick plexiglass over it. Now it makes it so much easier as I can see when the dust/chip level is, and just pull the bag out, dump it, and put the bag back in. I'm just still shocked at hiw efficient it is for such a small motor (WEN 7.4 amp induction motor). My 2hp unit with a canister and filter was not that much better overall. I've gad surprising luck with a few WEN tools these past 2 years (but a few tools I tried were garbage. Lol. It's a luck factor.)
I like the ingenuity using the struts and rod to raise it. I wonder if this cyclone is available in Australia? I have a mate who is just moving his shop and his dust extraction needs some serious improvement so he can focus on is creative work not mess.
Thanks dude! Unistrut is a great product, I’m surprised it doesn’t get used more. I’m not sure if they ship overseas or not, I don’t see why the wouldn’t other than maybe cost. They are great to work with, and their product is great. Might be worth reaching out to them. Thanks for watching. 👊🏻
Im not gonna lie.... I almost started typing out a rude comment when you said you cut those hangers out on your CNC... Glad I waited 😆 I think I made mine with my bandsaw to ensure that none of them were exactly the same 🤔
Haha I was hoping I would get someone! I know the feeling, that’s why I just cut one out and used it as a template on the router table for the others. 🤣
Just the info I needed on the time delay. Could you also install a fan blowing on the motor to help keep it cool and thereby shortening the cycle on how long it has to run? I have a Clearvue system and I’m looking for the best options. Thanks.
Adding a fan definitely wouldn’t hurt anything, but the motor has a built in fan that’s designed to properly cool it. So it might be overkill. The 15min is just a good practice, and is stated by the manufacturer, but I’m sure if you run it shorter durations occasionally it won’t hurt it. I wouldn’t sweat it too much. 👊🏻
Thanks for watching! Yeah the 1” should work, but keep in mind when you stretch it the overall width reduces so you may need to do additional wraps around the joint to get good coverage. I found the 1-1/2” to be the happy medium for using less product on each joint. Hope that makes sense. 👊🏻
The dust system is definitely going to help save you from major lung issues going forward, you was right to go with a system that's capable of doing the job properly 👍, by the way have you seen the video that "Brent's Woodworking and More" uploaded on his channel?. He has the same system as you but if you haven't seen it then you really should take a look, because of his video I ended up going with the laguna all in one type system. Glad I came across your channel I've just subbed too and look forward to seeing what you will be doing in the future!!! As always buddy 💯% 👍 🇬🇧.
I’ve seen a handful of his videos, but I’m not sure I’ve seen that one. It’s taken me 4 years to get my shop ready for a dust collection system, and I’ve been eyeballing this one since before I had a shop. 😂 thank you for watching, subbing, and taking the time to comment. I truly appreciate it. 👍🏻
Nice video. FWIW, I find that below about 2 1/2" you're far better off hooking the dust collection up to a shop vac. So the miter saw might be better off that way. I also built a 4" overarm dust collection arm for my table saw, and was pretty disappointed with the results. Might have been better with a flexible "saw stache", like you see around CNC cutter heads. I also upgraded from my grizzly to the SawStop, and their built in blade guard seems to best of a bad situation, with it attached to a dedicated shop vac. In both cases you're attempting to collect dust from a blade moving at 150 MPH with a dust collection system that moves air at 40 MPH, you can't win. Open ended cuts are usually the worst.
You’re 100% correct. I briefly talked about those topics in the video, and I’ll be making a 4” over arm dust hood for my table saw, along with making something better for my miter saw, and belt sander. thanks for watching and commenting. 🤘🏻
@@brewbuilds FWIW, I ended up using a simple 90 deg HVAC boot attached to the back of my sander. I then extended the sides of the boot with 1/4" plywood so that they overhang the sander. The sides are removable, and only attached by magnets, otherwise they can get in the way if you want to use the ends for curved cuts. The "dust port" on the rigid sander is pretty worthless, even with a shop vac.
