Convert a WOOD Downdraft Table for METAL - CHEAP: Part 2

[@Scott-l5r]

Thanks ,was thinking about doing the same basic thing, your video was a big help !

[@GoldRefiner05]

Thanks for the videos about this table, I break down old scrap motors / transformers / anything with valuable metals and I’m tired of all the dust that’s created. Being in Michigan doing everything outside just isn’t possible for a large part of the year. Thanks again!

I've been using it daily now for the past several months. Absolute game changer for my shouse. It's very obvious when I grind on something without using the table 🤮

[@GoldRefiner05]

@@doomsdaydiesel Awesome! I’m glad it’s holding up well. Any chance you have the model / part number for that metal filter? I’m not having much luck finding one.

This is exactly what I just started planning! Nice work

[@kraken509]

Awesome video and mods. Glad to see you added the spark arresting filter. Most diy designs leave that out and I think it’s a major oversight. Why is this not good enough for mig welding? I want to build something very similar for Mig welding in my garage more safely.

Great video! I've been researching metal downdraft tables ike crazy this is just what I needed to see

[@doomsdaydiesel]

Their metal version is much smaller and shorter, and more expensive - Hence why I modified this one instead.

Have you thought about skirting down to the catch pan to allow more cooling before contact to filter?

[@doomsdaydiesel]

A year later and still working great

Thinking you might be able to get away with mig welding if you put a welding blanket down so most of the sparks are arrested before they get sucked into the fan. Then just dust the blanket into the collection when you’re done. Edit: also what kind of fan does this table have? Is it a dust collector blower kind of fan or just an exhaust fan?

Squirrel cage

Do you have a link for the metal filter that you showed?

Hi would you sell me a set of the blocks you 3D printed for my table ? I just bought same setup and filters .

[@doomsdaydiesel]

Shoot me an email

[@Ladarian_]

how has this worked out for grinding far?

[@doomsdaydiesel]

Night & day difference. Smell zero residual when I'm done. Whereas before it'd stink up my entire 45x63 shop.

[@Ladarian_]

@@doomsdaydiesel Do you paint on it also? Thanks for the reply. I do a lot of CNC plasma and im tired of sweeping after grinding.

[@doomsdaydiesel]

@@Ladarian_ I've only had to paint on once so far and that carbon filtered also did its job very well

[@widemouthford]

Can you post your email or where can I find it.

[@tsfab6914]

Hey Joe, I have some insight on that table. Give me a call I can't find your number. Riddarunner/third shift fabrication.
