Gyro Air G700 Dust Processor Unboxing and StartUp

The Gyro Air G700 Dust Processor is a game-changer for dust collection in woodworking shops! This video shows in-depth the process I went through to unload, uncrate, set up and fire up the first-ever dust collector for the new Next Level Carpentry shop. With a bit of 'Egyptian Engineering' I was able to handle the unit by my ownself despite its 500lb shipping weight and 450lbs machine weight proving it's possible for a one-man operation and ideal for small to medium sized shops.
WARNING: INSTRUCTIONS CLEARLY ADVISE AGAINST UNLOADING, UNCRATING AND SETUP OF THE G700 ALONE. Although I was completely comfortable with my safety during the process, viewers are strongly advised to follow manufacturer instructions and get assistance when uncrating and setting up a Gyro Air G700 or any heavy equipment... in other words "DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!!"
Note: I say in the video that the filters on this machine are for '1 micron in size'... when they are actually rated at 5 microns. I have no issue whatever with dust migration out of the unit but wanted to clarify this. Next year, the new version will come with HEPA level filters (0.3 Microns) and a remote control.... but at a higher price.
As an Official Ambassador for Harvey Equipment and their G700 Dust Processor Next Level Carpentry is offering FREE SHIPPING for a LIMITED TIME on units purchased through the Next Level Carpentry website:
www.nextlevelc...
This is a $149 value for anyone who is ready to add or upgrade to this revolutionary new dust processing machine before the end of 2018!

That is one beautiful machine! You just skipped right over the usual machines and went for the NASA version. Great investment.

[@NextLevelCarpentry]

Great comparison... it really does seem like a NASA machine! BTW I'm no longer an ambassador for Harvey but still love the machine and have no regrets for the association. In case your interested, pricing has dropped dramatically to put the G700 in a similar price range to Oneida, et al so I think it's really worth considering as an option if you're in the market. Best, Matt

@@NextLevelCarpentry I'm not worthy and never will be. But I'm glad to know that the price has dropped so that more people have access to it. But it never occurred to me that it wasn't worth the money. The quality is clearly there.

[@billbyrd9845]

Wow! $2600. Maybe I am a potential customer!

[@NextLevelCarpentry]

@@billbyrd9845 I see Harvey working to find footing in the marketplace with the cost to Value thing. My initial choice was made on quality and performance that I needed at any price due to my shop size configuration and location. With the lower more realistic price I think more people will consider it as an option. Near as I can tell the biggest drawback is the location of the intake duct, near the floor so make sure that configuration works for your situation. One of the reason it works for me is because of the flex duct that's also necessary for my shop configuration. All in all it's a great setup but it is rather unique and unconventional... and don't forget that Christmas will be here eventually! 🎄😁😎

@@NextLevelCarpentry Im going back and fourth between harvey and oneida's 3000. What are your thoughts on that comparison? I know the Oneida has more HP and CFM which draws me towards that one but the Harvey is a little cheaper.

Nice machine. Great video. I once moved an entire 12' x 15' shed onto a concrete slab that had been built after construction of the shed. [My father-in-laws-idea. Don't even ask.] I used the Egyptian method you describe and it worked like a charm. It is an excellent technique with many applications, as you have shown.

Gotta love them Egyptians... and fathers-in-law, right! Thanks for the comment Jerry! Best, Matt

[@bridgetl.303]

Thank you very much for this video! I really appreciate the scientific approach to moving the shipping container around. The thing that is slowing me down in purchasing one of these is the daunting task of getting it down some steps into my basement shop. Your clever use of “Egyptian Engineering” has given me some ideas on how I might get it into my shop. I do have a steel I-beam in the middle of my shop that holds up the center of my house and will make an excellent purchase point to raise the machine off the pallet, but getting it down the stairs will probably require a manpower team. There’s room to move it over the door threshold, but it’s sheer weight will be a problem moving it. Thank you for giving me some options for getting it where it needs to go!

