Dust Collection - Basics and Setup -Woodworking

1st view.... 1st comment!!!!?

Great informative video. Thanks for doing the research for me. Now I know exactly what to do to have an efficient system.

Very informative. Thank you

Great video!!! 👍💯🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Good video! Looks like the small clear section of your cyclone fills up really fast? Will you be changing that out to a bucket of sorts?

Thanks. Very good summary.

Thank you for that video. I am planning new woodworking shop and want to include the cyclone system to my plans. I love you down to earth funny delivery

In your video demonstration, your baby cyclone seems to fill up very quickly. Have you used it under typical workshop conditions yet? How often do you need to empty it?

Great video and very informative... keep them coming

Thank you. I feel that most dust collection videos are not aimed at small, hobbyist shops - but that yours is. Thank you for sharing.

Makin a video about fire safety while standing inside a room with walls covered in firewood

Great information.

Great follow up to the cyclone build video. Thanks for the warning on fire hazards too, definitely not covered by others setting up dust collection systems.

I have COPD. I have to wear a mask when I work. I do a lot of work with cedar and the dust is dangerous for anyone. I found a respirator with a hose that goes to a filtered fan. There is always clean air coming into my mask.

I just noticed you need more tape measures 😂

I just wanted to let you know, you have a new follower and he thinks your the best, besides me that is, he wanted to say hi and would like to talk to you his name is Christopher, 9 years old, I am Mark his dad and been watching you a long time, I just need to know how to get better 45s on my planter boxes, I did watch your video but didn't work, got anything else, thanks

Really great information for us weekend warriors and hobbyists. Very much appreciated.
I started with a shop vacuum (Ridgid 6-gal) and the Dustopper. I bought a airflow meter to test things out.

Straight out of the vacuum, I got 180 cfm. Coming out of the Dustopper (or in, as the case may be), I was getting about 100 cfm. At the end of the hose (that came with the vacuum), I got about 80 cfm. With that in mind, I'd be curious what kind of airflow you get at the end of a hose with the sophisticated cyclone system in between the vacuum and the hose.

One advantage you have on your table saw is that it's just a tube coming off the blade. I have the Ridgid R4512 table saw that has a large cabinet between the blade and the vacuum connection. The 80 cfm was woefully inadequate.

I have since added the Dust Right 750 mobile dust collector from Rockler (before they added $250 to the price) and it works quite well with my table saw and router table dust box. I still use the shop vacuum with the Dustopper for my sander and it works great.

It's important for any woodworker just starting out, that ANYTHING you can do to minimize dust is better than nothing.

Have you ever tried a pool filter cover for your shop vac ?

Dust collection sucks

Very knowledgeable for such a young man. Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge.. Have a blessedday! (SA, TX.)

I saw this one first, but I'm going to go back and watch the other two. One quick question, regarding the PVC you say "install street elbows", but wouldn't it be better to install the sweeping elbows for a longer gentler curve?
PS. Great voice!
PPS. Liked and subscribed.

Thank you for all the useful information, I have subscribed! Do you have details on how you are collecting particles from miter saw? It’s a huge problem, how did you connect a hose? Again thank you!

Thank you. One step closer to realizing my dream of not spending three hours after every project vacuuming up sawdust and debris. I have a cyclone, but miter saws - especially compound miters - are notorious for sending the dust flying

Great video. When talking about pressure vs cfm, you should show a fan curve it is a lot easier to show someone. When changing pipe sizes there is a critical speed when the debris will fall out the air stream, if the speed is too fast the particles collide and fall out, if it is too slow, gravity will cause the particles to fall out.

The words are "life is a highway, I wanna RIDE it all night long" not drive lol

Hey what coupler did you use to connect your kobalt miter saw to your hose?
