Remote Control Dust Collection Upgrades

[@dangkolache]

What a satisfying action on those levers, I'd be out there just sliding them open and closed all day long

[@par5endos562]

The booster for the smaller line feeding into the main 4" is a fantastic idea, looking forward to seeing your implementation of that. What's the rating on your remote outlet? I'm using a similar remote for my dust collector, but it is only having to operate a 2 pole contactor which does the heavy lifting of switching my 3HP blower motor on/off. Curious to see how the remote outlet holds up over time.

[@JustinDepew]

The outlet is rated for 15A. I do have my doubts on how long it will last. At least it was only $13 if it craps out.

Great invention, I have something similar in my classic car to activate the choke on the carburettors ,except it is a stiff wire so you only need one cable that turns it off and on and yet the idea of using this idea for directing it for air flow never came to my mind. Great work Justin👍

[@RunningCordoroy]

Man that is so cool! Looking forward to the booster!

[@christopherrospierski7577]

Very cool

[@nvysel24]

I have no use for these blast gates but i really really like that design. i will definitely keep this in mind should I ever need this type of design

[@jcr723]

Love your videos. Would love to see the booster video. Keep up the good work.

[@timothywhite6532]

@Justin Depew I'm curious ... I don't see any grounding of your dust collection. Did you cover this in another video? Or is it not a concern for you?

[@cwadub]

Nice idea on the booster vac can't wait to see it

[@JustinDepew]

It's gonna be awesome!

[@TimothyHall13]

Hi Justin, great video. Did you try using a spring to help the return of a single cable control for a gate?

[@JustinDepew]

Hi Tim. Have you seen the videos on blast gates by Cosmas? This is how he did it. I prefer the pull pull method over using the spring return method.

[@matthewhagan9711]

Any reason for not using one push pull cable instead of two pull only cables? But that mechanism does sound satisfying.

[@JustinDepew]

You can't push anything with a cable. It's like pushing with a rope. It collapses.

[@matthewhagan9711]

@@JustinDepew with standard cables, yes. But they specifically make cables called push pull cables that have a different type of sleeve and a long metal end (instead of a ferrule) that allows it to be pushed as well as pulled.

[@JustinDepew]

I have not seen those before. I will have to check them out.

[@GregorifElfeNoir]

Hello, noobie question : wont the tape wear off over time, and the mechanism risk getting stuck ?

[@GregorifElfeNoir]

@KelMaster Construction Thank you :)

[@kelseydepew]

Very cool! Great video! 🙂

[@tseckwr3783]

Haven't seen you in a while, young man. Great work on your dust collection. Buy yourself a good filter, your lungs will love you. Also, why not remove that filter and pipe the output directly to outside? None of these options are expensive compared to your lungs and breathing. Keep up your fine work and videos....

[@JustinDepew]

I have pondered exhausting outside for quite some time. I may still do this. Main disadvantage is the heat loss in the winter but that is probably worth it.

[@frederikgotz620]

Where did you get the cables?

[@JustinDepew]

Ebay

[@bladelord10]

really nice, keep it up! btw, hope your finger gets better!

[@FearsomeWarrior]

Why not mount the small pipe connection much lower on the large ridged pipe? Less length of short hose is more airflow. Even redesigning the over-arm to accept a larger diameter hose may be more worth it in the end? Going up even a quarter or half inch is much greater airflow.

[@JustinDepew]

I would like to re-design the over-arm to accept 2" pipe. I hope to include that along with the "booster" I want to also make.

[@FearsomeWarrior]

@@JustinDepew I always feel like an ass suggesting things. Glad it was taken constructively and not just as some guy being a know-it-all. :)

[@donmcquaig7424]

Your download link to the 2" blast gate returns a 404 error...

[@JustinDepew]

Interesting. It appears to be an issue with Thingiverse. If you go to my thingiverse page you can access it there: www.thingiverse.com/justindepew/designs

[@rianwhitby3480]

I'm not sure if it's deliberate or not, but, as your page is flagged as content for kids, we can't get alerts/notifications of new content... Is that intentional for other reasons?

[@JustinDepew]

I did not realize that. I will look into it. Thanks.

@@JustinDepew outstanding. As always, love the content. Welcome back to the tubes - hope you're safe and well.

Welcome back Justin.Long Time no see.Did you cut your pointing finger? I hope was not too painful.

[@JustinDepew]

I broke it about 2 months ago. Just came out of splint so trying to go easy on it.

[@ISTMM]

@@JustinDepew 👍👊

[@tjweaver4556]

What happened to your finger?

[@kelseydepew]

He broke the tendon off the bone a couple months ago. He was finely able to take the split off this past week. 🙂