I found this video from your Instagram response the other day. Awesome info for those of us hanging 6” pipe for the first time. I have to ask though, do you think the 3/4” screw heads add turbulence to the system? Seems like they’re not worth their function, unless I’m overthinking it
Also I just have my pvc hanging from metal strapping (with rubber tape sandwiched between) since my ceiling joists are only 8ft high.. do I need any downward pressure on the pipe at the hangers or do you think gravity alone is enough? I’m worried the pvc isn’t “locked in place” enough
Hey Chris, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. As far as the 3/4” screws you’re talking about are you referring to the ones I used to secure the joints together? If so I’m sure if you had sensitive enough measuring instruments, and a very controlled environment you could maybe see the slight amount of turbulence that they may add. But when I calculated all my cfm and air speeds I was right on par with Bill Pentz’s recommendations in his write up on the matter. They also helped me insure the joints stayed in place while I was assembling the system sometimes the joints will slip or pull apart and they really help prevent that. Let me know if that’s what you were referring to.👍🏻 As far as your pipe hanging method, that seems to be a pretty common method and I’ve really never heard of any issues. All of my horizontal run that travel inward to my shop are suspended by a similar product my just happens to be plastic strapping material. I made those wall hangers for the first section of the pipe the runs right up against the wall, and for all the vertical drops. I will say I like how that added some rigidity to the system. But isn’t a must. 👍🏻
@@brewbuilds yep those were the screws I was referring to. Yea I may be overthinking it- they probably help a lot more than they hurt. I’ve been having issues with my fittings pulling out during the dry fitting stage, I think I’m gonna use the screws like you did. Thanks for the response! And I’ve got some real pipe hangers coming to replace the metal strapping just so I feel better about it.
@christopherkohl4930 yeah they work great and really, they barely stick threw. I only used 2 per connection. If you have any questions throughout your install feel free to email me, or shoot me a dm on Instagram I’d be more than happy to help.👍🏻
Can you vary the distance the dust collector to the wall? The reason I ask is I’m wondering if building brackets that would keep the duct a little further from the wall would help with sealing the joints
@@MajorTendonitis the standard wall bracket they sell limits how far off the wall the cyclone hangs, but if you build something similar to what I did, you can put it wherever you want. 👍🏻
@MajorTendonitis no problem! Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions on what I used, or any other questions. My e-mail is on the main page of my channel. 👍🏻
Static hasn’t been an issue, and I didn’t have an issue with it in my previous shop setup either. The cyclone does build a charge (as expected), but isn’t an issue. 👍🏻
do you mind sharing how much you spent on pipe and fittings? i am really struggling to find 6" SDR locally to me, so if i have to order off the internet i was just trying to get a baseline for how badly some of these prices are gouging me. the pipe i can find for acceptable-ish prices, but the fittings seem insane. ( I realize i commented before i finished the entire video, so here i am editing, asking for a more specific break down :) please and thank you, great video, subscribed)
Thanks for watching. I don’t have all the paper work in front of me, but the pipe was $40 per stick, the wyes were roughly $50 each, and the 45’s were about $30 each. Definitely stay away from Lowe’s or homedepot, I found the best prices were through a local irrigation supply house in my area, and since it’s their off season in my area they gave me some good pricing for giving them some business. Let me know if you have any more questions.🤘🏻
question, why the 10 amp breaker inside the box? and also which DIN Rail Terminal block did you use any idea? ORdered teh timer switch through your link :)
@@pctatc66 I added the extra 10A breaker as extra protection, and to isolate the internal components in the box. That way it wasn’t just relying on the protection of the main 15A circuit supplying the power. It’s probably over kill, but I do electrical for a living and it seemed like the right thing to do. The terminal block are made by a company called phoenix, and they are UK-5N. I don’t have a good link to supply for them, as I just had them laying around from a previous project. But if you google (phoenix UK-5N terminal blocks) there are a bunch of sites to order them from. There is nothing too special about them, other than, they are compact and well built. But don’t think you have to purchase them to make this work, any terminal block will do just fine. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. 👊🏻
@@brewbuilds cool.. Thanks for the quick reply. Ordered the breaker (it is a good idea) din terminal blocks and din rails as well. I really like the way you set up the timer. I almost feel Clearvue should sell this setup as an additional option!
@pctatc66 you bet bud! I’m glad you were able to track all the parts down. It’s actually been really handy, and I’m glad I did it. If you have any other questions I have my email listed on my channel home page, so don’t hesitate to reach out. And let me know how your system turns out! 👊🏻
@@brewbuilds Awesome. Will do man. Im not an electrical genius. However I have a friend who was an electricians mate on a USN Submarine. He knows his schitck!