[@peem1244]

Hi Matt, another super video and a new toy to play with...i bet the Egyptians could have used one of these cuties. I liked your gantry and comealong engineering but if i'm right you left the brakes on whilst lifting 'Dusty' and this gave me a little concern. I've used similar gantries and the product trainers emphasised that the brakes should only be used when stowing the gear. When lifting a weight the gantry should be allowed to adjust its centre of gravity, hence 'brakes off' mode. Super machine and i expect you will have years of easy breathing ahead. Sta safe Matt and keep up the good work. PS...did you study Egyptian engineering at MIT by chance?

[@NextLevelCarpentry]

Hey, thanks for the comment Pedro. Point well taken about the brakes. I can imagine 'issues' with tipping forces being transferred to a gantry when picking an off-center load and will add this detail to my bag-o-tricks. Even though I got by with this particular pick it could cause problems in other situations... better to be lucky than good is a poor credo when working in potentially dangerous conditions. PS My Q.B.E. degree (Qualified by Experience) is indeed from M.I.T., how did you guess?! Best, Matt

[@ronh9384]

Very cool Matt!!! Wish I had thought of using a scaffold like that. When i unloaded my tablesaw and jointer from the pallets years ago ( yes I saved all the wood.... some of which was very dense) I rented a Toro Dingo with forks on it and already had some lifting straps. It worked great and I was able to do it myself. I have the same jointer as you and the slid out lift bars are great. I made a gantry of sorts for the tablesaw with captive spreader bars so the straps didn’t put pressure on the saw table and it worked great as well. Your idea is much better. I have come-a-long with a high enough rating that would work fine. Nicely done Matt !

[@NextLevelCarpentry]

Thanks Ron... it's been a LONG time coming! Best, Matt

[@NextLevelCarpentry]

Nice... Gotta do whatcha gotta do, right Pete? Best, Matt

[@benchippy8039]

I just see the cost of it! Can’t wait to see if it performs in line with the cost. You’ve gone from no dust collection to high end industrial spec air scrubber! All or nothing! I’ve recently started to take air quality on site more seriously since a recent incident involving asbestos insulation board that wasn’t identified until after we’d ripped it all out. Don’t think we’ll going to this extent on site tho!👍👍

[@NextLevelCarpentry]

Ben, the folks at Harvey Industries developed this machine in part to deal with 'portable' dust collection applications so, despite the cost (and weight!) of the unit it's uniquely suited to mobile applications. Another feature is that, for all its suction it takes only a 20 amp 220v circuit even though its inverter has it running on efficient 3-phase power. I don't begin to understand that but know it has way less 'amp surge' on startup than my air compressor. I'm sure the cost of the machine will be a limiting factor for some but, for me at least, it was kind of 'go big or go home' 😎 since, ironically, the extra $1K cost over the Dust Gorilla I was about to purchase was insignificant due to the smaller size, noise and power requirements. My main hobby is single track mountain biking where reducing one pound of weight costs roughly that same $1K and, to a point, is totally justifiable (to me) for similar reasons. But that's just me and there's plenty of latitude for other opinion for sure. Best, Matt

[@P010010010100101]

The cost has actually dropped significantly!

[@andyabraham7269]

It's always good to see, a person smart enough to work by their-self. Anyone can work by them selfies if they will just take time to think it through, (I have set 30' trusses by myself). That is a great looking dust system.

[@NextLevelCarpentry]

Hey William... can just see you setting 30' trusses by 'yourownself'... hard to believe what the younger 'us-es' were able to do, isn't it? All in the curriculum of a degree in Egyptian Engineering! It's a wonder we live to talk about much of it! Best, Matt

[@affromma]

Before I realized I would be better off with a sawmill, I build a knock-down gantry from the same scaffold, a 120V winch, and straps to lift and move logs over to a sled laying on a roller stand, which I then fed through my bandsaw. [I had used the 'come-along' version a few years earlier to move my 8" jointer.] It felt like cheating ! "One back, too many toys." Anyway ... that unit is a beast. Fortunately, my shop is 2-story and, after a couple years messing with with the Grizzly G0548ZP DC, I removed the 1 micron cannister, flipped the ductwork around, moved it upstairs, and ducted it to the outside. No muss, no fuss. I'll go research your unit ... was curious as to the WC / CFM numbers. You never did zoom in on the manometer dial; when you first powered it up, I didn't think I saw it move; later maybe I did? I see a lot of sanding coming up with your new OE unit. Keep up the good work ! And thanks.

