Huck's DIY Season 2 Preview

So I am warming up this new season with dust collection issue. I go through the steps to make dust collection for my contractor style table saw. This is mainly for me to get used to the new camera and video software if it is boring I apologize for that….. The better ones are yet to come.

Decent. I did roughly the same to my Craftsman TS. I have the same DC. The fun part is blocking off the inlets on the front and back of the saw. There are a bunch of threads here on how to do that. Basically, you do something that blocks the front arbor tilt when the blade is at 90 degrees, but has to be removed when you tilt it. The back can be closed off fairly well within the height range. You don't want ALL the air inlets blocked or you get no flow, but you want a lot less than just the basic contractor saw gets you.

You need to improve the filter on that HF DC. 5 micron is no where near enough to keep you safe. You need .5 micron filtering. Go to Wynn Engineering and get a 35A filter. It will just attach right on to the HF DC.

You can also dramatically increase the amount of dust and chips going into the bag and not the filter by making a "Thein" baffle for it. http://www.cgallery.com/smf/index.php?topic=145.0 shows you how to build one that goes inside the DC.

I made it to the 4:18 mark of the video before I blew my freaking brains out. Huck, you look like a good guy, but you need to liven this up a bit. Take a couple shots of whatever you're dirnkin' and pretend you're interested in what you're talkng about because a lot of us are falling asleep half way through…

Welcome back Huck. The new camera is great but may be distracting you some what as you did not seem to be talking to us . But kept pausing and staring towards the camera. That said I have followed your videos for some time and have learnt and been entertained by them. So once again I thank you for inviting me into your shop and sharing your woodworking time and experience with me..

Mr. Hamilton, I apologize to your family for the causality….

brtech- I am very interested in this baffle and neutral vane. I read your post on it and you really have me curious about it. Even if your DC is purple which I must say is really cool, I might have to pimp my DC!
