Simple Dust Collection Hack For Small Workshops

[@theessentialguideforblokes7960]

I’ve been trying to figure out something like this for ages and never bothered to do it properly, seeing this has motivated me to do it today! Thank you!

[@CasualDIY]

Glad to hear it 👍😁

Hi Tomasz, a great little tip. In relation to the topic of static, if you look up a KZbinr 'John McGrath - Man In a Shed' he has some good advice on this. John is a wood worker but his day job is an electrician. If I remember correctly he also has skills in managing static electricity in explosive environments. However, John debunks many of the myths on this subject and gives a professional's advice on what does and doesn't need to be done and more importantly why. Keep up the good work.

[@CasualDIY]

Cool, thanks I'll check him out

[@ashokmoghe8035]

You always have nifty ideas - Keep it up and all the best Tomasz !!

[@CasualDIY]

Thanks, you too!

[@ecaff9515]

Excellent video. I did the same with my hose except my 2 inch hose needed 12ga romex scrap wire from and old job. Keep up the excellent inspiration. Thank you.

[@CasualDIY]

Thank you for watching 👍

[@hansdegroot8549]

Clever idea. Thanks for sharing.

[@CasualDIY]

Thanks for watching!

[@briancampbell1413]

This is pretty cool Tomasz, only thing i would add to this a pegs for the stand to be located on my NFT table just to prevent it being knocked over by accident.

[@CasualDIY]

The base is large enough to be clamped down to a workbench but yes I will be adding two slots in the base to accommodate 3d printed dogs

[@henrysara7716]

Great quick and handy.

Exactly 👍😁

Always have interesting things to watch in your channel. Thanks for sharing those great ideas with us.

Thank you kindly, glad you like my videos 👍😁

Regarding static in dust extractors take a look at man in shed channel from about 2 years ago he’s an electrician but does woodworking as a hobby. His homemade vices are also worth watching

Great solution to an old problem Tomasz. It beats using sticky tape to hold the dust hose in position. Tony

[@CasualDIY]

Hehe yes mate, project born out of frustration in this case 😅

[@SteveMonk1956]

Great video Tomasz, yet another good solution to another problem I didn't know I had. I need to make something like this. Thank you.

[@CasualDIY]

Hehe glad you like it 👍😀

[@MCsCreations]

That's just brilliant, Tomasz! Fantastic work! 😃 I'm definitely going to make something like that for me! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@CasualDIY]

Glad that you like it mate 😁👍 All the best to you and the family

[@garethsharp4039]

That's dead handy. Nice one!

[@CasualDIY]

Thanks mate

[@lafamillecarrington]

I'm amazed at how well the wire works!

[@CasualDIY]

I was too 😅

[@TheLemartes]

this is the solution i was thinking of for my pillar drill table but could not cleary define it in a project, nice that you made it so i can shamelessly copy your idea :)

[@CasualDIY]

That's why I made the video 😁👍 glad that it will be some help

[@Bdbrad71]

Great idea

Nice project Tomasz. A simple design very well executed. Keep up the top content. Cheers 👍😎🇦🇺

Thank you! Cheers!

[@AndyCPugh]

That's genius!

[@CasualDIY]

Thanks mate

[@dennisseemann571]

Thanks! you just solved a large problem I have been facing. my problem has been using my orbital sander, as I move it about the hose always pulls out of the sander or makes it difficult to move up and down large boards as I sand, but with 2 of these this should solve my problem.

[@CasualDIY]

Glad that my video was some help 👍

[@NWGR]

Very clever! Adding to the bag of tricks, thanks! edit: I was just thinking, you could make this a bit fancier and have the ability to remove the hose if you fit a coupler on the wooden clamp bracket part, and on one end you would attach your vac hose and on the other you'd use a short length of loc-line hose. I thought of this after remembering that loc line is commonly used for drill press dust extraction. It's sturdy and easily adjustable.

[@CasualDIY]

Every idea can be grown upon. For me this works and it was a spare hose I had in my workshop.

[@christycullen2585]

Great idea and great video

[@CasualDIY]

Thank you 👍😁

[@alfredzdeb8401]

musze cos tagie u mnie w garazu yrobic. Dziekuje za pomysl i twoj tutorial

[@CasualDIY]

Dzieki za oglądanie, pozdrawiam 👍

[@edwardliu1154]

great tip. the hoses that hold their position are quite expensive. i bought a few but still don't hold some positions well.