[@NextLevelCarpentry]

"one back, too many toys"... good one, Benny! With zero experience in dust collection I don't know how WC/CFM numbers rate and apply well enough to comment on their relativity. The main thing that sold me as far as air flow goes is that, because only 1/10th of 1% of the dust ends up going all they way through to the filters the rated CFM has no negligible drop during use. I liken it to using a shop vac for sucking up sheetrock dust: with only a filter and not a bag in the vacuum, after the first minute performance drops by what, 80%, as soon as the pleats are packed with powder? This was proven out after I cut that whole pile of 3/4" melamine... the bins were half full of dust the consistency of bread flower with only a few teaspoons of dust in the filter cleanout ports. I need to educate myself more on the manometer setting/performance to reply. It does move with changes in the power setting and which machine it's hooked up to but I don't fully understand the relationship. What I do know is that there's no issue whatever with it's ability to suck dust regardless of the setting... Best, Matt

[@affromma]

Matt, I'm not sure who took the lead ... the manufacturers of DC systems or vacuum cleaners ... in describing 'sucking POWER". I know, when I think of POWER, both "Volts [WC] at Amps [CFM]" are keys. It's accurate to say the specs are produced by measuring the pressure drop across the impeller with no back pressure, i.e. entrance and exit losses of any kind. We know that's not 'real world'. I do know that when I originally assembled my DC [virgin 1 micron can filter on top, an empty, billowing bag on the bottom, and 'as supplied' ductwork between the two], the maximum CFM I measured across the impeller was 1350 CFM [20% below the spec]. After moving it upstairs in my shop, removing the can and exhausting 'au naturel', and removing a 4" x 6" elbow in the ductwork downstream of the impeller, I was able to bump it to ~ 1,600 CFM ... but now I have higher duct losses from the longer 6" trunk line going downstairs. Almost a "zero sum game as I see it. For me, three things stand out in the Harvey's specs vis-a-vis Grizzly: [1] the impeller is capable of producing a significantly higher pressure drop; [2] the electrical powerplant is [significantly] more efficient; [3] I'm not sure why, with an only slightly smaller impeller, but with a higher top end RPM, the Harvey's "max air flow is only 1,100 CFM. Here are the specs on your new unit: Max. Air Flow: 1110 CFM Max.Static Pressure: 18-1/2" [that would be WC, i.e. Water Column] Max.Air Flow @ 4 inch hose: 700 CFM Impeller Size: 12" And here are the spec on my Grizzly G0548ZP: Max. Air Flow: 1700 CFM [stated as "Air Suction Capacity" ... whatever that is] Max.Static Pressure: 10" [that would be WC, i.e. Water Column] Max.Air Flow @ 4 inch hose: [Not Given] Impeller Size: 12 3/4" Note: a tornado typically produces a pressure drop in the range of 60 - 70" WC. [*] No pun intended, but 'm not a fan of "Star Ratings" on manufacturers' websites [where you'll find perfect scores for both units]. Why? One look at Grizzly's website makes you wonder why they don't have 100% share of every market in which they compete. All I can say as a New Englander is, had it not snowed the first winter after the Pilgrims landed, I wouldn't be as hard-nosed as I am; you're rarely going to get a 5-Star rating out of me and that's why you won't find any of my ratings posted on their website. Only saying.

Your going to miss the constant sweeping of the floor and vacuming every nook and cranny of the shop,,,,,,,, not!

