My Budget Dust Collection System!

Really sorry about the spoken audio, for some reason my mic wasn’t working

[@alamo11]

Great video. Sorry about your poorly finger

Thanks for the helpful tips on an affordable extraction system. It’s refreshing to see a guy who’s not in a huge worshop with every shiny Festool machine known to man. Will definitely subscribe. 🙂

[@lindymills7530]

I'm so very excited to put this together, I work in a tiny workshop and have been searching for something affordable. Big thanks

[@michaelallen2390]

Thanks Dean. I've just built my system using your methods including the blast gates. It works beautifully.

[@WoodworkJourney]

Brilliant!

[@plummetplum]

Great tips, I'm in the middle of building my garden room/workshop and planning. This is really helpful, loved the pressure release valve on the dust collector.

[@danw4930]

This is an amazing system! Extremely flexible and easy to set up with very little space. Excellent job! 😄

[@B0M0A0K]

It's a bit old now, but brilliant video. I just used this as the basis for creating my own small workshop dust extraction system.

[@WoodworkJourney]

Thanks! I hope it works out well for you!

[@B0M0A0K]

@@WoodworkJourney Seems great. Just 3D printing some blanks and an adapter. But it's fantastic not having to watch out for loads of cables and keep moving things around to keep it safe.

[@IfDawidCanYouCan]

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and idea for the Dust Collection system. I am doing up my Cave (AKA Shed) and dust collection is very important (as we all know). I bought one of those Cyclonic Cone, Valve & Bucket, and the bucket buckled as soon as I connected to my wee vacuum cleaner that my wife didn’t like anymore (ha ha ha)… Anyways, I’m now thinking to get those Triton’s Cyclone Cylinder [Orange coloured Drum], as that hopefully will do a better job with my Triton Shop Vac (I am not sure though)… Any advice will be greatly appreciated my friend. Being disabled it is very hard to get things done no matter how small those jobs are. I hope your finger is now mended (better be as this is look like two years ago), and you have updated the whole system by now. If you got any video of your updates please let us know. A big thanks from Suffolk, as I believe “ *_Our World_* is a *_Shared Experience_* “… Please look after yourself and each other & Stay Safe. Remember, *_Life_* is *_Short_* so *_Live Long_* and *_Prosper_* … 🖖 Cheers!!!

[@thedeano65]

Brilliant Dean I put mine together yesterday and it works a treat I have never had my bandsaw running so dust free and now don't have to drag my vacuum around changing bags every few days

[@WoodworkJourney]

Awesome!! Fantastic to hear it 👍👍

[@Ben-Dowson]

1:00 I have the same issues where I live with the RAF bases close by. Excellent video, I will be trying this out soon.

[@Litehamer]

Good morning. I’ve just stumbled across your channel and am very glad I did . I do love to find fellow Englishmen recommending this I can actually get hold over from places like B&Q and screwfix. Your set up looks great and a lot more approachable for a complete novice with a regular garage (like me). Now subscribed and poking through all your other vids . Have a good day

[@PaulMasonUK]

Loving the simple bendy hose on the drill press! I will add this to my inspiration when I finally get round to doing similar ducting in my garage 😁

[@WoodworkJourney]

Thanks! Yeah I’m a big proponent of using what you have kicking about, so the phone holder hose guide was born 😂

[@PaulMasonUK]

@@WoodworkJourney I have a 100mm flexible toilet waste connector thing near my lathe for dust, so I'm right with you on the 'using what you have' principle 🤣

[@88rushrocks]

Great video I to am trying to figure out a dust collector system for my woodworking with many different connectors that require different port sizes

[@WoodworkJourney]

I’ve used spare bits of the 40mm stuff in the video and used a heat gun to melt it enough to be bigger or smaller to fit on or in tools

[@stevebettany8778]

You wouldn’t believe my cyclone it’s home made from a sheet of steel that was never going to be used it’s as big as the Axminster cyclone. It was murder to shape but works well it’s also on a large blue barrel. So that’s half my workspace used up! The pipe work is a four inch hose sometimes into a block of wood with a hoover hose jammed in it. Posh. Love your setup.

[@WoodworkJourney]

Thanks Steve! Yours sounds like a beast!

[@charlieallansen9763]

Loved your video. I am a 68 year old Carpenter, (wanting to retire, but the bank wont let me!!) who would desperately love to have my own garage/workshop. So while I'm dreaming of my workshop, I'm gaining ideas for dust extraction.

