This week I walk you through my DIY Dust Collection System with Shop Made Blast Gates and a floor sweep. I’ve learned a lot about dust collection over the last couple years. Specifically, don’t use pvc cement and don’t use any hard 90 degree turns anywhere in the system.
I used the cheapest option of dust collection pipe in both 4” drain pipe with and outside dimension of 4.215” and 6” Thin Wall PVC with an outside dimension of 6.25”. I’m going to try to blow up a dust collector in the coming weeks and run some tests on the system. Let me know what questions you have an I’ll answer them in a future video. And no, I didn’t ground my system and don’t plan to. Thanks for watching! Please subscribe, like comment and share. Cheers!

I'm doing something very similar and have been at it for like 3 weeks now back and forth between home Depot and wood craft, plus a few Amazon orders that got returned. I was really happy to hear you say you're only using tape for some joints because I've got a few areas where that would save me some headache but I wasn't sure if I should and needed some encouragement to rationalize it! I'm doing a floor sweep too but one thing I'm doing you might want to consider is lining the front lip with magnets so I can try and stop any metal from getting sucked up into the system.
I just came across this video and right off the bat I love that you dealt with the no grounding of the PVC pipe, I can't believe how many clueless people actually believe in the static blowing up a small shop dust collection system. I have never grounded mine and I will never do so either as it's 100% useless.
Thank you for the floor sweep/support column inspiration!
That thing is awesome!
@@katzmosestools the floor sweep is cool! Going to do that for sure.
Nice video, I’m doing my shop now running 4” pipe. It’s a small shop and I tested the longest run and 4” works.
For your floor drop add a magnet strip to catch any screws or nails, etc.
For mounting pipe make cap and saddle type and screw together to go around pipe.
To get rid of that static electricity run wire along outside of pipe raped along pipe, secure to pipe with self tapers going inside where the flow is, ground this to dust collector motor base. Keep it simple
The pop on your elbow will like it when it touch’s the pipe lol after a long run collecting.
I think your statement about cost of the plywood over steel held true until 2020. I think for someone who knows how to weld the steel blast gates can be made cheaper and lighter than the wood ones, but you've still made something very creative and cool.
SO MUCH YASSSS in this video, starting with that awesome sticker on the dust collector! But seriously, it’s time someone did the “Myth Busters: Dust Collection” video. Love what you’ve been doing lately and can’t wait to see what’s next!
Thanks bud!
I’m sure you’ve received a comment like this multiple times but typically you would want to avoid reducing before the wye’s. When you reduce from a 6” to a 4” and then use a 4” wye, it minimizes flow. To optimize the system you can use a 6”x4” reducing wye and then a 6”x4” reducer after the straight. I know it’s not as cost effective but it’s just the advise of a plumber. Appreciate your videos brother! Keep up the good work. 👍🏽
So fun to see you giddy about dust collection. Nice setup!
Your DC system is one of the best looking ones I have seen. The floor sweep was a great idea, you won't regret putting it in your system.
Thanks bud!
So....where is the video on trying to blow up the dust collector? You got me all pumped for it, and I can't find it anywhere in your channel!
Without reading through all of the comments here(over 200 at time of posting), I had a thought on your blast-gate mounting woes.
Dude, you just have them backwards! Take that curved edge of the pie shape, leave a little more meat on it, and flatten it off. Double-duty the bolts and you can add metal strapping, brackets, etc. Hell, you could even use a piece of 16g sheet metal, in place of the washers, fashioned into your bracket. All that being said, I like what you did with the redesign.
Swinging rather than the usual sliding is a huge improvement.
Great design, I'm going to build some of those blast gates. I added rare earth magnets to the top lip of my floor sweep to catch any nails/pins/screws before they rattle through my system.
Thanks Johnathan. You're always teaching and we're always learning.
I really appreciate it bud!
True, Grounding is unnecessary. My best innovation is the addition of micro switches at each blast gate. Opening the gate throws the micro switch and automatically turns on the fan. I had a floor sweep and I liked it, but I took it out after James Hamilton AKA Stumpy Nubs cautioned that if you suck up any metal it can spark as it hits the metal fan blades and smolder in the sawdust and later ignite a fire. I’m not willing to take that chance.