Hey Paul... my old dust pan is nearly retired already! You guessed right about the machine hookup thing: I've ordered a few flex hoses that will be stored and deployed as necessary. I'm planning a video to show the setup once it's in place. You're intuitive in mentioning 'a couple small inconveniences' which I'm getting used to but, at the end of the day, the time I spend moving hoses is easily offset by time I don't spend cleaning up... at the end of the day. 😂😂 Best, Matt

[@davidconaway2830]

Good morning, I was looking at the G700 filters on the Gyro Air website. They list the filters as 5 micron filters. Is that correct......as for an otherwise fine looking unit, 5 micron could certainly be improved upon. I'd be interested in the filter MERV rating. Thanks for a great review and congratulations on the new acquisition.

[@NextLevelCarpentry]

[@DonsWoodies]

Very nice video, Matt. Hell, I've seen quite a few large machines moved in the machine shop I worked at and eventually owned. Mostly by professional riggers. A couple of them could take lessons from you on proper technique. Had to laugh at your comments about the audience engineers giving you grief. You've obviously been the recipient of some interesting comments in the past LOL. I'll be watching to see how the Gyro Air works out for you as time goes on. I am curious as to why the hose connection is on the side instead of the top though. I imagine it must have something to do with efficient airflow. Did Harvey aver mention why it is like that?

[@NextLevelCarpentry]

Great comment Don... much appreciated! You sense my bracing for comments from 'armchair engineers' correctly... you can't even believe some of the comments I get! It's mainly knowing there's sensible people in the world like you that keep me going at times... and I'm completely sincere in saying so. The low/side dust port is part of the design for a machine that's meant to be mobile and portable. They don't even recommend or expect the G700 to be hooked up to a rigid ductwork system. That's going to be a deal-breaker for some but it was a deal-maker for me. It's another of the 'paradigm shifting' design features of the machine that will probably end up evolving as time goes on and the huge benefits of low noise, power and footprint gain traction in the marketplace... time will tell. Thanks for your comment! Best, Matt

[@DonsWoodies]

@@NextLevelCarpentry Aha. The system being mobile and the dust port on the side makes sense now. I'm not anywhere near needing so much of a dust collector yet, so it isn't an issue for me. Just curious. And oh yeah, I would believe the comments you get. I've seen some KZbin vids from people that just make me cringe and comments that praise them for such a great video. Then really good videos like yours and comments from people that just show their arrogance and, quite frankly, stupidity. I recently responded to someones video pointing out in what I thought was the most humble and polite way possible that one aspect of what they were showing was incorrect. The reply I got explained that it wasn't wrong because of the type of tool they were using. Not only was that wrong, but it reinforced the original error. Sigh. At that point I gave up and chalked it up to arrogance on their part. Of course, I'm never wrong - well, there was that one time back in '73, but I later found out i was mistaken about being wrong. hehehe.

Hey Matt, Enjoy your vids! I WAS going to purchase a PFLUX 3hp, but not im not so sure....Does your machine have a remote? I think the biggest deterrent to me ever using dust collection, is having to walk over to the machine and turn it on and off.

[@NextLevelCarpentry]

Hey Larry, I didn't get a remote with my G700 as it's only recently become an option. New machines are available with remote operation so that's a good option for you. I just got the components for an add-on remote and will show the process in an upcoming video that will feature the hose/blast gate setup I ordered. I was about to pull the trigger on an Oneida Dust Gorilla but realized in an instant that a Gyro Air unit was MY best solution but there's a lot of factors involved so do your research to be sure you're satisfied before committing to any dust collection system. It's a good chunk of change regardless so it's got a lot of potential for satisfaction OR regret. The guys at Harvey are knowledgeable and eager to help you work through your decision making process and have the same mindset I do about user satisfaction. They don't want to sell you a Gyro Air if it's not THE BEST solution for your shop, workflow, budget, etc. We're biased towards the G700 and enthusiastic about all it's features but not to the extent as to sell you something you're not happy with.

All the best, Al from Maryland. PS: I loved the PVC Pipe rolling technique.

