🟢 DIY Dust Filter - my Woodshop Dust Collection System Upgrade

[@johannventer9759]

Your woodwork and ideas are very good! Loving it! For the dust collection, you may want to research centrifugal ideas between the airpump outlet and the micro-dust-filter box, in order to separate most dust before the micro filter box. Don't be blinded by only a conic shaped centrifuge. There may be other shapes that might catch particles smaller than 80 micro metre, which extends the filter cleaning time significantly.

I will share my experiences with you. 1. my dust exhaust system is a source of terrible noise 2. it also sprayed the smallest dust fraction, maybe not such a lot as yours, but enough that after work you could write notes on everything with your finger. ;))) Therefore, I built for it a box measuring one meter by two from floor to ceiling. I made double walls and placed 10 cm of mineral wool between them. At the very top I made four "windows" measuring 20x80 cm for exhaust air. In these "windows" I placed filters, very similar to yours, but with one difference. I added HEPA filtering fabric on the outside. The filter frames are made so that the PUR foam and HEPA filter can be easily removed. EVERY WEEK I wash them in a normal washing machine at 40 degrees Celsius with prewash. After spinning, they are dry enough to be reinstalled straight from the washing machine. Since the construction of the filtering and soundproofing box, there is no dust in the workshop and the noise level has dropped significatly. Consider HEPA fabric, you won't regret it. After week of work it is covered with a thick layer of very fine dust from the inside. Which, in my opinion, is irrefutable proof that the HEPA layer makes sense. Additionally, I bought old, a chipped school board, which I neatly cut with a diamond and made a nice frame, from wood of course. I also bought regular school chalk - for notes! It workes!!! :)))

Hi, This has proven the use of a filter. Diy, cheap, easy done and (most important) good for the lungs. Thanks for sharing. Willy from Belgium. 🙏🙏🙏

Отличная идея! В начале ролика, по обилию пыли подумал, что быстросъемность фильтров необходима, потом понял, что пылесосить этот ящик можно сколь угодно часто. И всё таки полагаю, что проблема вторичной пыли в вашем случае в несоответствии мощности улитки, размеру и конструкции циклона. Есть программа конструктор систем аспирации. Если вспомню у кого видел напишу сюда. А ваш фильтр, безусловно хорош.

Great design, works perfectly for your workshop

[@olexandrhorb7947]

Great job!

Fine particle sawdust like this can also behave almost like combustible gas; the air gets saturated, and a spark is enough to cause a fire, even an explosion. So, not only is it better for your lungs, but you prevented a possible disaster. Also, check with an electrician near you, regarding the machines, they should be properly connected to a common ground, to prevent electrostatic buildup on the machines

I mostly watch videos without clicking on the watch button and instead speed read the captions. Much less data charged. So I didn't notice that your video was silent. I think you did an excellent job, very good design and journeyman work. I am getting ready to build a dust collection system and your design does look like a winner. I will say if I copy your design I'll make the filter elements easily replaceable. I think a double filter on both sides and some kind of pressure gauge on the box. When it's time to change filters throw away the inner filter, move the outer filter to inner and put in a new outer. That said remember, if you tinker with and improve mechanical things long enough eventually you ruin them. I want to mention something that bugs me. Your shop. In a lot of videos the presenter is in a spotless, spacious fully equipped work space. Jet, Powercrafter, Laguna, Woodcraft tools. And I'm almost disappointed in my own set up. My table saw is a 1950's 12" built under license Delta Unisaw. I bought it for $125.00 and it came with a spare motor that I sold for $100.00. It's got the old Jet type fence with tube rails so I'm unhappy with the outfeed table but I'm putting together the saw and my router table. My lathe is again a solid cast iron 1950's Sears Craftsman, ten inch swing over bed unit that runs zero to zero. I built a brute of a stand for it and installed a three horsepower DC treadmill motor. It runs infinitely variable from five to three thousand two hundred rpms. Point is my shop looks a lot like yours. Larger point is I see guys like you with shops like yours and mine and other guys with Walmart grade tools, all doing journeyman design and excellent work. Thanks for bringing a day in and day out perspective to our vocation.