[@WoodworkJourney]

Thank you, and best of luck!

[@kelvingstrachan]

Excellent 👌🏼 Thanks. Looking for push fit pipe fittings this evening. I just recently made a dust cart with a Ryobi industrial vac and a DeWalt tornado. Good to see you're at over 10k subscribers now 👏🏼

[@DavidLee-cw6ci]

This is perfect, just what i need in my shop. I have similar sized space and similar vacuum and cyclone. I think I'm going to mount my vacuum remote to a wrist strap, sick of putting it down and forgetting where i left it!

[@elvisoshaughnessy4109]

Hi, whose 2 small skull belongs too which is near dust extracter. I enjoy watching your video

[@WoodworkJourney]

My pleasure, thanks for watching!

[@danielfarrell14]

This is the best video I've found for me! My 'shop in progress' is probably quarter the size of yours, so its a real challenge, but I think many of your ideas will work in my shop. Great vid, most grateful! I subscribed straight away!

[@TheWeekendWoodshop]

I love your system. Something this size looks to be perfect for small stationary tools as well as portable tools with collection ports. Well done!

Hi Dean, 1, Glad to hear the workshop injuries are healing 2, Yes please with the table saw dust collection/extraction video, it's always good to watch these type of videos for insight and inspiration, watching your videos of late has got me thinking about making some layout changes to my own set up to improve the workspace and put in a dust collection system rather than plug in each tool individually, thank you for sharing and congratulations on your growing number of subscribers one of which I'm happy to be, I always look forward to your videos, take care.

[@WoodworkJourney]

Thank you Simon!

[@ravinderpalsingh4619]

This is brilliant!!! I can't wait to try this in my workshop!!! Thank you so much!

[@lexluthier8290]

Great job Dean, love the push-fit + pond hose components - very flexible for future mods if required. I'll be nicking most of your ideas when I eventually empty out my garage and start putting a proper shop together. Anyone want to buy some golf clubs? Or speaker cabs? Or photo enlargers? Or....never mind. Ebay will get a bashing soon! Love to see what you come up with for your table saw & thicknesser. Look after your finger mate. All the best.

[@WoodworkJourney]

Thanks Lex! I’m super happy with how it is now, I hope you get to sort your shop out too 😁

[@ChillySwanDesign]

love it solved a lot of my probs was going to go with 4" pipe now 52mm (get for free)

[@oh.ok_woodwork]

Thanks Dean. Do you have any information about how you're connecting the flex hose to the pipe?

[@WoodworkJourney]

I just kinda rammed them together I think

This looks good but I'd like to see the suction on it I thought you were going to clean up under the table saw👍 to show it working

[@WoodworkJourney]

You will see it working in many videos in the future. I don’t think I’ve lost any noticeable suction from the vacuum though.

[@raysmith6891]

@@WoodworkJourney that sounds great 👍 I've been using old vacuum cleaner hoses but never considered waste pipe and fittings before. The smooth internal bore will help no end. Thanks again.

[@DarrenHinchley]

Great video dean. How did you connect the 40mm pipe to the cyclone. I Know they are typically 50mm plus. And how did you connect the hose pipe to the pvc pipe. Thank you

[@idlersdream826]

Nicely done Dean & as I’ve mentioned before, very similar to my system, which I’m also extremely pleased with, although I find the pond hose is a bit stiff on my mitre saw connection, so might get something a bit more flexible in the future. I think a barrel & cyclone will be next at some point, but I need to find space for it 🥴.

[@WoodworkJourney]

Yeah the pond stuff is a bit, but I was concerned that it would implode so I’m pleased it doesn’t 😁

[@SteveMonk1956]

Thanks for another really interesting video Dean.

[@WoodworkJourney]

Thanks for watching Steve!

[@paulhodgson4790]

Great video Dean, glad to see that the finger is improving. You can point 👉! I was wondering how the system would work with a small diameter pipe and you reassure me that for fine dust it will be fine. Time to really sort out a system in my shop, getting fed up wheeling the hoover around. The CTS quick click hose adapters are brilliant and are well worth the money. I have colour coded mine with a dab of enamel paint on the adapter and a corresponding dab on tge dust outlet on the tool. Saves loads of time working out which one fits what! They are about £26 for the set of four adapters and one hose attachment.