Good to see your Maker's Station coming together. Can't wait to see more. You need to get more of those Makers that are going to be using it involved in the setup. :)
Hahaha we're saving the A Team for the big projects. @shaunboydmadethis has been a big help
This is a great setup Jonathon, very well thought out. I also built the rotational style blast gates. I'll never use anything else. You mentioned attaching them to the wall, I built all my gates to attach to the walls and ceilings while holding up pipe, I've got two videos on those builds if you are still looking for ideas. Your new shop is looking amazing!
Great channel bud and I'm a new subscriber. You gates are amazing. Great design. I really had a tough time figuring out the shape of the rotation around the center whole while having enough mass around the center hole so it didn't break. All while trying to build in the correct angle of the stop. Took some thinking and about 100 bucks worth of plywood to get right but I'm really happy with them. I'm happy to send you a set of plans and vice versa so we can compare notes. Cheers my friend!
@@katzmosestools Thanksk! Sure thing, happy to send you some plans or dims. Ya, I figured mine out in SketchUp, but I also built some less successful gates first as well. (Sigh) If you are at Workbenchcon this week, we can compare notes in person!
I'll be there!
Probably the best video on dust collection I've seen. Thanks.
My pleasure bud!
To quote Wayne and Garth while Garth has a vacuum to his brain “sucking my will to live”, your dust collection system “sure does suck”.
I’m excited to see the progress in the new shop space. And your excitement shines bright. Strong work.
I love that movie
Also , the one place you do want to ground is your roaming hose. It isn't dangerous but with extended use you can sometimes get a very uncomfortable zap.
I saw a cool idea to add magnet(s) to floor sweep entrance to grab any screws or metal that might get drawn in. If sparked from hitting impeller or something else it can smoulder and/or ignite in fine dust or chips
Nice work man! I highly, highly recommend the Rockler Dust Right system for your quick disconnects. Works awesome and is very easy to move from tool to tool.
Thanks for the recommendation JB!
When you do you wall supports, think about taking advantage of the transition on the 6" to 4" pipe, you can just make a piece that it sits into that I would think would work pretty much everywhere in your shop
Great idea Richard!
I love the confidence in confronting the trolls. 😂🤣 My dude 🤜💥🤛
hahahahaha I love the occasional sparing
Thank you sir. Still 9am on the east coast!
Cheers my friend!
Now we need a video showing us how to ground our dovetail jigs. Coming on 4/1/19. 🤣
I have been a cabinet maker for 32 years, the company I have been at all that time has never ground it's dust collection in a area 80,000 square feet, they also use 6" flexi hose for all joints. I really hope you can try and prove all the doubters wrong
Mark my words my friend I will.
Funny that you mention grounding, I was thinking about that subject as well, but for a completely different reason (I'm not worried about blowing up the system). I wondered how well grounding the system would help with static buildup in the lines. Less status might equal less sawdust sticking to the charged walls? I just wondered if it would help with keeping things moving in the lines.
One tip I saw elsewhere for bonding your pipes together was to use some silicone caulk. Just put a bead around the outside. Seals it up, but easy to get rid of if you change the system.
You going to tape a thin strip of magnetic tape to the floor in front of the sweep? It would help catch washers, screws, etc. that always end up down there.
Great idea on the tape. Just might have to do that. Not too worried as it's a cyclone but would be cool to grab lost hardware
Good point about static build up. It depends quite a lot on how dry things are like the sawdust and the air. The way to check is to stick a bare wire down in the airstream and run a load of chip/dust through the system and hold onto the other end of the wire. You can get a nasty surprise. Metal ducting is fairly cheap and solves the static problem if you ground at least one point of the system. The danger is more from fire than anything else. That is assuming no one is stupid enough to try and suck up some flammable solvent vapors. (do that outside)
Magnetic tape is historically quite weak so a better alternative would be to take a piece of steel shim stock put it under the floor sweep with a Neodymium magnet on the outside that is removable so you can retrieve your screws, cotter pins, nails, etc. I have seen more than one grain elevator fire so my stuff will always be grounded.
