Great timing. I have purchased the same DeWalt thickness planer. Your solution to the dust and chip collection has inspired me to do something similar. Thank you.
Thanks for stopping by! Yeah I’ve used the planer a lot since that video and the dust collection works well. One other tip I’d give you is make sure you force the chips that collect in the bag back into the can or it can clog pretty easily. Also, I have struggled some with the lid not staying tight, I think it’s just my can is not quite “round” but I ended up having to put more bungee cords on it to hold it down better. It’s not ideal but I want to keep the lid removable and it works. I’ve been trying to figure out a better solution, I was thinking about attaching some hold down clamps around the circumference of the lid but I have not figured out how to do it yet but when I do I be sure to make a video!! Thanks again for your comment!!!
Sir --- Very nice. Very similar to my set up. I use the same hose but go directly from 4" to 4", the hose is rigid enough to not need the 'adapter'. I used a 30gal 'plastic' barrel with a home made plywood top, not worrying about the 'cyclone'. For the output I use an automotive airfilter. --- Dust Free!
That sounds like a good setup. I’ve not had any issues yet with the adapter clogging yet but I will admit i have wondered if it would have been just as easy to clamp onto the output with a full 4” hose. Good to know that works well in case I need to make an adjustment. Appreciate you stopping by and appreciate the comment even more! Have a great day!!
Rich, thank you so much for visiting and reaching out! I appreciate your kind words and I do as hope it is reaching the ears of who God intends! There are many more messages in my other videos as well!! God bless you and yours and thanks again for stopping by!
Hey Jack!! I’m thankful for you and your continued support! It’s real easy for my messages to be Bible based since that’s all I know!! LOL!! What really amazes me is how his word is as relevant to us in the world we live in as it was in the days it was written. Bless you and yours Jack!!
Decent set up! But i do think that the bag setup is not the best. It seems that it it turns it self upside down due to the pressure and thus completely eliminates the gathering of the sawdust which in turn fall right back down. I would have added another one of those flex hoses to the bag so it could be rightside up on a more natural position. Just my opinion tho. Let me know what you think and how its working out for you.🤙
Thanks so much Alex, i get your point, i will say that so far, the set-up has worked pretty well, for the most part. Yes, so when power is applied, the bag inflates and the fine particle dust gets trapped in the bag, and as power is removed, it all falls down into the tub. So, there is probably a school of thought that all of that dust continues to get "recycled" so, should I probably empty it every time? Yea, I probably should. Having said that, my ultimate goal obviously is to have a proper dust collection set-up at some point but in my defense, I don't have a shop, which if I did, I'd have a fine particle collection in it, and I do not have the ability to leave this set up in a permanent location, so this is my compromise. But I do like your solution and its worth looking in to. So stay tuned, I may try what you suggest, and if it works well, you might see another video. I really do appreciate your comment, and stopping by. Have a blessed day!

Richard, I love that your messages are Bible based and so appropriate for the times we live in. Good job on your sawdust handler.

What is the micron rating on your dust bag? Thanks.
Hey Rick thanks for stopping by. The bag I’m using in this video is a 30 micron rated bag.
