Rockler Woodworking Dust Right Wall-Mount 1250 CFM Dust Collector with Floor Sweep!

[@awlthatwoodcrafts8911]

I bought the Dust Right 750 last year and I love it. The collapsible hose is the bee's knees. Combined with the Quick Change handle and it's so easy to move from tool to tool. Rockler has it goin' on with all their Dust Right accessories.

[@dogwoodcustombuilds7743]

No kidding! They really rock! I love it

[@BenNawrath]

Mounting that canister looks like a good excuse to get some ratcheting box end wrenches!

[@dogwoodcustombuilds7743]

I have the same setup but I added a large Oneida cyclone with a 30 gallon bucket because I hate using that plastic bag. Recently I made another modification. Mike Farrington has a video of how he replaced the plastic bag with a screw on 5 gallon bucket and I did the same thing. Since the cyclone catches 99% of the chips, I haven't had to empty the bucket yet.

[@dogwoodcustombuilds7743]

Yeah the bag is not fun to empty! I want to design a modification like that too!

[@SixGunTodd]

The Quad you used to seal the pipes will never come back apart....but it is indeed paintable.

[@dogwoodcustombuilds7743]

And that’s good because I don’t have plans to make any DC changes in the near future!

[@13daniel1974]

Thank you for the review. Were did you move from? Curiosity only...LOL. I have been looking at this system, too.

[@dogwoodcustombuilds7743]

Monterey CA to Memphis TN. It is a great system and has great value!

[@generalsworkshop]

Thanks for sharing. I know that you mentioned to be careful to not have metal such as screws or things of that nature go up through the floor sweep. Have you seen or considered putting a large screened filter like material at the mouth of it to prevent that from happening? I know that larger wood debris would get caught up in that as well, but I’m just curious, if you think that would work?

[@tomeverson5309]

Great job with Video. The system appears to be worker friendly.

It really is!

[@jeffeltringham1179]

How long does it take for the motor to wind down? Great vid btw

[@dogwoodcustombuilds7743]

Thank you! It’s pretty quick - maybe 3-5 seconds

[@raizt1596]

What do you think of the vacuum attachment after having it for a while? I've heard mixed reviews that some people just use their regular shop vac after having the dust right version for a while. Do the wheels on the bottom spin well?

[@dogwoodcustombuilds7743]

Honestly I don’t use the vacuum attachment much at all. It’s not bad, it’s just not as useful as a quick sweep

[@raizt1596]

@@dogwoodcustombuilds7743 interesting. I would think the vacuum would do the job of the broom and dust sweep in one.

Haha you silly. But yes actually

[@justinreformeddiyer]

If there is a next time of installing one of these, connect the the canister to the quick connect first then slide it up on the outlet and tighten just the 2 bolts

[@dogwoodcustombuilds7743]

Not sure I’m following

[@justinreformeddiyer]

@@dogwoodcustombuilds7743 The section you connected to the motor first then lifted the canister up to. If you were to connect it to the canister first then slid it onto the motor, the 2 bolts looked more accessible in the video. I could be wrong, I am an outsider looking in. lol

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

One of the issues with sponser provided tools and machinery, is the user doesn't always give an unbiased review. I hope after using The Dust Right dust collector you will give us your honest opinion. People like myself who want to purchase a system rely on reviews when making an expensive purchase. I have just a hobby shop that I built when I turned 50 and retired, and even as small as my shop is, I think I will need at least a 2 hp motor for the assorted machines I have. I think the Dust Right is only a 1 or 1-1/2 hp, but if you think it has enough suction I may consider purchasing one. If I do, I will be sure to mention your channel as the reason I chose this model. I love Rockler and the sales the have!! I look forward to a review about this D.C..

[@dogwoodcustombuilds7743]

It does have plenty of suction for my tablesaw, jointer, planer, and drum sander. I don’t see a spec of dust from my drum sander when I have my dust collector turned on (and it’s 25’ away)

[@MrJauxT]

Not a youtuber and I can vouche for the quality of this product. It was the best father's day gift and I look forward to doing some duct work with it as well in my new garage.

[@howisitnotavailable3]

[@dogwoodcustombuilds7743]

Lots of improvements can be made! KZbin has been a huge learning experience!