[@NextLevelCarpentry]

Maybe we were just born with HEPA filtering lungs or something, right? Don't mean to be glib about health but there's got to be something to the fact that we all didn't perish at age 40. Seriously though I'm sure there's a big difference between ripping a piece of 1x6 pine and cutting up sheets of melamine coated high density particleboard with all it's glues and resins so not inhaling all that stuff is imperative anymore. I'm looking forward to showing the G700 in action in future videos. I ordered some clear 30mil polyurethane anti-static flex hose with blast gates and quick disconnect fittings and am anxious to get that set up and hooked up for more efficient operation.

[@pathdoc60]

That is indeed a far different animal than my Oneida Cyclone dust collection system. You are spot on about the that type of clone collector getting larger as assembly proceeds. By the time I had to place the 220V single phase and very heavy motor on the top of the 6.5 height of the top location of the collector, and since I weigh 160 pounds, it required my bigger,weight lifter and much younger son ( named Matt) to lift it into place for me, which he did quickly, but with the comment that that motor was really heavy. This system of yours looks very interesting technologically and I will be happy to see your performance videos down the road with tools hooked up to it. It looks like that new technology may be pricier than a cyclone system, but maybe not. Thanks Matt. Michael O’Brien Alabama

[@NextLevelCarpentry]

Good to see your comment on this one Michael... I suppose if I had enough room for a dedicated room for a dust collector I might not have zeroed in on all the things that helped me choose the G700 since, generally, I'm inclined to go with oversized things figuring I'll 'grow into them'. The Gyro air is about $1K more than the Oneida system I priced out (and almost bought) but I feel it's features well worth the initial extra cost for it's efficiency and smaller physical and noise footprints.

The big question is what is the rated CFM Dust collection is all about CFM

[@NextLevelCarpentry]

With no prior dust collection setup/performance experience Brian, I'm ill-equipped to debate comparisons but am interested in feedback from others with better perspective. The specs show 1110 CFM max air flow, 18-1/2" water column and 700CFM max air flow @ 4" hose with 5-5/8" water column. I lack background in how this relates to other dust collectors but keep in mind that with only 1/10th of 1% of intake dust hitting the filters the rated CFM for this unit doesn't change appreciably during use... and that's WITHOUT any filter cleaning necessary during use. It's an ideal solution for my needs but individual needs vary widely. Best, Matt

[@a1carpenter]

1110 max CFM is good 700 CFM with 4" hose should work great on any of your machines. Looks great @@NextLevelCarpentry

[@NextLevelCarpentry]

@@a1carpenter thanks for letting me know... I was prepared to deal with potentially less overall performance (compared to specs from a monster Laguna or Oneida units) but am pleased to hear these are 'great' specs. Whatever the G700 might lack in raw specs it seems to compensate for in efficiency. Best, Matt

[@toadjam12000]

I've read that it tops out at 550 cfm.

[@gavjav1]

I was expecting it to be louder than that, really impressed and great video 👍

[@NextLevelCarpentry]

I had an idea of what to expect for low level sound and am finding it's nothing like annoying or distracting to work around. Once I get hoses set up for quick disconnect to various machines I'm convinced the sound will pretty much 'just go away'. Best, Matt

[@Psychlist1972]

You may not be able to hear that whine (I think it's the inverter), but I'm not that far behind you age-wise and that was a super loud whine. I didn't care for that. Nice machine otherwise. Super expensive for non-HEPA and relatively low CFM, but It's nice to see something that is a new design, finally.

[@NextLevelCarpentry]

All I can say, Pete, is that if you think THIS machine has a 'super loud whine' I can't imagine any other dust collector would be bearable for you... at any price! BTW the 2019 models are HEPA compliant and older ones are easily upgraded if it's important. Keep in mind also that Harvey is very conservative with their CFM specs where many others tend to over-promise and under deliver. Cost wise the Gyro Air G700 is definitely the 'Festool' of dust collectors and therefore not for everyone but it's definitely the ONLY model for my shop with its 'new design' making it the perfect fit, function and footprint. Best, Matt

[@Psychlist1972]

@@NextLevelCarpentry thanks. Yeah, as part of sound and space reduction, I mounted my cyclone under a shed roof behind my shop. Very very loud, just doesn't have a whine like that. Maybe it was KZbin encoding that made it worse. Not sure. As to the rest: I'll be interested in longer-term tests and how it does. Agreed that many tend to overstate their CFM, especially on the cheap end of the spectrum.

