Great Project. Bit how is this emptied ?

[@Abi21mac]

Excellent work but I was wondering the same. How will you empty the collected dust.

[@wxguy84]

How do you empty it?

[@toughgamer2960]

pretty sure this is just for show - you can't really use it :D

[@allkraftdesign6120]

Hi 👋 its definitely not for show, I'm still using it and it works brill, builts can look nice and also do the job they was made for! It's a minor adjustment to fit an emptying hatch to it. Thanks for your comment 👍

[@jmmg8082]

Very good work. Thank you very much for the work taken to display the video. All the best

[@allkraftdesign6120]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed!

[@peterdonaldson1]

Just one question. How do you empty the collection box when its full without taking the whole thing apart again?🤷

[@allkraftdesign6120]

Hi that's a Good question 👍 was meaning to fit a hinged door of some kind to the side of the collection box, it's a simple enough job but just never got round to it, hope you enjoyed anyway!

[@PatchworxStudios]

Than this device has no purpose and was a waste of time and matterials.

beau travail 👍comment s’appelle ta machine à joint ???

[@allkraftdesign6120]

Hi, thanks for the comment👍 the welding machine is a leister triac ST hot gas welder

[@Aquaculture_Solutions]

Very nice build , will you share your welding skills again ?

[@allkraftdesign6120]

Hi, Yes will definitely be posting more content in the future!

[@shazindahlan1016]

What's that grey colour rod you used to join and paste acrylic sheets?

[@allkraftdesign6120]

Hi 👋 the clear plastic is PVC and the grey filler/ welding rod is also PVC, Its called PVC 3 core welding rod, a 3mm diameter filler rod is also available, hope that's helpful 👍

[@igotbricotools2035]

Good welding skills 👏 Is there any Hot glue gun for the PVC round rods ?

[@allkraftdesign6120]

Hi 👋 thanks for the kind comment! do you mean hot air torch or glue gun

[@igotbricotools2035]

@@allkraftdesign6120 u just use the Hot Air , i ask about a gun like the 12mm rods glue plastic Hot gun .

[@allkraftdesign6120]

No there isn't a glue gun for PVC. You can get pvc glue and also there is a welding machine called an extruder but they're super expensive

[@maurosantos1238]

Excelente demonstração com o artefato de acrílico o qual é transparente. Dessa forma podemos verificar como o ciclone funciona, e ao mesmo tempo os resíduos caem no fundo do recipiente.

[@allkraftdesign6120]

My pleasure, glad you enjoyed 👍

[@alkutil3807]

How about a clear plastic bag on the inside, then use a magnetic flange to make a door overlay? Just a few ideas so you can empty this excellent dust collector!

[@allkraftdesign6120]

Hi, Yes that sounds like a great idea! I was going to put an emptying hatch on it but hadn't got around to it yet, that could be the next video🙂. the PVC was from a plastic sheet supplier, if you want some names and numbers let me know and il pass some on to you. If I was ever to make another cyclone it would be out of polypropylene, its less brittle and you could cold roll the cone, the only downside is you can't get transparent polypropylene. Thank you for the message 👍

[@colormeblooodred8500]

@@allkraftdesign6120 I think the best option for cone is polycarbonate, 2-3mm thick will be enough. It's toughest of all plastics and also transparent

[@johnpettitt896]

How do you get the collected dust out?

[@allkraftdesign6120]

Hi 👋 I've been separating the cyclone from the catch box to empty but in hindsight I should have fitted a hinged door of some description 👍

[@simonworkman9962]

Nice to see highly skilled work 👍

[@alkutil3807]

BTW, where did you order the PVC from? Or did you buy local?

[@garybush2671]

Take a look at Lowes. They cut too but $$$$ ... I'm looking at Mr Amazon..... I'm looking to make a couple like these but very small for scrollsaws. Noise and mobility are the two keys. I like the videos with the snap lide tupperware rcvg bins. CLEAN.

[@no_more_free_nicks]

This is exactly what I was searching for :D

[@KitsuShadow190]

What tool is that your using to "weld" and tack the parts together?

[@allkraftdesign6120]

It's a leister hot air welding torch

[@nigeledwards5833]

The best looking dust separator I've seen. Awesome job, but I'm just wondering is it too complicated for the average DIY'R to attempt. Good job though 👍

[@allkraftdesign6120]

Hi nigel, thanks for the message👍 no I don't think it would be to difficult for a DIY'R all pieces can be cut with a jigsaw and some practice with a heat gun for the welding, if you need any advice on anything just give me a message and I'll be glad to help 👍

[@穗羊下凡]

​@@allkraftdesign6120 Is the material PVC or acrylic? For welding part, is the stick has to be the same material as the cyclone box? What degree of the temperature for the welding? Thank you very much!