@@stevemcentyre1570 You are comparing a grain elevator to a home shop dust collection system....those are vastly different things...that's like comparing bicycles to Semi's.
Awesome video Jonathan!
Just a thought . Ever considered useing pieces of inner tube to seal the joints on your dust collecter system . Easy on off, air tight. Tire shops will give blown inner tubes away
The floor sweep +1. Really nice Version 2.0 system. A shop is a ongoing work in progress. Add something and the dynamics change.
Nice. Cool idea with the coloured rope on the blast gates. If you want more visibility with the blast gate you could paint them red and green so that one colour would be blocked from view when it was opened or closed. Tim sway did a mod with big yogurt pots on the on each machine so that the flexible pipe would fiction fit on and could be quickly changed from machein to machein.
That's a great idea. Thank you
Those are without a doubt the beefiest blast gates I've ever seen. :)
Dust collection is on my list of things to do this year funds permitting, I like your blast gates they are probably the best I have seen and those flexible dust hose things on the pillar drill and router look pretty cool too 👍👍👍
Thank you my friend!
I have a nice push broom that I would now like to make a floor sweep for. :)
On the Green/Red with the rope - I did something similar with my plastic Blast Gates. Using vinyl sticker paper I would stick the name on the tab end of the blast gate on a red sticker. On both part of the gate that slides inside, I would have a green sticker with the word "Open" which would only be fully visible when the gate was open. If the gate was partly open, it would be obvious because of the word.
thank you Jonathan very helpful and i love your channel
I’m interested to see the dust collector blow up. I’ve seen powder going through tubing spark before because of improper grounding. I do agree it would be a slim chance and people worry too much about it.
I'm talking to a guy who's a big UA-cam scientist to see if he wants to collaborate on the video. He seems interested so hopefully we can get some better explanation.
Dang that planer is no joke! Glad everything is up and running smooth.
Seriously. Thanks again for your help bud
When you do your dust collection test vid, I would like to see you test out if there is any difference between your fully rectangular box-shaped floor sweep, and one that is triangular. It looks like there is a possibility for dust to gather in those back corners.
Your wire hangers to the steel structure actually offer some degree of grounding which could easily improved as you add more hard supports...you most likely wont blow up or burst into flame, but you could get a few zaps when you touch it...maybe
Hahahaha my brother and I spent around entire childhood zipping around the carpeted living room in socks and zapping the crap out of each other. I'm sure I'll live hahaha
Nicely done Jonathan 👍
I'm disappointed there were no "this thing really sucks.....gentlemen... mind out of the gutter...." lol great vid man. epic
Another benefit of using tape for the joints, easy to unclog jams or clean out if ever needed.
Agreed!
floor sweep what a great idea
Great system. Love the gates and the big planer
Floor sweep! :-O My new must have! :)
Awesome system
You should have a shop tour video
It's coming
You ground wood systems to reduce static to allow chips to travel faster and not stick to the walls. You ground industrial systems, particularly when grinding metals, to avoid fires.
Great job Jimmy.
I noticed the issue with securing the blast gates to the wall.
Way to go on the static/safety troll comment. I have had the safety police troll me on my system for not grounding. Thanks for your video. Nice system!
Great tips again. I can't wait to see the attempts at blowing up a dust collector.
Going to be a blast muahahahaha
did the same thing for my blast gates except I didnt use coloured rope, I just painted the portion thats visible bright orange to see if it's open or not
You might not be able to blow up the dust collector but the static electricity still will hurt a lot if you get close with your hands to the ducting. That could be solved with a few screws in the pipes connected to a grounding object.
My brother and I spent our entire childhood rubbing our socked feet on the carpet so we could zap each other. Didn't hurt then and I'm sure 25 years later it's not going to be a big deal.
Great video - just about to set up my own system. Looking forward to video on router and drill press dust collection ideas. Thanks.
Very nice shop and video.