[@kagnewmp12]

As much as I enjoy watching your videos it is quite obvious that you have been doing this for many many years and as much as I would love to have some of the tools that you have I can't imagine that when you started doing woodworking you purchased these very expensive tools. I believe I need to Pay My Dues as a woodworker like you already have before I am tempted to spend literately thousands of dollars on tools. I have a very decent Jet drill press jointer and band saw along with many other power and battery tools and all together they don't equal the price of this dust processor you are showing us. Like I said I must Pay My Dues like you have before I do something like this. I did get the dust scoop and as I'm over 6 foot I made my handle just a bit longer so thanks for this one.

[@NextLevelCarpentry]

Your perspective on tool investment is sound kagnewmp. I was 40 years in before getting a dust collector. I would have got one years earlier but the G700 hasn't been around that long. Every tool I buy must pay for itself and, ideally, it's half paid for on the first job I do with it. It's almost embarrassing the tools I started out with but, as you'll see, you'll be a much more proficient woodworker when you use a tool to the point you realize a better/more expensive tool will help you work more profitably. Compared to someone who buys a whole shop full of top-end stuff and doesn't use even half of those tools' capabilities you're way ahead of the curve. I predict you'll excel based solely on the fact you realize the difference between needing a tool and just wanting one because someone says you do. All the best in your endeavors, Matt

[@DaveBowman345]

Hey, Matt... really good info on moving/unpacking/installing a new dust collector. Looks like a really nice and powerful one! Maybe it could double as a central whole-house carpet vacuum for Mrs. NLC! 😊 I've spent innumerable hours/days working beside industrial size collectors at the cabinet factory. When they were working properly, they did a great job (there were days when they weren't working so well due to poor design... but that's another story!). I'm sure you won't have a problem with this Harvey unit because your volume will be a fraction of what we did at the cabinet factory. Due to our huge volume of sawdust passing through the wire-reinforced vinyl hoses at such high speed the constant friction, especially at bends, eventually wore holes through the walls of the flex hoses. Whoever was unfortunate enough to be working right there would be showered with sawdust until the maintenance guy came out to replace it. I, for one, rejoiced, when they replaced all the flex hose with solid galvanized ductwork. Yes, those were the days. Thanks for the memories... I think! 🤣

[@NextLevelCarpentry]

I like the 'whole house vacuum' idea Mr Bowman... but I may not suggest it to her just now. I can imagine the dust collection system at 'that factory'... it's a surprise that they used flex hose for anything but the last few feet to dust ports on machines... but maybe I shouldn't be so surprised, considering? Do I read between the lines and hear you saying that you were the recipient of a 'dust shower' or two over the years? I could see an advantage to creating a 'wear point' on a hose near certain un-favorite coworker's workstations to expedite the 'wear through' process? Sorry, I shouldn't think like that... Thanks for watching and commenting! Best, Matt

The rough chips can be used for small cage pet bedding and the powdery stuff can be used as a wood flour filler for glues and epoxies.

[@SH-rm4gw]

As for noise level, doesnt matter how quiet you think that Gyro is, your planer , table saw, jointer, shaper etc etc etc will drown out your conversation regardless. so unless you plan to run the dust collector all day long, without other machines running, it's decibel level is completely meaning less. Perhaps you should be careful not to encourage purchase of a machine that might be too expensive for the features it gives. A lot of people out there have small shops like yours and don't know alot about dust collection. And unless your run a proper business, where youre faced with meeting OSHA air quality standards, or having your employees wear respirators all day long, most people are un informed. Id say an upright cyclone with hepa cartridges at about 2500cfm would be much more suitable for the small shop / home shop. You can buy those for less than the Gyro 700, and they have more than twice the capacity. Remember it's not just the dust under the blade you need to collect, it's all the dust. 1100 cfm just doesnt cut it.