[@CasualDIY]

Exactly, so sometimes its best to come up / try a different solution.

[@barry.w.christie]

Nice and simple idea, excellent. Still not as good as my dust collector though ... the floor 😁

[@CasualDIY]

😂👍

[@johnfithian-franks8276]

Hi, If you know an electrician ask them for a piece of ground cover tube. I used it all the time to cover the copper wire to prevent any danger of wires becoming lose and touching the earth cable that is not covered in twine & ground cable.

[@CasualDIY]

Good tip thank you, I'll try to get something like that and try it out.

[@johnfithian-franks8276]

if you can give me your address without comproming this chanle i will send you some. i know this may come over as a bit dodgey but i am only trying to help.@@CasualDIY

[@CasualDIY]

@@johnfithian-franks8276 thank you for the offer but Polish customs would not make it worth while. I've ordered something online so I can see how it all works and how to use it in the future 👍

[@theswime945]

Nice one as usual Tomasz, thanks as ever for sharing. I don't have a workshop so have to work outside, but have come to realise that dust extraction is still sometimes desirable. I'm trying to think of a way to fix the wire inside the pipe extension rather than outside, and wondering if it would work if it were just fixed securely at either end? That'd be easiest and you could still sculpt the shape. I'm pretty sure I'll see a fatal flaw just after I've clicked 'Comment'... Cheers.

[@CasualDIY]

the metal wire inside of the hose may cause more static build up.. There could be a wee too much movement of the wire inside as well if its not secured in several places.

[@stuarthawthorne87]

What about a 20mm dowel on bottom of stand to sit on a dog hole for stability?

[@CasualDIY]

Eventually I will make two slots on either of the side of the base to accommodate a 3d printed dog to fit in my MFT top. Not everyone has got an MFT top so a simple larger base that you can clamp down to anything looked to me like the best option to show.

[@J.M.Lander]

Great simple solution Tomasz. I’ve watched your saw blade video but what blade are you using in your mitre saw there?

[@CasualDIY]

Its a Freud blade👍

[@J.M.Lander]

@@CasualDIY thanks. what teeth setup?

[@CasualDIY]

@@J.M.Lander 60 teeth

[@J.M.Lander]

@@CasualDIY thanks Tomasz. I’ve been looking for a new blade for my Evo mitre saw and I like you I have used the saxton blade but I wasn’t blown away by it. I’ll give the Freud a try.

[@CasualDIY]

@@J.M.Lander have a look at Trend as well they are surprisingly good

[@barktus]

Electrician by trade here: plastic is used as a isolator. So grounding the plastic isn't going to work. Since its an isolator, there's not much you can do. Imagine this: you want to start a fire, how big is the chance it will start with the first spark? So now take this knowledge to your dust extraction system, if you manage to get static electricity from it. How big is the chance that one spark will start a fire? There is a reason plastic is used worldwide as isolator. Just my two cents 😁

[@davidabineri908]

He's not trying to ground anything here. Perhaps re-watching will clarify what the wire is doing.

[@bernardfigiel198]

Everytime I see somebody drilling thick material using a hole saw my heart breaks. ALWAYS drill a hole on the edge of the drilling on the scrap side of the saw, to avoid clogging it with chips, overheating it and ruining the tool on the first use. You're welcome.

[@CasualDIY]

It was just an example that meant to produce a lot of chips and saw dust.

[@bernardfigiel198]

@@CasualDIY But how? You'll get the same amount of chips and dust through a relief hole, probably even more by volume, because they won't be compressed and burnt and the tool will last longer. Love your channel anyway, cheers.

[@CasualDIY]

@@bernardfigiel198 hmm didn't put that much thought into it to be honest. Just wanted to make some saw dust that's all.

[@bernardfigiel198]

@@CasualDIY So I'm very happy I could share my "knowledge" with you. I work with them on daily basis and with relief hole it cuts way quicker, and my expensive tools last much, much longer, and I'm DIY-er as well, so I cannot afford them every use 😉 Can't wait for the next video!

@@bernardfigiel198 good knowledge always appreciated 👍😁
