Small Two Stage Dust Collection System (Rockler Dust Right & Dust Deputy Cyclone)

[@charlesgarito1155]

Two of my newest interests, guitars and woodworking. I”ve watched many videos on both subjects since retiring and yours on dust collection for a small shop was what I have been looking for. Too many videos focus on craftsman who earn a living or are looking to profit from the videos. As a hobbiest I enjoy every minute in the shop with no pressures about earning money from it. Thanks for this well made video.

[@crazycdn8327]

Just want to say, new science shows the most dangerous particles to woodworkers is 0.3-5 micron, though 5-10 are equally as bad but most even cheap systems take care of them. But the truly dangerous stuff is under 2 microns. I know this is a 3 yr old video now, but you can upgrade your filter, it will be taller/longer but they're not that much more expensive to go down to that 0.2 or 0.3 micron size. Great video, thanks!

[@wakelywanderer12]

This is an excellent video. I put together this system today. The instructions for the canister filter were useless, I just used your information. Thanks.

[@Grampiswoodshop]

Thanks for the video. I'm about to move to florida and set up my retirement shop. This really helps.

[@northerndarklight5305]

Good job. I had EXACTLY the same system, which was a bit underpowered for my mid-sized wood shop. Some of the machines were just too far away. I recently upgraded to the 1250 CFM model, with the larger 1 micron filter. I kept the existing Dust Deputy Deluxe, and Dust Right hoses and fittings. It works so well, I'm flabbergasted, and that's rare. It's a very good system, but for safety's sake, I also have a Jet dual filter air filtration system to give the air another scrubbing. It cycles the air in my shop about 15 times per hour. Better safe than sorry.

[@jeffreysears3517]

for your opinion, it what scenario would one need a 1250 vs a 650?

[@UTBanjo]

@@jeffreysears3517 IMHO, if you are using a lathe or power jointer you automatically need the 1250(or an even larger system). Also, if most of your machines are more than 10 feet(3 meters) from your collector.

[@TheArtOfLutherie]

Thanks James, I totally agree. That bigger version wasn't available yet when I made the video, otherwise I would have mention it as well.

[@YummyPork]

Stopped in at Rockler yesterday and started getting the parts of this same build for my basement shop. Thanks for the great video. One tip I learned there was for the plastic bag. Since they are reusable, glue a small magnet (like a flexible fridge magnet) along the top edge to hold the bag in place while you position it over the canister.

[@marcnaidu5804]

Useful video. Nice and clear voice . No cheesy music. Quick note ... horsepower does not equate with suction power. It’s motor power. Lower horsepower machines can have better suction. Better measure of suction is CPM

[@Painfulwhale360]

I was hoping to buy this model tonight because I just got done putting together my CNC machine a day or two ago (X-carve) and need dust collection. This 650cfm model is out of stock on Rocklers website but their 1250cfm model is in stock but twice the price of this. But one other thing is that it has a wireless remote on and off so that’s really handy for my use. Oh well, I appreciate your video!

[@jewdd1989]

Now I regret buying my wall hung shop vac lol. This was very helpful though, I think it’s an important discussion and your demonstration is clear and makes a lot more sense than the obnoxious pipe systems many end up using which is great for some but just not practical for ppl like myself who aren’t full time or even selling work yet

I think I'll mount this on the wall near the miter saw. Thanks for posting. Enjoyed your delivery; honest and to the point; much appreciated.

[@joedance14]

Nice video and article. Did not see the link to the referenced study, which I would like to read. One point: in the video and article photo, the clear hose makes a tight 180 degree bend to go behind the canister filter and down to the cyclone. Tight bends like that cost performance. Thanks again!

Short story: I'm a Respiratory Care Practitioner and avid woodworker. Woke up one morning terrible chest pain. I intermittently wear mask. Doesnt go away wife forces me to go to ER. Not heart...go home. Woodworking mentor says he did exact same thing in past. He thinks he sucked in some wood dusk that really irritated his lungs.. I analyzed it and that was probably what it was.

The following information is not scientific or about any one person, it is just my experience as an RN working with ventilated patients. By the time I was forced to retire from Nursing in 2011 I had had 24 years experience, with about 10 years in critical care. There are any number of diseases that cause people to end up requiring to be placed on a ventilator. Naturally, the majority of these diseases are respiratory in nature: smoking various forms of tobacco, working in plants that put out hazardous chemicals, working in mines, working in unventilated woodworking shops, working around woodworking materials without proper face masks, etc. Although I am an RN, I developed asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease due to chronic bronchitis. I have witnessed so many patients on ventilators, due to various diseases, and then see them just struggling to breath on the machine. Sometimes, in spite of the machine trying to breath for them, their bodies gave out and the patients died. So many of us in the woodworking industry work with little to no machine filtration, and/or shop air filtration, and we can and will develop lung diseases. At the very least, you owe it to your family and yourself to at least wear some type of face mask to protect your lungs from the harmful destruction of saw dust!