[@francismccabe3265]

For those poor unfortunates lacking an overhead gantry crane in their shops, this is a fantastic idea and provides yet another use for rolling scaffolding. I, unfortunately, lack the scaffold, but watching your video, it came to mind that I could use my 2 Little Giant style step ladders with cross beam for similar and adjustable height system. One is rated for 250 lbs. The other, an all welded military version, is rated for 300; and actually distributing the load over both sides would nearly double its capacity.

nice machine for a homeowner, or small shop running one machine at a time. I looked at buying one, but realized the price was high for the limitation of one machine at a time. Bought a Torit 3500 cfm cyclone for a little of 6000, including hepa filters etc. Nice thing about commercial units is that the cyclones actually work! 2 years later 8-10 hrs a day use and not even a bucket of dist has come out to the collectors under the hepa cartridges, the clyclone gets it all. Though you need 3 phase power to run one like mine, so guess that's why homeowners buy thes Gyro G700s. Nice video, good presentation, you have literally shown others with similar home shops how they too can get a Gyro home and up and running.

[@SH-rm4gw]

Just another thought or two, it's a little disingenuous to tout the compact size as though that's a benefit compared to cyclone units etc. One huge problem with the Gyro, that you should mention is that the bin will need to be emptied after about 10 min running a large planer or jointer. Also, that unit doesn't seem practical for home shop or small commercial shop given that it isnt practical to plumb in a bunch of machines given the minimal capacity. So buying a machine like that, you are paying a lot more than larger capacity hepa rated cyclones, and rather that being able to plumb and service multiple machines at once, you are stuck dragging that around your shop to each machine one at a time. As we can see in your small shop, you already have to move your table saw to suit your activity, now you need to move two things, before you start work.

Matt...Sure as heck...I'd bust that Plastic Y off in the first 30 minuets!

[@NextLevelCarpentry]

It's tougher than it looks Cheewurz... but still vulnerable! I'll retire the fitting once I get flex hoses set up for multi-machine 'networking' Best, Matt

[@dubyajayyo]

What about housing it in small adjacent shack outside? Even quieter?

[@NextLevelCarpentry]

That's for 'old school' dust COLLECTORS dubya... I can't even hear this running when my jointer is running and it's the quietest machine in the shop. Best, Matt

[@dubyajayyo]

Next Level Carpentry Fair enough. How long can the lines be and still have good suction? I’m imagining a manifold system of rigid piping with quick connections along the wall or suspended from the ceiling.

[@NextLevelCarpentry]

@@dubyajayyo I mentioned about keeping everything in my shop mobile so it will be no surprise that the G700 has to meet that criteria too. The 'system' will consist of a length of 6" coming off the machine and then a wye branching into two 4" hoses for machine hookup. The system will be almost as unconventional as the machine but I suppose that's only fitting for the ridiculously wide range of projects I do in the shop. I'm told my new duct components shipped today so I'm anxious to get them and get them set up and functional. As you probably know I'm a newbie to the whole dust collection thing so I'll be curious what you think after you see the setup and see it in operation. Best, Matt

[@dubyajayyo]

Next Level Carpentry Well, I’m subbed and look forward to seeing what you come up with. And to be fair, I don’t have any direct experience with dust collection. I just remember seeing a video where the guy had multiple ports in a manifold with some ports dedicated to some tools, and other ports left unused. Then if you have a less-used tool stored against a wall, you wheel it out when needed and quick connect to an open port.

[@NextLevelCarpentry]

@@dubyajayyo Cool... sounds like we both have some learnin' to do... checking out what works and doesn't work by watching and hearing from others is the M.I.T. way to do things, right?! Best, Matt PS Thanks for subbing!

[@tomfarrington2379]

I’m sorry, I just don’t get it. For most of us working out of a garage why would you show a $4,000 plus dust collection system. What is it that I’m missing?

