    I like how you had a problem, you tried a new approach, you had another problem, and tried a now approach, and how you learnt from that. The final solution looks excellent and very very good. Thanks for sharing this experience without cutting out those parts!

    ...I think what I liked about your setup is how you are saving floor space by storing the planer beneath the workbench. I too have a small workshop & the Dewalt DW735X is on my wish list. Currently I am exploring different ideas on chip & dust collection. Your design is sound, once you worked it out... I will most likely be putting my planer on the Dewalt DW7350 mobile stand & roll it into a corner when not in use. I will make my own dust/chip collector using a plastic 40 gal. waste container & modifying a plywood top to accept a 4" hose & make a vent on the opposite side. The key is to keep it simple but functional, hopefully. I use a Rigid 6.5 HP shop vac for my Delta table saw with a 2.5" dust port... The thickness planer will absolutely get its own chip/dust collection & will not require any suction if done correctly. Great post, thanks... :-)

    I'm glad to see that someone else experienced the same thing I did with trying to manage the dust on that planer! I wasted a ton of time trying to build a cart/box to collect the chips. I got basically the same results you did, which I was not satisfied with. Plus the box leaked air out of every small crack it could find. I tried sealing it with caulk and foam, but around the doors I still had too much air and fine dust escaping. I finally just decided to hook the planer right up to my dust collector and run it without the dust collector turned on. Works MUCH better. My lungs are thanking me :-).
    The chip ejector on the Dewalt is SO powerful, in my opinion its just too powerful to effectively collect the chips. That seems strange to say, but its true IMO.
    Great video!

      +MWA Woodworks dust collector is by far a better setup because you get the filter. I only have one small dust collector at my table saw which is not plumped to the side shop where the planer is. This solution works well for me because I hardly ever use the planer and this keeps it out of the way and keeps me from blowing the chips all over shop like what I did before.

    Great build! I have the same planer, and took the lazy man's approach to chip collection. My planer is on a cart with a flip top, so the planer/cart will roll under my bench when it's flipped down (no lifting - I'm not as young as you). When I plane, I use 4" rigid PVC pipe to direct the chips into my Rubbermaid trash can. I use a 3'X3' piece of non-woven geotextile bungied over the top of the trash can to act as a filter. It works great, and when I'm done the chips are already in the garbage can :-)

    I just recently built something similar to this myself. I've got an infeed and outfeed that are on hinges and swing down outta the way when not in use. it's a 2 chamber system that catches most of the chips in the first one and exhausts out under the infeed through a filter. Great design buddy, I really enjoy your videos.

  • @kmooney1954
    @kmooney1954 8 років тому +1

    Nice video and great perseverance. I have the same planer and have made several collection setups (2 by John Heisz, Jay Bates etc.). They worked well, but always produced some side issue... emptying, taking up space etc. I ended up with Jay Bate's and David Picciuto's originals - a pillow case! Just attached to the end of an extension hose (from the planer exhaust) and it works like a charm. Easy on/off (if needed), easy to keep out of the way and easy empting. $1 from the thrift store!

    Vertical V-shaped baffles(like angle iron stood on end) of progressive height(2" tall through 2" shorter than the interior) mounted to both the main compartments floor and ceiling would greatly reduce your blow by.

    • @SAWMetalworks
      @SAWMetalworks 8 років тому +1

      The v portion pointing to rewards the exit path so the v's interior can catch chips/shavings.

    Two Home Depot buckets on top of each other (one upside down) with a Thien baffle between them and hose going in from side of top bucket to create a cyclone affect works much better. Exhaust is through the top (bottom of upside down bucket). I hook it up to my shop vac to let its filter keeps fine dust from exhaust. When not inI use you could just take the buckets apart and stack under your bench.

  • @sachae321
    @sachae321 8 років тому

    Ryan, you might benefit from another strip of the foam vertically on the edge of the baffle. Looks like there's an air path from the big compartment straight to the windowed exit especially when the air blows increasing the internal pressure and that pushes the middle of the removable board out a bit.