How to get rid of the humming sound

[@HyperactiveNeuron]

Awesome design. Are you able to remove both ends of the filter and wash them or do you need to replace the foam material entirely? Either way it seems inexpensive and definitely worth while. I recently was working with PVC coated plywood, I'd never seen it before, made a circular saw rip guide out of it and it is awesome. The saw has almost zero friction in the guide for perfectly straight, zero clearance cuts BUT the dust created, no doubt, was not good to inhale... PVC and wood dust... That cannot be good for you or at least I don't want to risk it. Vinyl in your lungs sounds like it might be pretty bad for you. The guide/sled turned out so great I went and bought more of the PVC-plywood because it's baby smooth and flat as a sheet of glass. It's only ½ inch thick and moderately flexible but 2 layers of it is more than substantial for a 7 foot long guide so that's not bad at all considering my guide is only 10 or 11 inches wide and it's very stable and does not bend at all. I just need to seal the cut ends and it's done and needs a place to hang on the wall. My preferred local Baltic Birch supplier only sells in 5" x 5" sheets and they don't have a saw in their whole huge warehouse 🙄🙄 Weird but whatever. I needed the guide so now I have it. I think I need to start a GoFundMe page for the company so they can get a quality saw & blade so people like me, that don't have a truck can get their material in their cars and not unsafely strap a sheet to their roof and drive across town on a windy day after their battery powered saw runs out of juice LMAO 😅😂🤣😜 That was scary as f*#k!!!! I thought I was either going to lose/destroy the lumber or possibly kill someone with it. It was still cheaper than buying a partial sheet and I have extra Baltic Birch left over. Now I have my sweet guide/sled that easily gotta in my car (Toyota Matrix) and simply have to measure in both ends, clamp down my guide and saw baby saw and me and my wood and me are in the car and on our way. I can breakdown an ¾"x4"x8" sheet in minutes with near perfect, zero clearance cuts in just a couple of minutes in the parking lot with a circular saw 😱 It works great with a 24 tooth ripping blade but a 40 tooth blade on plywood gives even smoother cuts on 1 inch thick or more material with little or no need for sanding and definitely no tear out.

Thank you for your comprehensive and helpful story, my friend. I didn't washed this filter yet, just shaked out, it was enough. But when time will come i can remove them from inside just pull out a few staples and filter can be pulled out. Thanks

[@southerngrainworkshop8057]

Awesome! What did you use as the filter? Also, does the fine dust just collect in the box?

[@GRINwood]

i used a 20mm thick foam rubber for this filter, but i still think that it won't filter well all time, one day the fine dust will seep out through this foam rubber. Any idea how to improve this filter. No, most of dust collects on the filter's surface

Your original system wasn't a dust collector. It was a dust spreader. Literally did more harm than good.

People who lack the mental prowess to tackle projects such as this. Make me sad... :(

[@anynomous2024]

So you mean to tell us your dust collector did not come with a filter bag? Im surprise youre still breathing!

[@shakaama]

how on earth is this DIY? first of all you don't talk to me. Half the stuff I have no idea what it is. I don't have a full on santa's workshop in my bathroom. you might as well have made a DIY elon musk rocket video, that's how close to doing this, I am. It's so far out of my breadth and league, it ain't even funny. but i still can't get over the not talking part. do you sound like a girl or something?

[@PatrickSteil]

Rude. He made this video in his own free time. He can decide what quality he uploads. You didn’t pay anything for his time. Maybe just politely ask him questions.

[@shakaama]

@@PatrickSteil how is this rude? and who are you to call me rude? it's a super low quality video. you don't make an instructional video, without instructions. that's a waist of time.

[@PatrickSteil]

@@shakaama This content creator doesn’t work for you. Rude is rude. Why would he feel like making more content with comments like yours. “how on earth is this DIY”? Rude.

[@shakaama]

@@PatrickSteil let's just agree that you're wrong and i'm right.

@@shakaama I’ll agree that you are not following the rules of being decent to another human being. Peace out.
