Building a FUME EXTRACTION System for Metal Arc Spraying! | Shop Made Tools

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

We're excited to get this system built, setup and running so we can continue making the most out of our new metal arc spray machine! Something we'll probably look at changing in the future is the exhaust fan to one with more performance and higher airflow volume - but now that you've seen how it's done, let us know any suggestions for improvements in the comment section!😉👍 📽Check out all the Metal Arc Spray & tooling videos here: kzbin.info/aero/PLUzFN5xVei7XuEBsdRHE8ao12MHmYPvyg 🔔Hit the notification bell so you never miss our new weekly video. ✍Leave a comment below with your questions or thoughts. 🔓Get Early Access & Ad Free videos in our Patreon community: www.patreon.com/cuttingedgeengineering 🛒Check out all our CEE Merch here: www.ceeshop.com.au

The deflection shield is actually genius, I'm a hvac tech and a cone in the centre would actually make all fume extractors more effective by reducing the extract area to increase the perimeter airflow, massively increasing your capture velocity near the edges which is exactly what you want. I'm gonna test it out myself in work to measure the differences and do some smoke visuals. Thanks a bunch!

[@marioduarte7658]

Hi Curtis, as a CEE fan I would like to make a suggestion: If you reverse things, leaving the exhaust fan at the source and not at the end of the duct, the efficiency will be much greater. Congratulations and greetings from Brazil

[@hhg7832]

@@marioduarte7658 exactly. It's a blower, not a sucker. The ducting also is not designed for suction. It works but not as well as it could in reverse.

As a former electrician on a US Navy ship's firefighting team, I fully concur.

[@remlapgarage]

Yes, I just commented the same haha

[@MrPdiggity]

I was thinking that also

[@Matt-my7pz]

I don't think so, it requires more airflow. It's hard to suck as there is no direction where blowing has a focused airflow. I was wiring a metal fab shop that also painted the grain legs, fertilizer plant and seed cleaning structures and catwalks. They tried to do a down draft system with 3 large 3 phase fans sucking through 14" pipes out of a vault (like mechanic shops) in the floor. It sadly failed miserably and they did have supply ducts from above to help with directional airflow so they were not starved. But the direction was ever so slight it was conpletely ineffective. It just required much more volume of airflow but for a big bay it's almost impossible. They considered a cyclone which is a very large/ expensive fan for moving grain. A tunnel effect is required where all the air that is soiled is ran through a tunnel, not just sucked from open room. Computer/ PCs are often pathetic by DIYers trying to cool them as they don't have directional flow, just a ton of fans fighting each other allowing the heat created by CPUs GPUs and memory to stay and swirl at best. Less fans and more attention to focused airflow "washing or shearing" away the heats is much more effective making the case tunnel. A totally perforated PC case is a bad thing versus a solid wall case with intelligent fan placement direction. This is why I believe spray booths are only big enough for the items to be painted with ginormous airflow. All the moving air is collecting paint In Curtis' position it's obviously impossible to create a tunnel, but a bigger fan would expand the "directional airflow" further towards the lathe. Regardless he looks pleased with the current setup and that's all that matters. Armchairing a lot here but this has been my experience. I have three was more smaterer friends in their 50s that deal with all things PCs and the photos they share of DIY PC builds brought to their shop for hardware issues is hilarious how useless they are.

[@adriaanbooysen4504]

Hi Curtis, Adriaan from South Africa. I did a lot of arc spraying on a lathe before. I made a long bracket from the lathe saddle to mount the gun. I fixed the trigger with a cable tie. Used the feed of the lathe, and I had good results with a consistent layers. Just an idea for big and long shafts. Nice program.

[@LimitedIQ]

Bracket sounds a brilliant idea, or at least a spring from the ceiling, to hold the weight of the gun, but probably spring would interfere with your winch.

You make a lot of tools yourself in order to be able to carry out corresponding jobs. I really appreciate that, here in Germany you often hear the saying that workshops can't do things because they don't have the machine, the tools or the staff that could do something like that. Especially when things get a little more complicated. You have the complete package, an extremely talented craftsman, a suitable machine park and if something doesn't fit, it will be made to fit. I'm really impressed.

Back in the 1960s an Atlas Copco compressor mechanic was on site setting up 6 units, overnight his tool kit was stolen. OK the normal tools could be bought off the shelf but it was the specially adapted spanners etc. that only did one job on one model of machine that had taken years for him to make. Luckily some were found nearby, our company gave him a cash payment to replace his kit.

