Simple Dust Collection System Upgrades | Rockler Demo

[@Uncle_Buzz]

Looking forward to the dust collection series. New shop setup, needing to plan this out right. Cheers!

Great presentation from Harry Dunne

I wish you guys were in my country. I can get some of your stuff but not all of it.

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

I really want some of those dust connectors. That would help a lot. I do have the small connector. It’s great for my Domino.

[@glennryzebol4472]

I just bought the expanding hose with the two provided adapters. FYI for any makita users. I bought the kit mainly for my sanders and those two adapters do not fit any of them.

[@justpop1526]

How about making 5” and 4” fittings that can be used to connect hose, fittings and machines?

[@rockler]

We carry an extensive catalog of 4" hoses and fittings. The 5" hoses and fittings aren't as commonly sought after, and we don't carry that size. You can view all the 4" options on our website at - www.rockler.com/power-tools/dust-collection/dust-collection-fittings - On the left there are Filter options, select Hose or Port Size, and select 4" to see the products. Thanks!

Man, I would like to give Rockler the chance to prove to me that this is a good product and the reason is that I bought a Dust Right Separator a year ago and it looks awesome, feels awesome, and has great quality materials built-in, but performance is just like using my vacuum without the dust separator, unbelievable horrible, my vacuum gets clogged with no time. But the thing is it was invented over 8 years ago and is still for sale. So now I am definitely on the search of a system like this but I want to see that on a demo somewhere to believe you Rockler one more time.

Thanks for the feedback. We have passed this along to our product team.

@@rockler Thanks for considering this feedback. I strongly believe that Rockler is good brand just like any product sometimes it is not the right idea or innovation for it but the next one could be better. Thank you again.

I have/have had a Rockler Dust Right Separator attached in line with my shop vac for a while. The Shop vac is stationary because I mounted it on the wall… next in line is the Dust Right Seperator which I hooked up to a custom system that hangs above my workbench so I can quickly clean the dust or attach a hose to a tool to a flex hose from above. I’ve probably had this setup for 3+ years now and I’ve never once had to change a filter or remove a bag from the shop vac. The Dust Right Seperator has filled up to the brim with sawdust many times ( I know I should empty it before it gets that full ). I did purchase that tape you can buy from Rockler called the: “X-Treme Tape for Dust Joints” and used that on… well, all the dust joints. I don’t work for Rockler in any way I’m just telling you it does work (in-line with a shop vac at least). I’ll link the X-Treme Tape for Dust Joints below. Hope this helps or gives some encouragement! -Drew www.rockler.com/x-treme-tape-for-dust-joints?country=US&sid=V91040&promo=shopping&PL&gclid=CjwKCAjw4ayUBhA4EiwATWyBrkkvN14qPa9W-IAemjCS9WIXhjvXJkL_k6qptL_MU519qOv0ZQbAIRoCng4QAvD_BwE Ps. If you want to see screenshots send me a message. Also, we might have different model numbers but I don’t think the design has changed drastically that much over the years.

@@greenlandwoodworking4407 Drew, thanks for sharing your experience. It is really weird then because my vacuum filter gets clogged in almost no time. And the thing is you can connect the hoses in any way so there is no margin of opportunity to get connections in the wrong place. Super strange situation for sure. Thank you again Drew.

I would like to know about the canister system that I see in the background of this video. I am brand new to woodworking, but have a few things I have picked up at yard sales in the past. I have a 2 bag system that looks alot like the one you have, but yours has been modified with a canister and plastic bag. Do you have a video on this ? I really need it. Thanks

Please can you tell me what type and model of filter is for cement or concrete dust. when doing a polish. thanks

I love it

[@garyhome7101]

Maybe someday someone will actually come up with a reducer attachment that fits either the ID or OD of my 4 inch dust port on my cabinet saw. A 4 inch adapter does not fit the ID or OD - it is an exact match. In the mean time? Tape and miss-fitting adapters.

[@SteveCarmichael]

Anyone with a 3D printer could easily make one for you.

[@garyhome7101]

@@SteveCarmichael That might be true if I knew someone who had one, but completely not the point. It's a complete industry miss - whether intentional or not - to not produce available couplings in correct dimensions to fit standard port sizes.

[@ron0126]

Gary Gibbons sounds like a business opportunity for you

[@clayvansickle1]

Try a 4” rubber hose gasket

[@garyhome7101]

@@ron0126 Maybe so. I'm not interested in going down that path at this stage of my life though! duct tape will have to do!

Интересная идея

[@rivernet62]

I’m seeing an awful lot of power-sapping spiral flex hose

[@MAGAMAN]

3:43, or just buy a better router table. Everything else can be solved with a cheap 3d printer and a few bolts and nuts.

[@AlbiWiedersberg]

What are you talking about?

[@showspotter]

i didnt know john gruden did woodworking

[@LZACCARO]

Fantastic solution to clean the shop!!!! Thank you guys . LZACCARO

[@Supermuttt]

It might be cheaper for me to buy a 3D printer and make my own adapters, thanks for the ideas though.

[@namulit]

As long as you have a 3D printer already... :) But do big 3D-printed parts that have enough strength under constant pressure or tension to hold together? Wouldn't such parts need glass fibre or similar for strengthening? Some of these Rockler parts seem rather flimsy too...

[@FrankTranDesign]

1000% Do NOT get the flex hose version. I have it and I feel like it gets in my way more than it helps. Everything else is incredible though. Flex hose complaint: once the vacuum turns on, the hose wants to retract. I would then be fighting against the retraction proportional to my vacuum's suction strength. It quickly becomes tiring to try to use my tools, stay safe, and keep my station clean. And anything that adds risk should be removed from my process.

[@rockler]

Hi Frank, We appreciate your honest feedback. We will pass this along to our product development team. Have you seen our Fixed Length Flexiport Hose? - pulse.ly/euy8wzcec1 - It may be more suitable to you. Thanks

[@FrankTranDesign]

@@rockler Hi, Yes. That was the one I missed out on. I had a choice between the two when they were on sale and I thought the space savings would be worth it. I would actually like to get the Fixed Length Flexiport one someday soon

[@rockler]

There is a 20% off coupon you can use on the Dust Right products until 12/24/22. For the Flexiport hose you have now, we just released an upgrade kit to the new Click-Connect hose adapters and it incorporates an airflow-control ring that can be rotated to release vacuum pressure and alleviate the issue of the hose retracting. Another option to look into. Thanks.