    Hey Ryan, this was a very very inspiring video, the improv and problem-solving, I think, is very refreshing and very well conducted. you've shown talent at designing and building before (like the Thein baffle if I remember right) but I find it particularly thought-provoking to see you sequentially zero in on the "good enough" solution. I see some YT niche there, at least one that fits my appetite, as I consider YT the main culprit in metamorphasizing my brain from "pretty scared of trying anything DIY" to "well I guess i could try this or that".
    Anyway, thanks for sharing and
    Keep on trucking ! (from France)

  • @colehudson7799
    @colehudson7799 8 років тому

    In this type of system, what actually causes the chips to fall out of the air stream is the air stream slowing down, so the chips are no longer entrained. That's why it's getting caught in the corners and stuff. I think your best bet is just more volume, unfortunately (if you wanted to improve it, at least). Or maybe a bunch more baffles, as the air against the wall of each baffle is essentially not moving.

    • @Shopbuilt
      @Shopbuilt  8 років тому

      +Cole Hudson I agree, but I think it will be good enough for how much I use the planer.

  • @LivefreeanddiyTv
    @LivefreeanddiyTv 8 років тому

    4th time is a charm :)... After thinking about it a bit, I wonder if it would have been better to put the vent on top, so the dust would have to contend with gravity as well. Either way, good job, glad you got it working!

    GREAT project Ryan. Way to stick with a problem and get it solved. Looked like you had a bit of Matthias W, Jay B and Steve R working in your head.
    If airflow becomes a problem, maybe another screen on the side might help. Personally, I would just get a dustpan and empty in on the floor rather than lifting the planer.

    Expanding on the screen on the top idea. How about a couple of 6” PVC stacks about 12 “ tall (or shorter) with screen caps. It would be more difficult for the dust to swirl in the stack and gravity would be your friend. Just a thought.

  • @Wordsnwood
    @Wordsnwood 8 років тому +5

    Ryan, that is some impressive problem solving. You worked the problem until it worked.
    But it still looks like way too much effort to me - especially having to lug that planer off it for emptying. I was looking at your shop at the 5:49 mark in the video and I wonder if you have considered swapping the location of the planer with the location of that wood storage cart.. Most of that wood looks like it would easily slip under the bench. Why not build some low wood storage carts (or shelves) and put the wood under the bench. Then you can put the planer over where that cart is now and have a taller planer cart. (I have back issues so anything to avoid all that bending and lifting!)

    • @Shopbuilt
      @Shopbuilt  8 років тому +1

      +Wordsnwood (Art Mulder) thanks! Well for me, I just don't use the planer enough to dedicate floor space to it. 99% of my projects are made from plywood and if I look back in the last year, I bet I wouldn't of filled the container yet. Lifting it off isn't a big beal considering I use to have to lift it every time I used it before I made the cabinet. Oh and space your talking about is reserved for a full lumber rack, watch for that video;)

    I get why you built it with the low profile for storage when you’re jot using it.
    If storage was not an issue, do you think if you built it bigger you would have the same problem? I'm wondering if a larger collection void would help to offset the high volume of air pushed around by the blower.
    Or at that point would you just hook up your Dust vac and not worry about it?Anyway, I enjoy your vids. Thanks.

    Good try however I think you over engineered this one. Try using a powertec dust filter bag as it works fantastic since this planer has a built in blower exhaust. Make an extension of the existing black dust port with pvc. so it will be out of the way and slightly off to the side. I use mine every day and for $20 it works awesome.

    Ryan, great effort but you need think about what you are trying to achieve here. All any set up like this will achieve is basic chip collection. You are not capturing any of the harmful dust particles that are invisible to the eye. This system is just pumping the harmful dust back into the air for you to breathe, and it is not even capturing the chips that effectively. Really, just hook up a vac straight to the planer. It wont capture the fine dust either, but it will work better as a chip collector....and way simpler for you. Google Bill Pentz and read up on dust collection, you only have one set one lungs.