[@oldtruckswork8989]

Nice project. I always enjoy your shop built tools. Couple of comments if I may. 1. Filters are only really effective up to about 500 feet/min. You will of course get particulate in there, but its really just catching the big stuff and acting as a spark arrestor. A better material selection would be metal mesh filter material. I can foresee some hot material falling on that carbon filter material and causing it to smoke. If the embers make it through the filter material (and they will), it'll burn holes in your flex ducting. That material is probably fire resistant and self extinguishing so you won't have an active fire, but pinholes in the ducting reduces the draw by the fan as the pinholes leak air into the duct. 2. That center deflector isn't really doing anything to enhance the draw of your air intake. If you had mounted the exhaust fan intake behind the deflector plate, you would get more even draw around the plate. as it is you are really only drawing off the bottom and any smoke and material that is at the top of the hood is probably escaping as there isn't adequate velocity at the top of the plate to draw it down other than particulate by gravity or deflection. 3. The fan static available by those small blowers is low and the pressure drop induced by the fan flex ducting is high. You will get better performance overall out of the fan if you stretch out the duct to make it as smooth as possible. 4. When using a distributor/deflector plate like that, you typically want to have the air velocity at gap between the hood and the plate at 100 ft/min or more. This ensures a good 'draw' at that gap. Again, your air intake is at the bottom rather than the back, so you aren't getting much performance from anything other than the bottom. In the end, you have something that works for you and is MUCH better than where you were before. Keep up the good work!

[@InSaneITrust]

Another easy way to increase airflow is to put some spacers under the filter, so air gets drawn through the entire filter surface, instead of only the circular cutout above the duct

[@Taroodin]

Is it any difference in the efficiency of the fan if it sucks or blows through the flex ducting?

[@Enonymouse_]

​@Taroodin some may want to consider a push-pull system, there are ways of modeling throughput & flow but it will require some tinkering and gages to figure out. Utilizing the venturi effect may yield some improvements too. Other oddball ideas ive had included using a Tesla valve to moderate flow.

[@Enonymouse_]

Great tips!

[@jonathanfenne4948]

Good post. I'd trial a few simple baffles to better distribute the draw around the deflector. Or chop it off the legs and trial it the other way up. Filter at the top.

[@frankely6378]

Another great build. Consider adding a couple of hinged extensions to the front of the hood. Top and right side would catch more smoke and splatter, bottom would help protect the ways and simplify clean up. (A quick dusting of a flat surface instead of having to clean the bed and/or blanket.) And hinging them would allow them to fold out of the way for really big pieces and for storage.

[@G40s_WW]

Just a quick tip from someone that designed sheet metal parts for a couple of years. When you have bends meeting up at one spot like on the reflection shield I would recommend to cut out the corner and put a small round hole there. Diameterwise I would recommend 1,5 x sheet thickness. Nonetheless great build 👍🏻

[@bushratbeachbum]

To allow easier fit up? Or something else?

[@SeanBZA]

@@bushratbeachbum Allows a tight bend at the fabricator, so that you can have them meet without a bulge, and also allows the bending brake to get the angle consistent right to the corner. Then on assembly you weld up the hole to form a perfect angle, even if you had a slight error in the cuts, it allows it to be removed.

[@briandolbec37]

@CuttingEdgeEngineering Great extraction hood. As a retired HVAC mechanic. I can suggest a few small upgrades to improve it. On the bottom filter opening, if you add a small lip (20-30 mm, 1 banana) up into the hood area, it will stop pulling in more of the metal particles into the filter, keeping them in the bottom and still keep cleanup easy. It may also help pull slightly more air from the top. Of course an even taller lip will help pull more air from the top For your filter, it looks like a standard 2 inch height. If you make a pleated filter frame, it will increase the filter material area lowering the pressure drop across it, increasing air flow. That also slows air flow through the filter which can improve its filtering ability and increase run time before clogging. Lastly, I saw that a lot of the spray was deflecting upwards, perhaps an extended top to over the lathe could help reduce cleanup around the lathe, pull more into the hood. Great video as always..... If you need any advise on how to make a pleated filter frame, Thin flat stock made to fit inside your filter box, weld small round bar staggered top/bottom, in from top/bottom the thickness of the filter material, end bars in about 10 mm from sides/middle of height to allow room for the paper clamps Then you weave the filter material around them, just use paper clamps or thin aluminum strips pinched on at the ends to hold it in pace. Weld on a pull handle for removal instead of that cover.

