Jason, thank you for this video. As someone that has always wanted to have a woodworking space and soon will have a space, this is all excellent information.

[@alanr745]

I'd love Nordfab, but man, the price...and I'm a hobbyist. Jason, one note about your PVC setup: It was more than just setup wrong, it was designed/setup with minimal knowledge of the airflow requirements needed for good dust collection. This is the problem with everyone running 4" PVC to work horse tools. 6" and well-over 1500cfm is what is needed. 4" PVC can't do that, and neither could that dust collector. Good upgrade! I would get that collector off the ground though, so that inlet would not be in your walkway. That might be more trouble than it's worth though.

Great setup, the only thing I don't really like about the Harvey Dust Collection system is that the intake comes out from the front...but other than that I have heard good things about it's performance.

[@dynastywoodworks]

All about preplanning where to put it so it’s not as intrusive. I put mine in the corner of the shop

[@-Jeremiah-]

I had the same thought but after more thought I came to the same conclusion as Dynasty did. Though if a shop is already set up and operational (like Jason's) it leaves you in the position of putting up with the space loss or totally rearranging the entire shop. And let's face it, 14k is probably a line item that gets vetoed when a shop is just getting set up for the first time.

[@dynastywoodworks]

@@-Jeremiah- agreed, all depends on what matters to you the most. His shop is pretty big so it’s probably a non issue

[@bw1532]

Can you put it on the other side of the wall, so the machine is outside. Might save the noise and space at the expense of sucking all your conditioned air outside.

[@InFlamedParlysis88]

100% Completely efficient.... Well, except for the ducting elbow jetting into the walkway to bump into.

[@SMD_N_LMB]

I was thinking the same thing. But I couldn't find a way around it (no pun intended). What would you suggest to make this better? Rotate it 90 degrees, buy a different set up?

[@bw1532]

It should come with a vertical pipe by design.

[@rosshovvels5305]

Im guessing any tighter of an angle would restrict air flow and hinder dust collection so to make best use of space available hes done the best he can?

[@RocketSauce666]

@@rosshovvels5305 Think he means that the dust collector itself should have a vertical pipe coming out of the top of the machine so that you don't need to run a pipe out the side.

[@rosshovvels5305]

@@RocketSauce666 oh yeah i 100% agree with that, it would have been the logical way to design the extractor unit to have a vertical drop feed rather than horizontal as it is 👍🏼

[@TreeOfLifeWoodworking]

Omg pvc doesnt explode. Stop spreading lies people

[@christophertstone]

@John Oster If PVC caused dust explosions in home workshops, we'd see one by now. Even at one in a million, we'd expect a few explosions per year. It doesn't happen.

[@TreeOfLifeWoodworking]

@John Oster exactly what Chris said. MAYBEEEEEE this happens in the largest of industrial units. But NOT in woodshops we tend to know. Theres literally no known cases of this but everyone spreads the same myth. I read of shop fires due to dewalt chargers every couple months - never a pvc explosion (no matter what term you wanna use for it)

[@shawncalhoun1363]

It looks like you left the cut section facing against the flow of the dust, which will cause dust to build up on that cut lip. You might want to make sure the cut end of the ducts are facing towards the dust collector to ensure max flow and no areas for dust to collect inside the ducts.

[@Mikemalone7873]

[@petersnedeker3942]

It's like watching a video where a dude spends the whole video sharpening a knife and at the end he sets it down on the cutting board next to the tomato. WTF!

Great video! It might be useful to add a duct opening on the floor, that way you can sweep up after machines/chisels/circ saws that don't have a dust hookup and push them right into the collection system. Food for thought!

[@motor2of7]

And nobody can point to an actual garage-level “event” involving static in a dust collection system. Your PVC was just fine from a static perspective.

it is an industrial grade product. It is not for home shops. And the nice thing about these is that if you ever decide to sell the piping, you get back about 70% of your money.

[@docwaring]

[@austinstephenson9877]

I believe he said he used a separate company for the consulting

[@scubaman2288]

Airpro sold the ductwork and did the design. We only charge a deposit for the design and this cost comes off the final order. So it’s basically free as long as the duct is ordered.

It's been over a year now since you installed the dust collection system ( installed July 2021); it's December 2022 now. Can we get an update video?

[@lightaces]

There is no documented case of static fires in a small shop setting. Even without a ground wire. This myth is nonsense, and causes many woodworkers to think central dust collection is out of their price range or too complicated. It DOES create static, but not enough to cause a problem in anything less than a large industrial facility.

[@simonfairall5122]

I find myself wondering if dust collection would work better if the duct work was underfloor, avoiding the large vertical sections from machine to the ceiling and back down. I know that wouldn’t be possible here, or in most shops, but if someone was building a new shed and pouring a slab, should that be considered?

Clamp together piping is completely overpriced.

[@philstevens9914]

I’m saying this out of concern. You are covered from head to toe in dust and you don’t have a mask. It’s ironic because this is a video about dust collection and the most important part of dust collection is the safety it gives you. A 10$ mask could save you from all that dust you inhaled doing this video. Again, I’m not trying to be critical, I’m just concerned. I hope you consider my comment.

[@scottkrosser9233]

Why would you take down old duct work without respirators on? Great that moving forward you won't be continuously exposed, but the job you did exposed you to several decades of dust at one time. For a smart guy this was not your best moment. I do love your woodwork. Keep up the great videos

[@marconieto4770]

If you want to spoil yourself some more, you should check out GRIT Automation. We can automate all of your Nordfab blast gates or any new or existing metal blast gate. With manual gates it's very easy to have one open that shouldn't be. With GRIT you just turn on a tool and the entire system configures itself, as well as turning your collector on and off automatically. Gives you more time to work instead of checking your gate configuration and turning collector on each time you use a tool. GRIT also creates a level of safety by giving you the ability to lock and unlock your shop tools with the press of a button. This is great if you have curious kids that like to press the buttons. Much more to GRIT but just wanted to let you and others know we exist. Thanks!

Coupling not nipas your connecting to add too same as if you run to the end off a pipe you add a coupler to join too. Be better to use a cooler as you would on a boiler flue it opens to fit round the diameter and its about 2 inches wide has to self tappers that you screw to the corresponding other end and compresses with a spongey strip for a good seal. Then you drill two small self taping screws to secure from flexing. That price for ducting bowled me over. Should off gone for flue liner its exactly the same, and a 5th off the price. I'm from UK so all I get is American stuff on KZbin and I'm a gas engineer so do loads with flues ducting waste etc. Retiring Oct and I am getting my woodshop together got to keep busy. Love that extractor but bit overkill

I almost pulled the trigger on a G-700, but after watching Bent's review, I decided against it. I didn't like the slow start up from the VFD as I frequently turn the DC on/off. I decided to go with an Oneida V-3000 instead. Absolutely amazing unit, and I upgraded from a 2-stage Harbor Freight. The difference is night and day, a proper DC system is a must have. I completely underestimated how much of a difference it can make.

This is more than just a housekeeping issue. He is still young and repiratory illness is a hazard for wood workers. The bags on most dust collectors don't catch the particles that are most damaging to your health, which are as small as 0.3um.
