Making Simple Dust Collection Switcher // Homemade Blast Gate

In this video you will see how I making simple dust collection switcher. Without fancy tools, just from plywood, flexiglass and glue I made great switcher for dust collection, which allows to connect many tools to one vacum cleaner. Useful part for every workshop, saves time and keeps clean your space.

Habe den Staubsammelmischer nach deiner Ausführung gebaut, ich war erst skeptisch ob die Scheibe und die Absperrschieber verschmutzen ........ nein das funktioniert super .👍👍👍👌

[@CraftyDude]

Es muss funktionieren👍😉

[@Mr2at]

Thats it!, thats the design i need. Nice build and vid.

[@wolfman75]

Great Idea!!! Turned out awesome!!! Thanks for sharing!!! 👍😎🙏🤘

[@CraftyDude]

thank you👍😉

[@fabricedidiot4349]

Thanks for your video. I made it in my small workshop and it's really great.

[@CraftyDude]

👍🙂

[@CraftyDude]

What??

[@FrancoisDUGUET-pq7wh]

Wonderful. But don't use it. High risk of fire by electrostatic discharge. Or use electricity conductor material to build it.

[@Sapis]

Sehr schöne Arbeit, einfach Genial👍👍👍

[@CraftyDude]

Danke schön🙂👍

[@siscugeorge3385]

Надо было муфты напополам пилить.... Не русский!😂

[@uncledope77]

I like it & it's really cool 😎 The plexiglass should have some type of round brace in the middle to stop the flexing, it's just a thought 🤔

[@CraftyDude]

Thank you👍 flexiglass is not necessary at that place, can be used plywood plate, same as in bottom🙂

[@uncledope77]

@@CraftyDude The plexiglass is & looks cool. It's nice to see the dust moving through the system. I just noticed the plexiglass flexing & I believe a dowel brace would help support it. But it's not mandatory, it was just a thought. Thank you for your reply.

[@murrayhill9000]

@@uncledope77 Instead of a dowel, try inserting a 1/4" flat head screw from the back and long enough to touch the plexiglass. This would keep the plexiglass from flexing and compromising its seal and the metal bolt could be grounded from the back to discharge the static electricity built up by the friction of the air and dust. It would have a dual purpose. Just a thought. Great video and a nice project.

[@sitgesvillaapartmentneilsc7924]

Brilliant, any plans anywhere please ? seems to work flawlessly and allows for the blast gate to be near the hoover where it should be for maximum air flow, if anyone is worried about flexing simply add a PRV into the chamber to stop any risk of buckling or implosion orover revving of the suction device.

really ingenious, congratulations

[@CraftyDude]

Thank you👍🙂

[@terryt2910]

I like this. Thanks. If I build it, it will probably have fewer ports. My concern in with drilling and screwing into, what liked like, 1/4 in plywood. Yikes!

[@CraftyDude]

Great, its good to have more ports even no needed at a time, maybe later will decide to connect more tools🙂

[@josephking6515]

I am curious as to your concern about screwing into 6mm plywood? There is nothing nefarious about my question just curiosity and for education, that's all. Ah yeah I realise your comment was 2 years ago but maybe....... 🤷‍♂️😁

[@terryt2910]

​@@josephking6515 Yeah, I had to watch it again to see what I was referring to. Personally, I don't think I could drill that many holes into 6mm (even thinner than true 1/4") without busting through. And if I did manage, I can't see me getting the screws in without blowing out a side or at least having screw threads sticking out. Anyone who can do that, free-handed, is a lot better at it than I am.

[@chrisallen2005]

​@@terryt2910I guess you could use thicker material. Duh.

もっと簡単な方法は５ヶ所のパイプにストップエンドのキャップを４ヶ所に嵌めて差し替えるだけでエアー漏れはしません。

[@CraftyDude]

多分、しかしそれは素晴らしい働きをし、結果によって幸せです

[@johncollins9113]

Are there any plans for this it looks amazing

[@CraftyDude]

no i didn't make plans for this project, it's not difficult find out measurements, main thing is pipes diameter which you will use for system

[@steveschneider8436]

Love the build. Any issues with build up of dust in the slide gates? Was thinking a relief slot against back wall on each gate to make self cleaning?

[@CraftyDude]

Great idea to make self cleaning slot, sometimes it get filled with dust and valve stucking, then I have to clean it manually 👍

[@rolands4175]

👌

[@marcusviniciusbernardo6341]
