Cutting circles on a circular saw with a jig like this has cost many fingers

I’m confused about the perforated outflow tube. How long is it and how close to the baffle is it? Seems to me that lite dust could go from the cyclone effect directly to the outflow tube and therefore getting into the shop vac dust filter, defeating the purpose. Chips and heavier dust would fall to the bottom of the dust collection bucket, but maybe the lighter dust could cause trouble at the shop vac. Was the separator baffle made of plywood to stiffen the bucket preventing collapse if the intake got clogged? A simple relief valve would prevent the collapsing bucket.

Nice concept and video. I couldn't access the article though. Is the website still up and running or is there any other way to get hold of the document. TIA.

Typical irritating and loud background music!

Lose the damn music. A good video doesn’t need useless music.

Bad sound mix, nice idea....

what might haver been a good video , spoiled by boring and irritating music, watched 2 mins then turned off

Music? and louder than voice.

I love it. This might be the solution to my integrated dust collection for the mobile all in one workbench I'm designing. Thank you. Subscribed!

Good video. Good descriptions and camera angles. My personal preference would be to hear shop noises and the voiceover not the music. Each to their own.

Ingenious 😊

I came here to listen to a man talk about dust extraction, not to listen to music and compete with what the man says. Why must so many creators do this? It's frustrating

The music, way too loud.

Very professional

What was the pressure drop like though? I would worry that this might cost a significant amount of pressure loss as air is restricted and dispersed as it travels through the baffle.

Very nice job

im really confused. whats the point of this? all you did was removed the bucket and filter from the shop vac and added a home made cyclone and bucket to the equation and made it harder to drag around the shop to vacuum.

Interesting. Apparently you're not a lifer but the music sucked. I'll never figure why people think adding music is a good idea.

Great idea, however please get rid of the music.

Edit: this is his last video, 1 of 2. The sound mixing is a mountain too high and that you left it like this, without re-mixing the levels (knowing people were annoyed by it!) is sad.

Yes, good job of not trying too hard and keeping it clear and truly helpful. Nice job. Another new subscriber you have attracted.

Did nobody ever teach you about volume gradients when making a video. I have to turn it up to here you speak but then get my ears blasted off when your music pops in on the time lapses. Down voted as recompense for my eardrums.

Why haven't seen this one before,... It's a pisser Thank you

this is gold people, save yourself quite a bit of money with this project, the best DIY Clone extractor I've seen so far

Clever. The perforated outflow reminds me a little of the Dyson intake. I didn’t hear the music.

Very nice! Keep up the great work.

Great project. Very accessible. Have you tried lowering the inlet connection? e.g. towards the mid-height of the bucket.

Can I get a printout of the baffle cut out

Great idea....Redo the video WITHOUT the music !!!

Music loud. Talking soft.

Loved the video and loved the music! 👍😀

I would have finished watching if the music had matched the voice volume. I don't like turning the volume up and down every time you talk.

turn the music volume down it makes it unwatchable!

I've looked at a number of dust collector videos and you're the only one that has found a way of dispersing the air stream and reducing the air turbulence. Great job.

I think I'll be building this when I build a sandblasting cabinet to use as a dust extractor.

Sensible approach. My saltwater aquarium canister filters use the same principle to evenly suck water through the length of the pleated paper filters. I like your approach. 👏👍

Great job !! Simple, inexpensive and VERY effective !! Thanks !! You have a new subscriber !!

Nice video but the music was very annoying. I almost quit watching just because of your choice of irritating music.

Hello

Looks like a great project!

Nice work!

Pretty impressive!!

incredibly educational and wholesome video! Also, glad that your thumbnail is working now, I saw you through the comments 😊

Nicely done Carissa!

Awesome job Carissa! I loved your singing.

Nice. She hasn’t lost any fingers yet- that takes talent!

Adorable, Carissa is a natural little actresses and I loved seeing how to build a bird house.

Carissa is a natural! You too Jeff!
