shop vacuum #1: DUST EXTRACTION , THE MIDDLE YEARS

I just got a 2 hp HF DC and this gives me a great idea on how to run my ducts. Thanks a pant load buddy!!!

That dust coll. system is really coming along nicely! Some really good ideas there. I’m fav’ing this for future use.
Thx for sharing and I’m looking forward to future upgrades.

Nice job David. Not knowing anything about dust collection, other than using a vacuum, I was wondering why the 6” tubing down to the 4”. Less resistance?

thanks guys .

rich ,
actually going down slows the intake ,
i can run two tools together ,
say the table saw and the jointer .
and it is cheaper !

Jealous.

Good reminder on a downdraft sanding table. I need one of those, and I should be able to whip one up.

Always a list of stuff to do,

Dust collection seems to have a life of its own .... Once you start it never ends ….Great job .. Norm

David some great improvements. Once you get them all hooked up you should be breathing a look better air.

But all the critters outside will be hacking.

Lookin’ good…...I can even see progress in the declutter effort.

you should be able to clean your neighbors place with that setup! Happy dust collecting!

-- Doug, New Mexico.......the only stupid question is one that is never asked!........don't fix it, if it ain't broke!

Indeed an excelent job so far, I would just reccomend to seal the seams of the metal ducts with the aluminum foil the borg sell for that purpose, also the joints in any of the curved fittings.
That way you can squeeze the least bit of vacuum.
But that’s just me….

Hope you do get the dinars or rupies soon enough so that you can finish your project…

Keep safe

Thats more high tech then my 70’s hvac. Where do you put the dilithium crystals ?

-- Thank You Veterans!

Looking good David
It looks like your really getting control of the dust. It’s really going to cut down on your fiber in take when you don’t have saw dust in your food. LOL.

Looks like your having way too much fun.
Shop is cleaning up nicely.
Is it quiet with the blower in the floor?

-- Safety first because someone needs you.

looks great David

thank´s for sharing your trouble
but I have no teleporter you can loan
if I had I wuold have teleported it right away
my advice is let your apprentice do the dirty
job and then you just have to sit down with
som twinkie´s and comment what he has to do
remmember you have to relax did´t the nut doktor told you that

Dennis

Looking good David!
Surely you have caught the bug. Know I did when I got my DC. The plus is you’ll notice the shop is cleaner and the lungs stop complaining….
Have fun…cause it never ends.