[@WoodworkJourney]

Well it’s still new but it’s doing an awesome job so far. Yeah the CTS stuff isn’t crazy money, but I live on a pretty tight budget so it’s not happening for the moment

[@BalticHomesteaders]

Nice solution, just stumbled upon your vid/channel while researching. I'm guessing you're in Lincs or north Norfolk if you have fighter jets? I'm from Cromer before moving out here and am quite used to the jets :)

[@jasonclark2784]

Mate, totally brillant! great help off shopping in the morning (:

[@dougggiereid]

Very neat system. Just one question. How did you earth the PVC pipe to prevent a fire from static build up?

[@WoodworkJourney]

It’s a good question. The simple answer is that I didn’t. After doing some research it seemed like the chances of a static building up to that level is incredibly small

[@stevo1166]

​@@WoodworkJourney I think it would be nearly impossible to do. Because plastic and rubber o rings aren't conductors, you'd need an earth wire to every single component and bend etc and on the inside coming out to connect to earth.

[@Shortychokes]

Question if you don’t mind. What hose end cuff did you use to go with the 40mm pond hose?

[@garethwatson7999]

What about the static build up when using PVC? Was always warned about it being a nasty fire risk because of the wood dust and chips along with the risk of sparking? Is this true?

[@Cad1900]

Great work I appreciate your video. Thank you!

[@roberthunt4937]

Hi Dean. I used the same waste pipe for my system. I changed the plastic container for a metal one as the relief valve didn't seem to work(it was leaking air slightly). My vacuum is a Henry, and works superbly. Keep those videos coming.

[@WoodworkJourney]

Will do Robert, thanks!

I don’t use this system for my tablesaw, Thickness planer, or soon to come router table. For those it’s my HVLP chip extractor. A 40mm system HPLV system will not run 100mm pipe unfortunately.

Nice system, I've been watching and getting ideas, got a 1000w Henry I'm going to put to the same use. Do you find suction as good on your furthest bench flexi hose as back at the beginning etc? Not sure does suction loss occur over length or is it really noticeable. Thanks

[@WoodworkJourney]

For my system I don’t notice a significant suction loss thankfully

[@stevo1166]

@@WoodworkJourney Good, I'm keen, thinking though I might do it in 50mm, bit pricier but less likely to block etc and a bit more flow rate. Enjoying your videos, thanks

[@WoodworkJourney]

I’d be surprised if the Henry could keep up the suction with 50mm to be honest but best of luck 👍

[@stevo1166]

@@WoodworkJourney I know what you mean and I've been keeping that I'm mind but ..... There's a video on KZbin ( I think it's called "more suck from a shop vac" where ho tests airflow rates changing the hose diameter and finds best results with a 2 1/2" hose? A Henry is same principle as a shop vac as in low volume high pressure etc. It's an interesting watch if you can find it, if pos, watch it and let me know what you make of it. The parts aren't ordered yet....🤣

[@stevo1166]

There's also one called " 2" pvc dust extraction system and workshop tidy up " by Greg virgoe which is worth a watch, he uses a Henry with good results. 👍

[@TootEmCarMan]

Interesting vid indeed. :) I am about to set up a workshop and have been pondering dust collection for a while and am currently planning to build something similar to your setup. I have the same planer/thicknesser as you which uses the same large diameter collection port. Have you managed to find an adapter to fit it?

No I haven’t, but to be honest I haven’t looked yet. That’ll be part of the next stage along with the tablesaw

[@TootEmCarMan]

@@WoodworkJourney I will keep looking. If I find something I will let you know. :)

Cost and diameter to be honest, I didn’t want to reduce the size more than I needed to

[@chrissnowden7078]

@@WoodworkJourney Fair play. And how did you connect them?

[@chrissnowden7078]

@@WoodworkJourney Ah ok, thank you

[@kevinmckercher]

idk what type of plastic that is, but plastic pipes can be dangerous if not grounded. For safety sake, just run a copper ground wire to ground, and wrap/screw the wire to the pipe. Static can build up on plastic. I'm sure you've been shocked by a shop[-vac before. Same thing.

[@WoodworkJourney]

From the research I’ve done it seems that the danger is an urban myth, I completely understand why people think it could happen but as far as I can tell it’s never happened - I believe even Mythbusters tried it.

[@donwoodshop]