[@paulmckeough1783]

Hey there, just want to echo this sentiment. I am also an RN working in a critical care setting with lot of respiratory patients. I’ve also seen a fair amount of COPD patients, not so much from woodworking, more from smoking and a little from industrial work. Doesn’t matter what causes any form of the respiratory conditions, it isn’t pleasant to observe someone struggling to breath and going the the anxiety that causes. I imagine it’s similar to breathing through a standard straw. I started woodworking as my hobby about 2 yrs ago, one of the first things I bought was a silicone Mask with N95 filters. While I use it all the time, I have found the fine dust particles build up everywhere and where you would least expect it. It matters when you are not wearing your mask and you go to move something while not really doing your craft and there is a small amount of dust that gets kicked up, this now makes its way into your lungs. I’ve found myself with some minor lung irritation. My current dust collection is just a small shop vac, and have been researching a more powerful and efficient system. I also plan to get an air filter, WEN makes one for about $120 on Amazon, I figure no amount of money is too much to protect your lungs and prevent the struggle I’ve witnessed. Thank you for this awesome review. I just subscribed to your channel, even though I’m not really interested in building guitars (I might be later, lol) but you have a great bedside manner! Thanks for being clear, thorough and welcoming in your presentation. Looking forward to discovering your content

[@jamesfriesen9633]

One suggestion: If you could somehow set up the on/off switches so that when you turn on a tool, like your sander for instance, it automatically turns the dust collector system on, then you wouldn't have to turn on the dust collector separately.

[@NoName-qk9fw]

Your tutorial helped me correctly assemble my 650 CFM Dust Right system and hang it on the wall. I ordered two 10 foot lengths of Rocklers clear 4 inch dust hose. I was able to attach one end to the Rockler blast gates I ordered, but that was a struggle. I purchased other hose fittings I needed to finish the assembly but I cannot attach them to the hose, period. One of these fittings was a coupler with the left hand threads which I assumed would be easy to attach to the hose but it would not work. The hose does not work with the fittings on 4/5 Dust Deputy either. Do you have any ideas?

total cost for what was shown is roughly $897.97 (as of may 2020). Depending on the number of adapters you get and length of hose that $ figure increases.

[@joeygonzo]

way too much . just get the real one

[@funfreq9282]

Totally agree! Onida and Rockler are pretty proud of their stuff! Way to much for what it is. The cyclone is nothing more than molded plastic so the profit margin must be huge on that piece. The blower motor, Harbor Freight makes one that looks pretty close to it for under $160 and the bucket, what is that cardboard and tin? The profit margins that are built in these parts are astronomical. The only thing that is the limiting factor is the size of his shop! Otherwise a free standing unit from Grizzly or similar would have been a better bang for the buck!

I’m not sold on this system but it gives me good direction. I would like to know if after a month or so of use, are you finding find dust? My guess is no because you upgraded to the good filter. From what I’ve seen, that a must. Again, thanks for a great video.

[@victoryfirst2878]

The story you stated about respiratory problems is extremely common in just about any work field with dust. Most of the problem is most guys just do not take preventive precautions. There is a reason the OSHA insists on lung protection, it is for your safety. When you were talking about losing suction because of long piping is because you did not use long radius pipes in the system and even smaller size pipe. When you calculate C F M correctly you will not have any problem. Today everybody is a jack of all trades Master of none. I believe the last sentence say it all. Please do not think that I am drowning you in any way cause I am NOT. Also, the vortex that you are showing has been around for I would bet you a hundred years. Just look any old factory dealing with dust and you will see vortex many feet tall. That being said you made my day showing the average guy what and how to maybe save his life for the benefit of his family. No one want a fatherless family. Your last statement about the did not notice any difference with performance is flawed because you are not pushing the dust collector to the limit. Just use the prefilter for less work overall. Nice job fella. Keep on making them guitars as people just seem to want more and more of those instruments.

[@Dev-lc4cd]

Its ok to save your own life for your own benefit, that would be smart too.

[@m60mgman]

I like the Rockler 650cfm system, but it’s very loud, about 85dB. They have a new mobile system that’s 750cfm, and much quieter (about 75dB) at about the same price now. Noise mitigation is also important. I made a small mobile system for my shop vac, using the smaller Dust Deputy. It works great!