[@tvkimslifetv8609]

I'm looking at the same dust collector. Is a cyclone separator needed? without the cyclone separator, is the canister going to be clogged up quick?

[@dogwoodcustombuilds7743]

Then canister doesn’t clog up very quickly at all. But I rack it everyday anyways

[@CreatedWorkshop]

So for your table saw, do you just have the saw piped up under the outfeed table and then plug into the system whenever you go to make a cut?

[@dogwoodcustombuilds7743]

That’s correct! I need to fix the piping but that’s exactly it!

[@CreatedWorkshop]

@@dogwoodcustombuilds7743 I've seen more and more people doing this method, guess that's the method I'm gonna go with! Really love the idea!

[@Trucker2004]

Did you find a measurement so your dust bag would rest on the ground as it fills ? Seems like a good idea....

[@dogwoodcustombuilds7743]

If you follow the directions, yes you do

Nice video,but how good is on a table saw and some other tools

Thanks. Tablesaw is “as expected.” It’s always had to get that fine stuff getting thrown back. Works amazing on the jointer, planer, and drum sander

[@webcrawler3332]

[@dogwoodcustombuilds7743]

I don’t use the drain end pipe! I took the fittings from the box to Home Depot and picked whatever pvc fit!

[@mdaley3102]

Thanks for the video. I’ve read so much about various models, their cam claims, which model is right for you, etc. and I’m having a ton of trouble making a decision on whether it’s worth it or not to purchase a unit. In your honest opinion, does this work as good as you’d like it to? Do you get a lot of static even with the ground wire? And most important, are you still spending as much time sweeping as you did before. Thanks again

[@dogwoodcustombuilds7743]

So 2 months later: I don’t use the floor sweep as much as I planned, but the suction is still incredible and works well. The DC itself is really solid and does everything I ask of it. No static electricity buildup!

[@WJCTechyman]

Looks like a big central vacuum

[@dogwoodcustombuilds7743]

Well it’s a wall mounted dust collector… so very similar

[@winfinit]

I would have mounted filter before hanging the motor, then hang and secure the motor to the wall.

[@dtullila]

Not sure you stillfollow this channel. I am getting ready to buy that dust collector. I have a smaller Wen now and im concerned on how noisy the 1250 cfm one is. Wen isn't reall loud just kind of has a hum to it. My equipment is louder. Is the dust right the same?

[@dogwoodcustombuilds7743]

My tools are definitely louder than the dust collector. It really just hums like a drone in the background. Couldn’t complain about the noise at all!

[@simonr6793]

The Only thing I would have done is to add the 4 inch foil tape to every single area that you use the silicone sealant too, this would have completed the air seals stopping any air leaks and increasing the suction etc. Just one other thing have you thought about adding a row of these new super strong magnets that you can now buy??? Adding a row of the magnets around the mouth area of your floor sweeping hood will help tonnes when it comes to sweeping up the workshop as any nails or screws etc will pass into the hood mouth and automatically stick to the row of magnets you placed around the mouth of your hood saving you getting any unwanted damage done to the impeller of your dust collector system. P.s. The price of a dozen magnets for the hood mouth is way cheaper than having to go and replace the impeller or even having to replace the dust filter or bag because of a puncher in the walls caused by a screw or nail 💅 🙃 🤔. As always buddy 💯% 👍 🇬🇧.

[@dogwoodcustombuilds7743]

I really don’t use the vacuum as much as I had expected. I’ve seen people do that and it’s a really good idea though

[@MrJauxT]

I just put mine back up yesterday since I've also just relocated to a new garage and home and I noticed you didn't put the rubber vibration dampeners when you put the motor up. Did you mean to leave it and has it had any issues with vibration against the wall? I have concrete so I felt the need in case of vibration issues. good luck with the new shop!

[@dogwoodcustombuilds7743]

Not sure I saw those in the box! I may have missed them in the instructions too haha

[@MrJauxT]

@@dogwoodcustombuilds7743 well if it’s not vibrating then I guess there’s no need to worry about it lol.

@@mlindholm I did read the instructions, thanks.

[@velocityacoustics]

You show having to sweep the floor in the beginning and how much you hate that. At the end you are vacuuming the floor which seems to have the same amount of dust? I mean you could use a shop vac for that. Seems like the system is not working effectively?

