Dust Collection Solutions for the Home Woodshop

[@oleboy4332]

One of the easiest to understand and complete video on dust control! Thank you!

I've read articles, watched videos and talked to people trying to learn enough to set up a dust collection system. This 1 video helped more than all of that. Great job, and thanks!

Thanks for the feedback!

This is one of the most comprehensive videos on dust collection I’ve seen, great work and thanks! Also, love the color coding of fittings. If only that could also solve the seemingly 4 sizes of 4” that exists in piping 🤦‍♂️

Thanks Caleb!

The best explanation of needs and what’s out there.

When I set up my shop Oneida was great at designing a whole shop system with drops to all my machines. It is a commercial system, all in it cost about $5,000. I think my lungs are worth it. I also built in an attic fan to exhaust dust and fumes outside, and an ambient air cleaner. It’s worth every penny. Stay safe.

Oneida is a great resource for all things dust!

I have a lot of benchtop tools - sander, jointer, etc. - with smaller dust ports, generally 1.25" or 1.5". What's the best option for these? The video says it's not good to hook up a proper collection system to these as it stresses the collection system, but using a shop-vac solution isn't great. Is it better to rely on the shop-vac and not break the system, or just hook up a proper DC system and deal with the inefficiency?

Ok, I need a little clarification. A 4 inch hose is maxed out at 350cfm (according to the chart in the video)? The speed at which that air is moving doesn’t change the cfm carried through the hose? I thought the “rule” was to get as much air moving through the hose as possible so as to carry the finer dust away. Starting with say,, a 1000 cfm vac would ensure that after the separater, the friction in the hose and maybe an elbow in the line that even though the air flow is reduced by all that that since you started from the vac with 1000 cfm that the pull at the machine making the dust is as high as possible ...say perhaps 500 cfm.

The chart referenced comes from Bill Pentz’s website. It’s my understanding the chart depicts best theoretical Q using a 1.5 hp motor and an impeller diameter, I think it’s 14”. The only way to generate more Q is to spin the current impeller faster or increase the radius of the impeller both choices require a larger motor.

The worst that Saw Dust Causes is Allergies no proof it causes anything but that, i think Dust Collectors which are pretty pricey are just marketing for expensive systems most people dont need. i have a Harborfreight dust collector and it works just fine i use 5inch pipe and all Machines are on one side of my shop so i have 1 long run of pipe.

You should meet the old timers who never smoked but have huge breathing problems from working in the industry . Look at saw dust like ground cinnamon . Cinnamon , when breathed in , coats the airways. It eventually closes off the lungs and the person slowly suffocating , dies. Documented cases of that. Though they were cases where the ppl were in a small room with the fine cinnamon permeating the air. They didn’t realize what was happening to them. Being in a grain elevator is the same. Many people have suffocated inside due to the large concentration of particles in the air. Wood working is no different. In a home shop you are unlikely experience a huge amount all at once, but is does accumulate inside you lungs. And once there, there is no way to flush it out. It keeps accumulating . How many times have you had a coughing fit or needed water due to your throat getting dry while doing woodworking?