[@NextLevelCarpentry]

I guess you're just missing the fact that peoples needs requirements priorities and values range widely and that this is just one of many possibilities. I find Ferraris fascinating and very interesting but don't suspect I'll ever buy one.

[@jeremyrowe9478]

Thank you for showing the electrical plug on this. It is not stated in the manual what type of plug it requires. I was trying to pre-plan a new outlet, my G700 arrives this week!

[@NextLevelCarpentry]

You're welcome Jeremy... hope you get a chance to see the other videos I've done featuring my g700 and the flexible dust hose arrangement I use. FYI I will probably be uploading a video this weekend showing how I store my flexible hoses when not in use in case you're interested.. Best, Matt

[@1960fusion]

great unpacking video, i am in the market for a new DC and was going to order an Oneida tomorrow, do you know if the G700 could handle two machines together? thanks!

[@NextLevelCarpentry]

There's a LOT of factors at play but the G700's performance specs are reliable IMHO. BTW I too was that close to buying an Oneida and stumbled upon an article featuring the Gyro Air and have been thankful ever since... even though Harvey no longer compensates NLC for sales generated by my positive comments and reviews...

[@mrt076]

are you still happy with the G700? I am intrigued by the unit as build quality seems stellar as well as noise levels compared to a traditional cyclone.

[@NextLevelCarpentry]

Yes I am Michael... it has a number of features that are exclusive to it making it the best option for a shop like mine. If it is capable of performing with the machines you have and your shop arrangement I think you'd be pleased with the performance as well. Best, Matt

[@chrismoore9997]

On that Mirka random orbital sander and vac kit, you could edit your original video with some new video and a voice-over to make a review out of it telling how it has worked out for you over the past x number of months. I am sure there is some good information there that you could help us out with. You make great content, so don't be so critical of yourself that you don't share it.

[@NextLevelCarpentry]

Video production with good video clips is time consuming enough... and lousy 'film' makes it exponentially more difficult Chris. I SO wish it were more doable. FYI that Mirka Deros is my first vacuum/sander setup and it took awhile to get used to. Now I wonder how I ever got by with anything else... it's a great machine! Best, Matt

[@cheewurz]

Matt...did you see how The Woodpecker did his Dust Collection?

[@NextLevelCarpentry]

Not yet? 😁

[@P010010010100101]

The only issue I anticipate is the cord length. The way my shop is configured, I need the cord to be on the right side of the machine so that I can have it pulled away from the wall and a work surface over it. Do you think it would be difficult to get inside that inverter enclosure to change the cable?

[@NextLevelCarpentry]

Talk to Hung at Harvey for an official answer Wally but I'll tell you that I made up a dedicated heavy duty extension cord for mine because it is parked about 10' away from my 220v single phase outlet and I've not noticed any issues because of it. I think you'll love your new machine! Best, Matt FYI I'll be releasing a video soon that shows modifications I made to my flex duct system which you might find interesting/helpful.

[@markforrestsm]

Hiya Matt, great reveal. Loved the practical application of "Egyptian Engineering".. It would be great to have a Dust Processor of that nature in my small shop, but cost (exchange rate and duties) as well as size would make it prohibitive.. So I'll stick with my small cyclone and shop vac set up - not forgetting the broom!! Wanna see your 'beast' in action bud so guess that means you gotta do more projects and videos.. bonus for us subscribers! Be blessed over the Christmas holidays Matt and everything of the very best to you and yours into 2019. Regards, Mark

[@tkjokester]

How much does this machine heat up or cool down the room temperature? Or does it have any effect on room temperature? Thank you for this video. Very interesting.

[@francismccabe3265]

Do not know if this question has been answered already, but it would add the same amount of heat as most other equipment using a 2 horse motor, but it would circulate through the shop better.

[@walterzink7594]

Good luck with the new dust processor. I like how it is movable without a big hassle as with a permanent dust collector. Great job lifting that thing! I wouldn't have thought of scaffolding! I look forward to more info after you have used it for a while. Walter.