[@dadgarage7966]

That filter is tiny. Welding and paint booths as well as portable fume/dust extractors have lots of filtering area. Down draft is an odd choice as well.

[@a.karley4672]

I had been thinking similar thoughts - but just from the look of things, not any HVAC experience. A pair of sheet-metal, uh, sheets - hinged along the top and bottom edges of the collector/ hood ; - sized to (just) fit into the collector/ hood ; - the lower sheet rests on the lathe bed to protect it (until experience shows, I'd probably still use the fire blanket too) ; - the upper sheet would need support arms clamped to the frame sides somewhere. At the end of the job, tilt the lower sheet back to the collector body to drop the particles into there for the dust pan. Sweep up, then fold everything away and stow back into it's nook.

[@tonyn3123]

You should put hinged flaps on the front edges so you can widen or narrow the catchment area. And fold them flat out of the way when not needed.

[@chrisoakey9841]

And if you put a cone with baffles before the filter material it might last several jobs.

[@SeanBZA]

Can always add them later on though, as the metal is heavy enough to handle a set of hinges there, and with removeable pins they can be taken off when not needed, or have varying length ones. Back of unit perfect place to store them as well, just add in a pair of pins and holes in the flaps to match. Just need 3, 2 narrow ones and a single wider one.

[@boostedbuiltgarage]

That's a nice TV stand you made there Kurtis🙂

Dude, I can't remember if i've said it, but if I did it bears repeating. You look great, man. Your entire face shape has changed with your dental work and you look happy and healthy and I'm so happy for you man. I know dental pain is a whole other type of pain, and I know you've got to be feeling so much better. I hope you're well, and I love your stuff.

Brilliant as ever! My love to Homeless!

[@marcinhajek4549]

Looks like big TV 👍 I love Your videos! Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱

[@thomasmacpherson5236]

Looks like you’ve have just made a large old style 1980s tv on legs Kurtis. Very inventive

[@StevenStyczinski-sy8cj]

I really smiled 😊 when you put the plywood in the bottom for storage space. Maybe a handle or two on the back side for pulling it around. I noticed that if you were spraying a smaller part some of the overspray could go directly onto the filter material and maybe catch fire. Perhaps putting a deflector there or extending the tube a little. You missed a spot when you were painting. You should have ground down the weld on the tube before you painted it.

[@eyeofthetigger7305]

Always satisfying to see you work! Nice hood, cool tool.

[@POTThaesslich]

finally this has become a woodworking channel!

[@bruceo4973]

I'm disappointed Kurtis didn't use a grinder to trim the plywood.

[@bblbuilding5011]

Small modifications like a hood, couple of wings, maybe. All good and the best

[@Omsip123]

Yeah, hood might be an easy but effective addition

[@BrooksideFarmBarreMA]

Here we go! Good morning my friends!

Nice built,you may increase efficiency by putting a foldable extension on the top of the receptacle

[@robertmanley7556]

Thanks again for an excellent video. Also, your children are the best!!!🎉

[@mikeallen266]

You have got to be the best fabricator in the world, especially with the help of Karen 👍

[@rotormotor13b]

I love the attention to detail. I seen that corner and i said it had to moved. You could have left it and it would have been just fine but you didn't you went to thr effort to unpick the weld and make it perfect 👌

[@marsh_usa]

I am sure Ron Covell would have approved of your gas bottle bending jig

[@joe4542]

I know you'll probably just get a sparky to look at your bandsaw, but from the fact that you've been using it previously without any issue, and the sound it was making - simply sounded like the motor was stalling. Believe you guys have same mains as us in UK, not knowing if the saw is single or three phase - But if single, I'd suggest the motor start capacitor is out of tolerance, easy swap, if three phase - You should check supply/connections as one phase could be missing. Great Vid as always CEE!

[@Bakoder]

I think his saw has a 3 phase motor. At 13:16 you can see a large plug on the right. So... one phase is missing somewhere :)

[@user-Carl-2964]

On my vent system I put the fan on the unit and ran the hose outside to a mount frame to keep it in place. This increased the draw to a point it was almost too much. A possible Addition to your unit would be a top deflector, for larger jobs, attached with a couple of hinges to flip in place and a couple angles that swing out to support the deflector. Possible flip out side panels added to the top support angles.