Do you think this Dust Right system could handle an 18 feet run? I'd been thinking I'd need something with more power, but your comment about efficiency has me thinking this could do the job.

[@ivanaguilar8820]

[@Rebel9668]

I just wear a 3M respirator and sweep up my dust when I'm finished, or use my shop vac. If I install one of those big dust collectors, instead of mounting that bag to it, I'll just run an exhaust pipe through my garage wall and let the dust fly out the back of the garage. I live in a rural area and the worst that can happen is I wind up with a big pile of sawdust behind the garage which I can use for stuff like filling in holes in the yard from moles, etc.

[@jberman-code]

Or also is there a remote option for the switch? Thank you in advance

They are both great. Rockler even makes a more powerful version now, too. The Supercell is just scary powerful. I mean, for real. I have to be careful when I use it for vacuuming up the shop. It's been rock solid, easy to empty, easy to clean, and no issues at all. If you need a serious industrial-grade powerhouse, then the Supercell is better, but the Rocker will work for most people, is a great way to get started with a nice dust collector, and does cost way less.

[@TheArtOfLutherie]

Hi Israel, So glad the review was helpful! You definitely don't have to use the filter. I did, mainly because the tiny amount of dust that makes it past the cyclone is comprised mostly of very fine particles which happen to be the most dangerous. So if you can, it's nice to have the filter that captures those finer particles.

[@archtopguitar1638]

Thanks Tom for this video... You used two types of hose ... one with plastic ribbing and the blue hose with metal wire ribbing. You will need to replace the plastic ribbed hose with the blue hose. After that is done, you must strip off the hose insulation down to the bare wire where you cut the hose ends to length. Then you need to take some bare copper wire which you can get in a kit from Lee Valley tools ... www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop/tools/workshop/dust-collection/parts-and-accessories/62616-grounding-kit-for-dust-collection-systems ... and connect the bare wire end to the metal base of your machine with this wire on the one end and a length of the same copper wire connected from the dust collector frame to the other bare wire end of the hose. WHY? If you don't, static electricity can occur as the cyclone spins and as the chips travel inside the hose rubbing against the those surfaces and the resulting friction can cause sparks which have been known to ignite fire inside the dust collector. I used these banana connectors for speaker cables to make connecting easy for your method... www.amazon.ca/Ltvystore-Speaker-Solderless-Connector-SocketTerminal，Pack/dp/B07M83P2PM/ref=pd_sbs_23_7?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07M83P2PM&pd_rd_r=06f5de95-a1b2-47af-8ffd-7017073aaf9a&pd_rd_w=H4Hhl&pd_rd_wg=CSmH6&pf_rd_p=c7838c3c-6de6-46ad-946c-b7318af714fb&pf_rd_r=EHT7Z9HBX7CK1DNXRB27&psc=1&refRID=EHT7Z9HBX7CK1DNXRB27 Where ever there is friction....there is static electricity....where ever there is raw electricity there are sparks so please retro your duct collection system so that static electricity is GROUNDED....

Nice review! Looking at a similar setup. Have you tried with a thickness planer yet? I am wondering if the small setup still has enough power to effectively work with a small benchtop thickness planer.

Planner will fill up your 15 gallon bucket pretty quickly. I pull my planner out in the driveway and let it plane away. I use a scoop shovel and put it in the dumpster. Now if you doing one board or two every two weeks it will work fine. If your doing a pallet of rough sawn boards do it outside.

This is good information. However wouldn't it be nice if all sanders and other wood working equipment had that large of a connection point for dust collection! This is a huge problem when trying to install a system like this. Nothing is standardized on my equip. That not only makes connecting all of the equipment up very difficult, but changes and reduces the power at each connection point. Evert reducer and elbow really reduces air flow! Findings all of the connectors is a big problem and the end results are difficult to predict. If only there was some standardization to the connection size on wood working equipment! there should be a law that requires some standards for this!

you need a downdraft table.

Gets me thinking. The most famous carpenter of all time died at about 35 years.

He only used hand tools. I don't think it was the dust that got him.

And…He knew He would die young, and did it anyway. Willingly. ❤️

where to buy it in europe?

[@TSPhotoAtlanta]

Did you ever find out?

I think its a lot more than 1% brother. Could be as high as 13%.

If you're worried about the health hazards of dust you should really have a HEPA filter. The one you have only filters down to 1 micron. The real nasty stuff is between 0.3 and 1 micron. And that's not a 3 micron bag. It's a 30 micron bag. Edit: man another thing. That dust collector is 3/4 hp. Not 3hp. No idea where you're getting your specs from but they're all wrong.