FYI, dust CAN cause fires and explosions, and people get injured or killed. It is NOT impossible. Moving large quantities of dust and air through pvc DOES generate static. Mitigating factors: dust management - you are not allowing large concentrations of dust to build up in the air of the shop; and ventilation appears to be good, which helps dilute concentrations of dust; size, or scale - it’s still a relatively small space compared to the large, enclosed facilities where dust related accidents happen.
Please provide a link for the “wand” on the router table.
Best wishes.
Looks great! Can't wait to see more
Cheers bud!
The sweep is sweet👏
So awesome!
When HVAC guys install clothes dryer ducting, there is a limit for the length of pipe the can use. And in calculating the length, they told me that EVERY elbow counts as 5 feet of straight pipe. So if they have just 2 elbows (which is common), then the flow restriction from them is equivalent to 10 ft of straight pipe. A much bigger difference than I realised!
That's super interesting. I'll check that out
Awesome video, I ran 4" sewer and drain in my small shop but cannot find a decent price reducer to drop down to my tools.
Blow up a dust collector he said. What that poor dust collector ever do to you. Haha. Thanks for the informative video again. I've got a simple wall mount unit from grizzly with only one branch that goes to a dust deputy kind of like I think you used to have. Works good for my little use.
But he called me names
@@katzmosestools mmm hmm that's what they all say. 😁
My friend locally is a trim manufacturer for our home improvement stores where I live and make custom stuff too, their cyclone blown up, but almost 100% rare.
Nobody was hurt though, and none of the tools for manufacturing in the building that was on fire got damaged.
I don't hang around his plant though so I don't know all the tools that are connected to the vacuum, and he does grind custom router bits so they do have sparks. Who knows maybe almost all of the reports were actually caused by a metal spark, I haven't ground my system also, I figure just keeping my system clean will near 100% prevent the theory of it, and my workflow isn't enough yet in my life to even think about it, if it happens to a plant in China I would be speculative because I've seen videos of their plants and some of them let their employee's smoke near the equipment.
Glad to see you're going to do some myth-busting on the DC grounding. There are just sooo many, erm, old husbands' tales on this topic. Clyde
Totally agree
That looks like a fantastic system!
Thanks bud!
Great job! I agree totally on the 45 degrees unions. how can you talk that much without breathing haha. thanks for the video.
What model of Jet dust collector did you buy. I couldn't see it anywhere in the listing of materials. Thanks and great work.
Great video. A lot of good tips!!
Please do a video on your drill press dust collection setup.
Definitely coming
Hey Jonathan - Love this video - trying to conceive of my dust collection system now. Would really like to know what is the blue (with yellow nozzle) flexible, shape-holding segmented tubing (at about 7:34) you have on the router table. Can you direct me to where I can get that component? Thanks!
Have you ever tried the rockler quick connect system? That is what i use for mine and I really enjoy it. I am curious on the quick connect you have how often the tube falls off, I notice it did for the example. Very cool video. I like the tape idea for the piping. It just takes one pipe change over to make that pay for itself to have it flexible.
If the section to the cnc and bandsaw is heavy just build another floor sweep, if you have to build something to hold the weight it might as well be useful.
Great idea bud!
@@katzmosestools If you do put in another floor sweep and space allows, put the blast gate around waist height and a wye just below it with a reducer and a smaller gate so you could attach a coil of vacuum hose like you were discussing
A very nice system.
Thank you sir!
Question for you on not grounding the dust collection. I am not worried about stopping a fire so much with the grounding but was wondering if you get static shocks at all when touching the equipment without the gounding? Thank you and thanks for sharing your system. Definitely using the tape technique!
Ever think about using DWV instead of PVC?, Lighter, no taping, easy to change out, cheaper.
Hi, just seeing your video. Why did you reduce 8 to 6 right out of the dust collector??? When you even stated later reduction is a no no. I know the 8in pipe would be more $$$. I would have run it as far as possible before going to the 6in . I you could run the 8 along the ceiling and reduce it to 6 going down the walls. From there reduce as needed.
