    I wonder how much pressure the blower in that planer produces. With a small filter like that, you may need quite a bit of pressure to get enough airflow.

      The 735 has a chip ejector velocity close to that of an F-14 after burner. It will inflate my Delta dust collector through 20 feet of 4" hose and an trash can separator.

      Matthias Wandel that built in blower will throw small chips about 10 to 15 meters away if not collected.

      I agree. Furthermore, chip extraction does not equate linearly to dust extraction.
      At all.

      @mulholla 10 років тому +4

      Yeah, I had to rethink my dust extractor/ Thien baffle setup as soon as I plugged it in. It literally blew the top of my collection bucket, proving it had far more blow than my extractor had suck.

    Thanks for the video John. I have been watching your channel for some time now. I have the same planer and built a very the same type of can you have. And I must say that this a very slick set up. It catches all of the chips and dust. The only difference is I used a 4" hose. Again thanks for the videos. I am always looking for your new ones.

  • @dano9176
    @dano9176 2 роки тому +1

    I did pretty much the same with 4" hose. My change was no filter on the lid, but another 4" exhaust that I port outdoors (I'm in a rural area) in nice weather or into a pillow case when indoors. Thanks for the video!

  • @mdbohica
    @mdbohica 10 років тому +19

    As to your fine dust filter, build a small wood framework over the hole big enough to stretch a pillow case over, they work AWESOME for filtering planer dust.

  • @gaillong4748
    @gaillong4748 10 років тому +6

    Bench dings equate to experience. You get better as dings accumulate.
    Instead of the exhaust on the top put in another hose port on the side at the top of the can or another angled out on the top over at the edge of the cover and send that hose to a shop vac. The micron filter on the shop vac will get the fine dust and the added suction will help pull the chips out of the planer.
    I use that same DW735 and it puts out more chips and dust than anything in my shop. I've put my shop vac hose on it and that seems to work very well. That model of planer really pushes out the chips but without suction (I've tried that) I get chips back down and it gets under my work and will cause sniping or uneven planing.
    I like how you made the lid attachment.
    Love the videos.

    • @IBuildIt
      @IBuildIt  10 років тому +2

      Gail Long Actually, bench dings equate to not caring. I can go out and beat the living hell out of it within an hour and I'll still have the same experience.The blower on the planer is strong enough to work in this arrangement, as demonstrated. No need to attach a shop vac.

    • @daviddavis5689
      @daviddavis5689 8 років тому

      Yep I have the Ridgid planer that also has vacuum assist; works fine without shop vac. I use a round duct with a sander bag attached to vent the container. I have my container setting on the mobile base under the stand planer rest on. Good video

    • @daviddavis5689
      @daviddavis5689 8 років тому

      This is a planer which puts out much less dust. than most shop tools. Mine uses a bag filter used with many shop vacs so no dust problem there. For others I used a shop vac with bag as it is sufficent for my uses and captures dust very well. Only dust I get is from hand sanding when I do it or machine which is fine and impossible to fully eliminate.Planer make more shaving to pickup so I want it contained for less cleanup.

    In my case, I half filled a drum with water then directed the flow of dust to the bottom with a 4" diameter pipe with several holes on its sides near the bottom.
    In this way, the fine dust particles are soaked and sink to the bottom. The shavings are pushed out at the bottom. I left a gap of 6" between the bottom of the drum and the pipe.

    It looks like you are trying to drill the worlds largest pocket hole when you are making your hose port. I always kick myself when I manage to damage something. Keeping things looking nice is ok, but at the end of the day function is more important than form if you want to get things done. Great project.

    A home AC filter would work as well for the fines. You could get four of them out of a single 20" x 20" filter too.