Hey sorry I’m just now seeing your comment. Yeah there are actually tables and formulas for maximum starts per hour for motors.

Hoping you can clarify about what the other components are and what they do -- I would love to replicate it for my soon-to-be-purchased clearview cyclone. I'd also be happy to buy the plans for the electrical if they exist or you're willing to write something up. Thanks and all the best!!
Hey Carl, thanks for watching, and taking the time to comment, and ask questions. The timed delay mod has been awesome and I’m glad I took the time to do it. So the 8:30 time mark shows the components installed, and the internal wiring complete, but excludes the final wiring that needed to take place after the box was installed to accommodate the external items. At minute marker 8:18ish I show the wiring diagram ( I’m not sure if you missed that) but the item to the left is a 10A circuit breaker I added to protect the control circuit, then the center items are the terminal blocks (phoenix blocks is what we refer to them as in my profession, it’s a brand) then at the far right is the time delay relay. The black item at the bottom is the contractor for the motor. The wireless receiver is the white item plugged into the receptacle external and to the right of the box it has the light on it. The nerd in me really wanted to go more in-depth on how I did all the wiring, but with todays age and how people can be I didn’t want the liability if you know what I mean… if you want to email me at brewbuilds2@gmail.com, I’d more than help you in more detail and explanation of what I did with the wiring, and any other questions with what I did, and can share more pictures. Again thank you for watching and commenting, and please reach out. 👊🏻
I just found your channel and Subscribe. Great video, I love the twist you found to help with the dust collection. I have been scouring the internet for information about doing the relay delay you did. Could you link the relay or even better do a video of how you wired it so others could incorporate that technology. I have a clear vue I am about to hook up but it would have been nice even on my old harbor freight dust collector. Thanks
Thanks for watching Michael. The system came together really nice. I went back and added a link for the time delay relay in the video description, I thought I had linked that when I uploaded the video but must have missed it. At about the 8min mark I showed my wiring diagram for how I wired it. If you have any specific questions you can email me and I’d be happy to help out. 👊🏻
Subbed and liked . I was jealous when you said you used your CNC to make the brackets (I have a cnc router table but never put together and also need the spindle and electronics) then I had to lol when you said psych and showed us that you did it on a bandsaw. I really have a bandsaw as they look really handy at times.
I find it incredibly you got the motor up by yourself , wow . I’m an old man ,63, so I’ll get a friend or grab the guy on the other side of the ally when he gets home from work . I have the CV1800 and will be installing it soon , so it was nice to find your video .
That’s interesting about the 9 degree angle , not sure how I’m going to deal with that
Thank you! I feel like people always get angry when they see people using cnc’s so I thought I’d throw in a curve ball. 😂 I actually have a cnc on order, I can’t wait to use it.
It sounds like you’re smarter than me by asking for help on lifting the motor up. It’s definitely the way to go, and wouldn’t do it alone again.
The 9 degree slope isn’t a must and can certainly be ran straight out, without the slope. So don’t sweat it too much. Thanks for watching and commenting. 👊🏻
@@brewbuilds well you did one hell of a job, and thanks for recommending mounting it as high as possible. I have a 10 foot ceiling , so I’m aware I have to support the clean out box under the air filters etc .
I’m going to see if I can source out that tape you used . I was going to use the foil stuff but I’m liking the silicone tape much more , and it’s probably easier to remove if it comes to that.
I want to build similar brackets to yours ,as it makes sense keeping the duct away from the wall to better seal it . Probably use my jig saw and my spindle sander to make one template , than a hand router to mass produce
Great video Rob, I'm so jealous of that garage, can you come and renovate mine ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks buddy! You supply the beer and I’m there! 😂😂
@@brewbuilds I'll throw in some BBQ too 🤣
Love the pipe hanger design. I may do something similar on my current dust extraction build. One item I'll be adding out of an abundance of caution even though its been shown to not be necessary is continuous copper tape line along the top of all pipe with copper screws to the interior of the pipe grounded at several locations. I realize it's probably unnecessary to worry much amount static buildup, but I figure it cant hurt. I'll also be building in a delay on the shutoff of the motors to cut down on the frequency of cycling motors off and on again. Seems logical.