Sweet setup, thanks for the info! 👍🏻👊🏻
Thanks bud! Great to see a comment from you that's not just emojis hahaha
@@katzmosestools 😁
I’m a newbie to central dust collection and after watching your video I noticed your comments on not grounding your pvc runs. You stated that you weren’t grounding them because “it’s impossible” to blow up a dust collector. My question is - I thought the purpose of grounding pvc runs was for fire prevention due to sparks and flammable saw dust. Please advise. Sure as hell don’t want a fire in my new pole building shop after finally pulling the trigger and getting out of my 13-year rental shop! Any insight to this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks 👍🏻
Great video but I'd be careful hanging it off the fire suppression system, if that breaks it won't be pretty and expensive to repair/replace.
thank you Katz
you talked about a spiral cutter in your planer, I've got a DeWalt with 3 blades. I was wondering if I can switch my planer over to a spiral cutter with out buying a different planer. ie a spiral cutter.
Great ideas! Thank you!
My pleasure bud!
I've been in the commercial side of woodworking for over 25 years. In that time there have been 2 dust collection systems "blow up". It is rare that it happens, but I would not say that it is impossible. It's not all that hard to ground the system, just do it for peace of mind.
That's in an industrial setting. A single person or even a hand full of people can't make enough fine particals to meet the correct air/fuel mixture needed. There is a reason the only times you really see stuff blow up is in grain silos or industrial settings.
If the hanger wire ties are connected to steel, then you have a ground, right?
Just for the record, 4" shrink wrap tape works and looks better. You can order it online in white 8mil. Sticks to PVC like crazy and is stretchier (is that a word?)
Thanks for the tip. Ill have to check it out.
What level of filtration would you recommend for new hobby woodworker. Where do you start
Nice one!....it looks like your sticker collection will form on the dust collector...I saw Blake’s there
I put them on all my tools with visable faces. Fun to promote
Jonathan Katz-Moses I agree, looks like it is a common theme in the group....I will have to start my collection of Woodshop stickers
Yeah I got 6” sewer pipe straight out of my 1.5hp dust collector
My clearvue cyclone body generates the most static and no one ever trolls about grounding the cyclone itself.
Where do you get the quick disconnect clamps for the 4” flex hose???
Thanks for showing your dust collection system. Building a system for my 20' x 19' garage shop. Going to build a 6" main before necking down to 4" or less at my tools. Trying to find 6" fittings for the drain/sewer pipe. Did you just go to your local home improvement store, online, or some industrial store?
I have a dedicated 1.5hp Delta 50-850 for my cnc and want to install it on a platform in a "closet" above my Blackbox Hurricane vac. Ceiling is just 8' so the only this will work is if I'm able to rotate the blower outlet to a horizontal position. It seems like this would be more efficient as it eliminates one ell and feeds in from the bottom. Can you think of any reason I shouldn't rotate it? Thanks
That's a great system! I can't happen to find in the comments your dust collector, I can see that it is Jet, which model? Thanks
Where did you get the articulated joint for the router table inlet?
I might have missed but what DC is that Jet? 2 or 3hp? I'm upgrading my small garage shop and wondered if jumping to 3hp is worth it. I don't want to do this again😁
Thanks for the very informative video. I just bought and assembled a Laguna C Flux 3 and plan start to use it with a 4 inch hose only. But I want to set up a system with PVC pipes. The question I have for you is, why did you not use like a main PVC pipe and then hoses to the individual machines? I guess in order to close the unused ones? Or is the airflow in the hoses not as good as trhough the smooth PVC? Thanks
What is the name of the dust collector? Very impressed
Here did you get the adjustable blue and orange vacuum arm?
Looking for this too please!
Can anyone provide a link for that white mount on the loc line dust want at the router table?
Glad to see your shop is coming along ! Can't wait to see some awesome builds with other makers ! Best of luck , my woodworking brother from another mother ! 😎
Thanks brother! Coming along nicely!
Does this (very impressive) system have any issues with the smaller diameter pipes farther down the runs? With my small 4" collector, it has no power drawing thru a 2.5" hose. Lots of info as to why out there and I understand the issue, I am just curious if you experienced the same issues and if so how you solved them. Thanks for the awesome content and #ShopEnvy
It rips right at the router table. I would say it collects 20x the dust my old shop vac system had. Thanks my friend!
