Sorry guys I forgot to include how to actually connect the copper wire. Its simple enough just run a bare copper wire through the pipe work and connect it to something that is earthed, you can buy braided copper wire that's not insulated and connect to a conduit or metal trunking the metal on a machine will also be a earthing point.

Thanks for that walk-thru. Regarding the static, what about using some conductive copper tape along the inside of the PVC pipes, folding it over to the outside on the connections so you can ground it with a wire from there? I guess that would work quite well and may be easier to install. Up to now I haven't yet grounded my system, but do notice a lot of static build up on the plumbing, so I'd really like to dissipate that charge before I have an issue (particularly on the CNC).

After watching this video I got an idea. You have your dust collector and you also have your dust extractor like these for small tools as you know large system is not that great for hand tool dust collecting applications. So, I bought a Kirby vacuum cleaner motor head which has an impeller that is separated from the motor, which has a separate assembly to get cooled. The impeller sucks the dust and within few inches exhausts it to a bag via 3 inch pipe. I’ve removed the bag and connected the three inch hose to a 4 inch hose to my large shop three stage dust extractor with cyclonic action. This way I have one place for all the dust from the small and large tools, none of the filter expense of expensive small systems like festool and other, takes very little space and it’s in-line install setup for under 100 bucks. Awesome video as always very informative. Thank you.

Some people have spiral wrapped the outside of PVC pipe with bare stranded copper, and fastened it about every foot with screws long enough to penetrate the inside of the conduit.

Its so good to see someone using a proper dust extractor as opposed to a chip collector which in general tend to leave the fine dust in your workshop unless you have a paper cartridge filter although this reduces the air speed so you are back to square one with a bigger unit.

Hey John. Recently discovered your channel, always great to watch another Irish persons take on things as I usually have access to all the same tools and materials! Funny enough I've only got my dust collection system up and running in the past 2 weeks or so and also used the sewer pipe. The hardest part is getting the fittings together especially when they're high up on the walls, that washing up liquid trick looks like it works wonders! Something I found handy was 100mm manrose fittings. Flex hose fits over those really well (though I don't have the quick couplers). I made my own blast gates with 110mm holes (just made a router template) to accept the sewer pipe / fittings, then on the other side I used "Blauberg Ventilation Round Circular Ducting Wall Mounting Plate with Spigots" (didn't get those exactly but Google those and you'll see what I'm talking about) which have a flat flange plate so you screw them on right over the 110mm holes and then you can connect flex hose up easily! One other thing was I found was (relatively) cheap flex hose. It's not clear but that doesn't bother me. It's €33 quid for 5m of 100mm on Rutlands in the UK. I've been using it and it's pretty solid, though I think its 5m stretched and you probably get closer to 3.5/4m ! Rutlands also do a "stay put" hose which can support its own weight and is really handy for the drill press! All the best!

The flexible pipe really is super expensive. I did a lot of research checking searching looking finding well not a lot of finding lol but a little finding of the flexible Hose. One thing I found is that the RV sewer pipe is really similar some of it is a lot cheaper but it is noticeably less your quality. Some of it’s more expensive and better quality but in that range the prices as much or in some cases even more than flexible dust collection house. Some people use dryer hose I’ve never tried it. The biggest reason is because I found some, actually quite a bit, flexible hose for extremely cheap. I’m talking about 4 inch diameter 20 foot hose for like 12 bucks the clear stuff. I got 2 1/2“ x 10‘ clear three different times for six or eight dollars. And then I got black it’s from grizzly that’s not where I got it but that’s where it originally comes from. I want to say it’s Woodstock but it is black flexible hose I think they call it stay put hose it is expandable and collapsible I got 3 inch diameter by 20 foot two separate times for $6.40 or very close to that. And then I got 4 inch diameter by 10 foot 2 times Woodstock and it was somewhere in the $10 neighborhood remember Exactly. This kind is expandable and collapsible but it doesn’t want to stay expanded on its own and it can be quite a pain in the rear to work with. The clear types I got I believe were and I’m thinking they were all power tech and they’re very nice. I would share the source if you don’t already have a clue from the brands and what single source they may all be sold from but there’s not much of a point because of the last couple of months I’ve not seen it be this cheap anymore I think more people are aware of it and snatching it up before the price gets down this cheap. What would happen is it will start at more expensive and then slowly over time it would drop in price until someone purchased it. I think now people are purchasing it when it’s in the mid and upper teen range and the normal price is low 20s mid 20s for the 2 1/2 inch diameter 10 foot. But if you’re a person that could install a permanent solution like PVC should be able to run that hard line super close if not all the way to your machine and get away with none or very very little flexible house the less that stuff the better anyway as the inside of it cuts down airflow

Very well done!!! Now, next video, moving the dust extractor outside in it's own weather proof box with plumbing through the wall. That noise is horrific! Once that is done, installing smart switches at each machine so you can switch the extractor on and off at each machine location as well as activate the blast gate solenoid for each machine. Is there a device that will detect when the machine is drawing current and activate a relay to turn the extractor on and off when the machine turns on and off? I know, it's a small shop and your not a lazy man but even using a shop vac as a dust extractor in my shop I get slightly irritated turning the vac on and off all the time. Thanks for the ideas. This kind of system is right up my alley. How much more would 100MM metal ducting cost where you are? Here it's a tight race between PVC and metal ducting for cost. I would imagine the metal piping would be slightly noisy though compared to the PVC.

It is possible to do what you are saying. You could set it up so each machine switches the dust extractor on and opens the blast gate. Its a bit of work but not complicated. You can get remote switching sockets you just plug them into an existing socket and plug the extractor into that no wiring required just keep the remote in you pocket.

Regarding static on PVC pipe, might coating the interior of the pipe with conductive paint ground the entire system? Conductive paint is used when electroplating non-conductive materials, as when plastic is chrome plated. That ought to make the entire interior of the pipe conductive. Of course, I don't know if the increased safety for the home shop would be worth the cost in money and effort. It depends on the price of the conductive paint, I suppose.

Could electrical tepe be used instead of the rubner seal

Yeah but you would use a few coils the heavier scotch tape would be better

Daft question maybe but is your 100mm pipe spiral right hand or left hand... might explain why it wouldn't fit 🤔

Good work John, was gonna do something similar with 110mm waste pipe. I see you’ve used a Record power DX 4000, this is out of my price range and was looking to buy maybe the DX1000, in your opinion would this be powerful enough for pipes that will run about 7metres throughout my workshop ?
@JohnMcGrathManInShed4 жыл бұрын
Hi Cathal, I'm not sure about the DX1000 with pipe work it's a good stand alone vac but might not be strong enough for a piped system.

I got the pipes for free so will test it out just to see what it’s like and sure if it’s no good will resort to a stand alone system, thanks John

Hi John, hope you had a great Xmas day, would I be able to do this with 2” drain pipe instead of the 4” foul pipe that you have used, my shop is a smaller one and I want to add a DIY extraction system similar to yours. Cheers 🍻
@JohnMcGrathManInShed3 жыл бұрын
Yeah you can, it just won't be good for larger chip extraction and you will need to get a extractor to suit.
@garethwatson79993 жыл бұрын
@@JohnMcGrathManInShed thanks, I think I will go with 4” pipe work going from the table saw to the extractor and use the 2” pipe and flex going to my smaller tools. Time to get building 👌👍

In a sadistic sort of way, sorry, but glad to see someone else finding how incompatible so-called compatible hose and dust extraction adaptors can be. Often better fits between different company products than single company range. Aaagh!