Thank you, the pipe hangers worked out great, and the delay circuit is good insurance.
The grounding is whatever you’re comfortable with, I would personally never stop anyone, it’s just annoying having people comment saying my shop is going to explode if I don’t do it.😂
Thanks for watching and commenting. Keep me posted on how your setup turns out. 🤘🏻
@@brewbuilds Agreed that the grounding is really unnecessary. I'm retired and look for projects to keep me busy and interested which is the only reason I'll be adding it. I feel like it could end up being a cool Tron like artistic element with the copper tape on white pipe so its more an esthetic thing that can't really hurt.
Keep up the cool videos and ignore any negative chirps from others. These posts help motivate the rest of us to take on cool projects. Cheers.
Best tip, get rid of filters, bags, and canisters. Have your collector rest on a 55gal drum (with the drum being the cyclone) and then run your exhaust through a wall outside.
If you do it right, dust will not make it outside the drum until it's almost full. Now, a $200 WEN collector can do wonders in a small shop.
So ditch the filter, and you'll be so much happier you did.
I agree with venting outside, but my shop is heated and my winters get cold. I can’t justify losing that heat. I have seen people make there systems able to direct the exhaust outdoors when the outside temps aren’t as harsh, and then filter inside when it doesn’t make sense. 👍🏻
@Brewbuilds ooof how cold does it get there?
It gets into the negatives in the winter and over a hundred at times in the summer.
I vented mine outside. I love it. It made it much quieter and have never noticed any fine dust on my truck that gets parked right outside the vent. So it's a win... Not to mention very little resistance on the airflow
@ICTbondsman yeah, I see no dust at all come out until my 55 gal barrel gets up to around ¾ full.
I found clear bag liners for the drum a few months back. So I was able to cut a thin slot out of the drum side (except for the rib support areas that bulb outwards) and epoxied a piece of 0.03" thick plexiglass over it. Now it makes it so much easier as I can see when the dust/chip level is, and just pull the bag out, dump it, and put the bag back in.
I'm just still shocked at hiw efficient it is for such a small motor (WEN 7.4 amp induction motor). My 2hp unit with a canister and filter was not that much better overall. I've gad surprising luck with a few WEN tools these past 2 years (but a few tools I tried were garbage. Lol. It's a luck factor.)
I like the ingenuity using the struts and rod to raise it. I wonder if this cyclone is available in Australia? I have a mate who is just moving his shop and his dust extraction needs some serious improvement so he can focus on is creative work not mess.
Thanks dude! Unistrut is a great product, I’m surprised it doesn’t get used more. I’m not sure if they ship overseas or not, I don’t see why the wouldn’t other than maybe cost. They are great to work with, and their product is great. Might be worth reaching out to them. Thanks for watching. 👊🏻
Im not gonna lie.... I almost started typing out a rude comment when you said you cut those hangers out on your CNC... Glad I waited 😆 I think I made mine with my bandsaw to ensure that none of them were exactly the same 🤔
Haha I was hoping I would get someone! I know the feeling, that’s why I just cut one out and used it as a template on the router table for the others. 🤣
Just the info I needed on the time delay. Could you also install a fan blowing on the motor to help keep it cool and thereby shortening the cycle on how long it has to run? I have a Clearvue system and I’m looking for the best options. Thanks.
Adding a fan definitely wouldn’t hurt anything, but the motor has a built in fan that’s designed to properly cool it. So it might be overkill. The 15min is just a good practice, and is stated by the manufacturer, but I’m sure if you run it shorter durations occasionally it won’t hurt it. I wouldn’t sweat it too much. 👊🏻
Glad I found this. Much I knew but the TAPE!!!! Wondering ... link is for 1-1/2" silicone tape, would the 1" also work?
Thanks for watching! Yeah the 1” should work, but keep in mind when you stretch it the overall width reduces so you may need to do additional wraps around the joint to get good coverage. I found the 1-1/2” to be the happy medium for using less product on each joint. Hope that makes sense. 👊🏻
It does. Thanks much!