  • @stevenalford-purvis7613
    @stevenalford-purvis7613 10 років тому

    Nice. A similar solution is to cut two large holes in the plastic lid of one of those animal stopper garbage cans (the ones with the hold down straps). You can cut out about 2/3 of the lid without any structural issues. Then seal off the top of the garbage can with a fairly fine cloth (even better if you sew in draw strings) and have a reinforced hole to pass the hose through. Clamp on the lid and you are ready to go. No fine dust gets out and it allows for lots of air flow. I did end up eventually wrapping copper wire around the lid and hose and grounding it at the planer when I got tired of being shocked.

  • @lithgowlights859

    Having the same dewalt 735, I think I'll have to go invest in a garbage can, some 2 inch hose and a few parts. I'm currently using a vacuum, but the filter gets blocked in 2 or 3 7 meter boards. Tapping the filter looks like a great idea to me.

  • @glennryzebol4472
    @glennryzebol4472 7 років тому

  • @joeh690

    did you use a Shop-Vac to suck up the dust into the garbage can or did you just let it blow into the trash since it has a blower

  • @scottwk32
    @scottwk32 5 років тому +1

    I built a version of this model using a 55 gallon drum with a secure ring to hold the lid on. I cut an 8" opening for the screen vent. For the hose from the planer to the barrel I'm using 3" dryer vent tubing. Works ok but I'm getting chip blowback into the planer. Any thoughts on what could be causing that? I'm thinking the 3" hose may be the culprit.

  • @handyandy8671

  • @shaynesabala

    That's a great setup. I was wondering if doubling or tripling the screen might work for the fine dust. Also I wanted to ask if using a trash can with the rubber lid it comes with would work instead of making that led.

  • @johnterdik4707
    @johnterdik4707 9 років тому

    With your final filter I think you will be really surprises as to how much dust is really floating in the air (this is the dust that is really harmful), Just looking around in the shop you will not be able to detect the fine dust that is in the air. For much more effective dust collection build the Thien tophat, connect it to your dust collector and use 4" pipe rather than the 2".

    Looks great. I like how you show all the steps that go into the process, including the ones that don't work and then the adjustments you make to make it work. Do you have plans for a little extension table to catch the wood as it comes out? Sadly my Makita does not have the chip blower motor - they need to steal that idea.

    could you find a similar furnace filter to do the same that way if it gets ruined by whatever you could just pop a new one in? and it might be better at keeping it clean and for cleaning the filter as well... also looks like you need to make a holder for the hose to keep it out of the path of the boards as they come of the planer. :) Keep up the great videos! :D

    • @IBuildIt
      @IBuildIt  10 років тому +1

      ***** Why buy a filter when the one I made works fine? The hose was in the way because I had the can close to the planer to get it in the video. Moving the can further away piulls the hose out of the path.

I have the DW734 and I was told your model has a built in fan to expel the wood chips and mine does not. I was wondering if your project would work for me? I have a shop vac connected to a Vortex Dust Right Seperator and with my 21/2 in. hose, I have lots of chips clogging and not expelling from the Planner. What do you think? Thanks, Robert

    We recently lumbered a 36" maple, a 36" white ash, and a 32" pecan. After drying, we tried planing with a Rigid (Home Depot) 13" planer with 2 HSS knives ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxIzvvTi3_Qc8JnVdYYRJCvuoDC4QjTzeL . This job was clearly too much for that machine. The pecan was particularly difficult, due to heavy mineral deposits, and a sharp pair of HSS knives would be consumed by a mere 3 boards. We were also having lots of problems from chip bruising, due to poor dust collection. The shavings came off like straw and jammed in the 4" hose.We bought the DW735 simply to be able to run carbide blades, which worked brilliantly for the pecan. However, we found it to be a much, MUCH nicer machine. It was far more rigid than the "Rigid" planer, and far more accurate as well. But what I liked most about it was the dust feed. This machine has its own blower, which shreds the "straw" like shavings as they come off the cutting head and helps boost the shavings into the dust collection system. No more clogs! It's also nicely sealed so that the internals stay quite clean. This is just a well tempered machine that's a delight to use. It literally cut the labor in half. Just another example of getting what you pay for.