[@dogwoodcustombuilds7743]

Vacuuming doesn’t kick up dust into the air like sweeping. Also, it’s a bigger mouth to vacuum with than my shop vac

[@matthewwolan1247]

Mount flange to canister first then mount to Dust collector

[@RAYKACZAR]

I empty my bag about 5 times a day, and each time I hate it more, the zipper needs to be longer or up the whole side,

[@mrgunn2726]

Thanks for sharing this installation video, good stuff. Couple of questions, what is up with the background music, it sounded off key, it was very distracting? Next up, why didn't you attach the canister to the motor, then attach the entire assembly to the wall, was it specifically proscribed by the instructions, too heavy? Sorry to hear about your camera, bummer. Last question, are you planning to upgrade to a pre-filter i.e. a dust cyclone? Finally, one concern, your static electricity wires may not be properly grounded, consider attaching them to the motor housing, the motor housing should be grounded via your electrical system.

[@dogwoodcustombuilds7743]

1) I used whatever free music was available on some software. 2) I was just following the instructions. 3) not as of now.

[@LoisSmith-il1ho]

It would have easier to mount the flange (with all the screws) to the filter first and then mount all of that to the motor with the one band clamp.

[@dogwoodcustombuilds7743]

Absolutely! But I was just following the order on the instructions. That would be a good update to the instructions

[@BenNawrath]

Idea, even though I know it's way too late, and there may be a reason not to... Attach the flange to the canister first, then lift it all up to the collector and clamp it? No? You could at least loosen the collar to spin it to whichever orientation you want.

[@dogwoodcustombuilds7743]

Someone else mentioned that too! Definitely a good idea and I’ll forward that to rockler so they can change up the order of the instructions!

[@BenNawrath]

@@dogwoodcustombuilds7743 oh good! I didn’t read all the comments obviously lol. I love rockler stuff in general, I have a router lift of theirs among other things, I’m sure they’ll be receptive!

[@Mostviews111]

All that extra chalk is going to ooze inside the pipe and have a lip for dust to get caught on and eventually break off and go into the blower. Also that ground wire you made was useless screwing into wood since wood does not transfer electricity.

[@dogwoodcustombuilds7743]

1) ok. 2) that is the point of a grounding wire - to transfer the current to something that is non-conducive (ie wood)

[@mlindholm]

@@dogwoodcustombuilds7743 not to something non-conductive, but to something that actually IS conductive. A static wire like that is for dissipating the charge to earth, aka ground. It could've instead been wired to the metal outlet box just to the right of the dust collector, which would be bonded to the ground wire of the outlet there, which goes back to your panel ground, then actually have been effective...well, there's arguments on whether it actually makes any difference or not, but doing so would have actually done *something* over nothing.

[@dogwoodcustombuilds7743]

@@mlindholm okay

[@barnyardkh4]

Your static build up is coming from the friction caused by the long flex hose, not the PVC. PVC is an insulator and your wire on the outside is not grounding anything. No matter though because you're not producing enough small particle dust (and the static 'spark' isn't sufficient to ignite) to cause an explosion. Any story of an explosion comes from large commercial shops with multiple, constantly running dust-producing machines or industrial applications like grain elevators. There's not a single documented case of a home/hobby shop (single man) ever exploding due to an ungrounded dust collection system, much less one with PVC ducting. I really wish this internet myth would die.

[@dogwoodcustombuilds7743]

Even if the screw goes through the pvc to the interior of the pipe? I don’t know all the science behind it but I figured “better safe than sorry.” Any input is helpful!

[@barnyardkh4]

@@dogwoodcustombuilds7743 yes, even when the screw goes through. In fact, punching it through them ruins the laminar (good) flow inside the pipe and robs you of efficiency. The “better safe than sorry” approach is actually hurting your overall performance (although the relatively short run of PVC compared to the nearly 30’ of flex hose isn’t really helping you all that much anyway). Your use of the PVC is good at keeping things up off the floor but you should find better ways to limit the long flex runs and/or reconfigure your blast gates in order to cut the flex out of the system most of the time in order to get as many CFM through your DC as possible.

[@budfetterley6237]

@@dogwoodcustombuilds7743 screwing the ground wire to a nonconductor isn’t needed either. A ground wire literally is connected to the ground at some point. With projects like this, it’s typically through your dust collector casing because the casing is connected to ground through your shop outlet.