@@cottagemail4066 awesome glad I could help. 👊🏻
The dust system is definitely going to help save you from major lung issues going forward, you was right to go with a system that's capable of doing the job properly 👍, by the way have you seen the video that "Brent's Woodworking and More" uploaded on his channel?. He has the same system as you but if you haven't seen it then you really should take a look, because of his video I ended up going with the laguna all in one type system. Glad I came across your channel I've just subbed too and look forward to seeing what you will be doing in the future!!! As always buddy 💯% 👍 🇬🇧.
I’ve seen a handful of his videos, but I’m not sure I’ve seen that one. It’s taken me 4 years to get my shop ready for a dust collection system, and I’ve been eyeballing this one since before I had a shop. 😂 thank you for watching, subbing, and taking the time to comment. I truly appreciate it. 👍🏻
@@brewbuilds his turned into a bit of a nightmare for him 😳 😢
Lets gooo!!! 🔥
🤘🏻
Nice video. FWIW, I find that below about 2 1/2" you're far better off hooking the dust collection up to a shop vac. So the miter saw might be better off that way.
I also built a 4" overarm dust collection arm for my table saw, and was pretty disappointed with the results. Might have been better with a flexible "saw stache", like you see around CNC cutter heads.
I also upgraded from my grizzly to the SawStop, and their built in blade guard seems to best of a bad situation, with it attached to a dedicated shop vac.
In both cases you're attempting to collect dust from a blade moving at 150 MPH with a dust collection system that moves air at 40 MPH, you can't win. Open ended cuts are usually the worst.
You’re 100% correct. I briefly talked about those topics in the video, and I’ll be making a 4” over arm dust hood for my table saw, along with making something better for my miter saw, and belt sander. thanks for watching and commenting. 🤘🏻
@@brewbuilds FWIW, I ended up using a simple 90 deg HVAC boot attached to the back of my sander. I then extended the sides of the boot with 1/4" plywood so that they overhang the sander. The sides are removable, and only attached by magnets, otherwise they can get in the way if you want to use the ends for curved cuts.
The "dust port" on the rigid sander is pretty worthless, even with a shop vac.
That’s a great idea thanks for sharing! Yeah I agree the dust collection on the Ridgid sander is worthless. 😂
I found this video from your Instagram response the other day. Awesome info for those of us hanging 6” pipe for the first time. I have to ask though, do you think the 3/4” screw heads add turbulence to the system? Seems like they’re not worth their function, unless I’m overthinking it
Also I just have my pvc hanging from metal strapping (with rubber tape sandwiched between) since my ceiling joists are only 8ft high.. do I need any downward pressure on the pipe at the hangers or do you think gravity alone is enough? I’m worried the pvc isn’t “locked in place” enough
Hey Chris, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. As far as the 3/4” screws you’re talking about are you referring to the ones I used to secure the joints together? If so I’m sure if you had sensitive enough measuring instruments, and a very controlled environment you could maybe see the slight amount of turbulence that they may add. But when I calculated all my cfm and air speeds I was right on par with Bill Pentz’s recommendations in his write up on the matter. They also helped me insure the joints stayed in place while I was assembling the system sometimes the joints will slip or pull apart and they really help prevent that. Let me know if that’s what you were referring to.👍🏻
As far as your pipe hanging method, that seems to be a pretty common method and I’ve really never heard of any issues. All of my horizontal run that travel inward to my shop are suspended by a similar product my just happens to be plastic strapping material. I made those wall hangers for the first section of the pipe the runs right up against the wall, and for all the vertical drops. I will say I like how that added some rigidity to the system. But isn’t a must. 👍🏻
@@brewbuilds yep those were the screws I was referring to. Yea I may be overthinking it- they probably help a lot more than they hurt. I’ve been having issues with my fittings pulling out during the dry fitting stage, I think I’m gonna use the screws like you did. Thanks for the response! And I’ve got some real pipe hangers coming to replace the metal strapping just so I feel better about it.