[@allkraftdesign6120]

Hi, Yes material is PVC. The welding stick is also PVC. All materials are the same, temperature for welding= 250°C - 280°C. If you have leister welding torch position dial between 4-5. Thanks for the message👍.. hope that's helpful

[@-First-Last]

@@allkraftdesign6120 Can I ask you please, what is the angle of the cone (to vertical) ?

[@allkraftdesign6120]

@@-First-Last Hi 👋 its been a while since I made the dust cyclone, il measure it up and send information over to you later, thanks

[@MadHalflingInventor]

great looking build, nicely done :) but it looks like a right tricky bit of effort to get that pvc sheet into a cone, I might have never welded plastic but I have some experience heat-forming it, if you made the cone from poly-carbonate instead, it heat forms at a low enough temperature to just put the sheet in a domestic oven, then get it out all floppy and wrap it around your cone, easy (just put it in the oven on a sheet of silicone topped with baking paper so it doesn't get marked by the metal shelf). Or if you want PVC, why not buy a 6'' PVC pipe, then cut a wedge out and heat it up to form it into a cone, at least then the shape is half way there to start with, it might be easier? that second point is just a theory so it might not work in real life...

[@eddiegallacher2652]

I used an orange traffic cone and a clear plastic dinner plate. Lots of silicone on the pvc pipe used to connect to the cone. It worked very well. I'm not sure a square bin is as good as a circular one.

[@MadHalflingInventor]

@@eddiegallacher2652 traffic cone, good idea :) there was me over-engineering a way to make a cone when you just use an already existing cone! the simplest ideas are the best ones

[@allkraftdesign6120]

Hi 👋 thank you for the comment! I didnt just make it look tricky it actually was tricky, but only because I didn't have the appropriate tools for the job.. but definitely wouldn't want to put people off with my poor effort! Heat forming PVC is super easy if you have the correct gas blow torch to get the heat into the plastic, it becomes very pliable and usually stays that way long enough to do the work that needs to be done. Apologies for my very poor effort. Thanks again for the comment!

[@ReyLamurin]

I don't think I've seen anyone better at using a jigsaw.

[@jadymorris2479]

Cutting pitched cone for cyclonic action On flat sheet draw large radius, draw small radius Calculate dimensions in Excel or any spreadsheet. First calculate flare angle Use result to calculate Large CUT Radius & Small CUT Radius Then calculate degrees of sweep AKA rotation angle Once cut will form a perfect cone per your dimensions provided. Flare angle =ATAN(0.5*(TOP DIA - BOTTOM DIA)/HEIGHT) Large CUT Radius = Top DIA /(2*SIN(Flare Angle)) Small CUT Radius =Bottom DIA/(2*SIN(Flare Angle)) Rotation Angle in Degrees =360*SIN(Flare Angle)

[@Abi21mac]

You made it so air thigh that you forgot to show us how you will empty it.

[@allkraftdesign6120]

Lol.. I know, many people have commented on that, wish I could take it back😄 but you can see from the plastic fabrication process that it would be very easy to retro fit some kind of hinged door! Thanks for your comment 👍

[@allkraftdesign6120]

Thanks👍 I've been emptying it by separating the cyclone from the catch box which isn't a huge hardship but defo could be a little easier.

[@jerichojoe307]

Holy volume gradients. You need a better editor

[@contessa.adella]

It looks fabulous, so kudos for that…but you have explained almost nothing! Most folk won’t have your fancy air welder…so show us with a soldering iron and hot air gun; and what is that plastic filler stick? You say nothing about choice of cone angle, diameter or height. You CAN’T make it as big as you like…if you expect it to be efficient. Too big and the airflow gets lazy with poor centrifuge, too small stifles flow and the whirling wall of debris risks getting pulled into the rising centre flow. We need to know your decision choice. I was surprised how thick that sheeting was!

[@allkraftdesign6120]

Hi , apologies for the lack of information! The cone sizes are 170mm top 70mm bottom 300mm Height Both pipes were 60mm diameter The weld rod is 3 core PVC which is triangular in shape, you can also get a 3mm diameter rod and both can be transparent to suit the material if desired. The welding gun I use is just a hot air gun with a nozzle on the end, not sure about a soldering iron it might work I've never tried that method but the end result would probably look hideous. The sheet is thick but pvc is sometimes brittle, If thinner material was to be used on the catch box at the bottom would require lots of stiffening to bulk it up with the negative pressure inside, but you could definitely use thinner material for the cone if you wanted, you could also use a different material like polypropylene or Polyethylene they are both less brittle & more malleable but they're not available transparent. Hope that's helpful.