@christopherkohl4930 yeah they work great and really, they barely stick threw. I only used 2 per connection. If you have any questions throughout your install feel free to email me, or shoot me a dm on Instagram I’d be more than happy to help.👍🏻
Can you vary the distance the dust collector to the wall? The reason I ask is I’m wondering if building brackets that would keep the duct a little further from the wall would help with sealing the joints
@@MajorTendonitis the standard wall bracket they sell limits how far off the wall the cyclone hangs, but if you build something similar to what I did, you can put it wherever you want. 👍🏻
@@brewbuilds thank you I didn’t know that. I really liked your adjustable idea using rods . Will have to watch again
@MajorTendonitis no problem! Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions on what I used, or any other questions. My e-mail is on the main page of my channel. 👍🏻
@@brewbuilds thanks again. I may have to borrow you for just a minute to lift it into place :)
@MajorTendonitis 😂 definitely don’t do what I did. I paid for that for awhile. 🤦🏻♂️
Let us know if static becomes an issue with no grounding.
Static hasn’t been an issue, and I didn’t have an issue with it in my previous shop setup either. The cyclone does build a charge (as expected), but isn’t an issue. 👍🏻
"...like a peasant" made me laugh out loud.
😂😂👊🏻
do you mind sharing how much you spent on pipe and fittings? i am really struggling to find 6" SDR locally to me, so if i have to order off the internet i was just trying to get a baseline for how badly some of these prices are gouging me. the pipe i can find for acceptable-ish prices, but the fittings seem insane. ( I realize i commented before i finished the entire video, so here i am editing, asking for a more specific break down :) please and thank you, great video, subscribed)
Thanks for watching. I don’t have all the paper work in front of me, but the pipe was $40 per stick, the wyes were roughly $50 each, and the 45’s were about $30 each. Definitely stay away from Lowe’s or homedepot, I found the best prices were through a local irrigation supply house in my area, and since it’s their off season in my area they gave me some good pricing for giving them some business. Let me know if you have any more questions.🤘🏻
question, why the 10 amp breaker inside the box? and also which DIN Rail Terminal block did you use any idea? ORdered teh timer switch through your link :)
@@pctatc66 I added the extra 10A breaker as extra protection, and to isolate the internal components in the box. That way it wasn’t just relying on the protection of the main 15A circuit supplying the power. It’s probably over kill, but I do electrical for a living and it seemed like the right thing to do.
The terminal block are made by a company called phoenix, and they are UK-5N. I don’t have a good link to supply for them, as I just had them laying around from a previous project. But if you google (phoenix UK-5N terminal blocks) there are a bunch of sites to order them from. There is nothing too special about them, other than, they are compact and well built. But don’t think you have to purchase them to make this work, any terminal block will do just fine.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. 👊🏻
@@brewbuilds cool.. Thanks for the quick reply. Ordered the breaker (it is a good idea) din terminal blocks and din rails as well. I really like the way you set up the timer. I almost feel Clearvue should sell this setup as an additional option!
@pctatc66 you bet bud! I’m glad you were able to track all the parts down. It’s actually been really handy, and I’m glad I did it. If you have any other questions I have my email listed on my channel home page, so don’t hesitate to reach out. And let me know how your system turns out! 👊🏻
@@brewbuilds Awesome. Will do man. Im not an electrical genius. However I have a friend who was an electricians mate on a USN Submarine. He knows his schitck!
@pctatc66 heck yeah!
Better ground that!!! J/K i don't give a shit... 😂😂😂 Nice video, thanks!
I will not ground it! 😂 thanks for watching, and taking the time to comment. 🤘🏻👊🏻
@@brewbuilds Rock on brother! Subbed
@@UA-camStat heck ya bro, welcome. 👍🏻
I've never heard of a 5hp motor that couldn't be cycled on or off more than four times per hour... especially a US made Baldor motor. Learn something new everyday.
Hey sorry I’m just now seeing your comment. Yeah there are actually tables and formulas for maximum starts per hour for motors. I don’t know if the typical user in this application would truly ever see the long term effects if they exceeded it. They recommended it in their install instructions, and I like to over complicate things so I had some fun making my modifications.😂 thanks for watching. 👊🏻
the way you pronounce “caulk” makes me uncomfortable.
Super helpful video 😂 thanks for the detail!
😂😂 I’ve been corrected many times on the internet. I’ve never heard anyone in my area pronounce it cock. 😂
I’m glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching and commenting. 👊🏻
Dude that thing sucks!!!!
It really does! 😂
