[@JeanPaulConnock]

Sorry if I've missed it, but could you share the type of blower that you use in this video? Thanks!

[@StumpyNubs]

@@JeanPaulConnock It works with any blower. If you have a question about your blower, I recommend contacting the filter company through their website.

[@SeanKelly1]

@@StumpyNubs for those of us shopping around for used gear, it would be great to know what blower we saw in the video to get a rough idea of CFM, etc. that this is moving.

[@JeanPaulConnock]

That's basically what I was looking for .. some handholding to buy a blower, which when I type it out, seems a bit silly. But that was the intent of my question. Thank you both!

[@josephgalatha21]

@@JeanPaulConnock same here. I'm running on a 6 gallon shop-vac with a hand-made dust separator made of 5 gallon buckets. The separator works great, but nowhere near enough CFM enough to even grab the stuff I'm trying to catch coming off my table saw or radial-arm saw. Some of us have to start with the blower and go from there.

[@artswri]

You only get one set of lungs. Spending some $ and time to protect them makes extremely good sense (!) Thanks for another valuable vid on safety.

[@skigglystars9525]

Just as expected - something new learned today. It's never a waste of time watching your content. Thank you for sharing.

[@pawpawstew]

That's a great how-to video. Another option to mounting a bag under the fikter is get another 5 gallon bucket screw-on lid and do the same operation, but mount it on the underside of the filter. It'll catch anything that blows by and can easily be unscrewed to empty. Another even better option is just do a single-stage to two stage conversion with an Oneida cyclone. I appreciate the great how-to content, so keep em coming, James!

[@hgbugalou]

Another vote for Oneida cyclones. I have a large one and barely anything gets by it. I have just a bag on my blower and probably should get a pleated filter, but honestly so very little gets past the cyclone the bag really doesn't accumulate much. Sure its a little expensive but it sure beats fighting with clogged filters and full bags.

[@tribefan740]

I've had a dust collection system for years. I thought the cloth filter captured most of the dust. I finished modifying my system today to add a filter based on your video. The amount of dust collected by the filter is a significant improvement. My lungs thank you for making this video.

[@patchesofgreen3832]

Wow. This is an excellent video. I am an avid fan, and as I have finally moved into my small shop, I especially appreciate these vids made from r my situation. I was worried about the size of dust collector I needed and now I am not. Thank you so much.

[@Butterball3588]

Very well done on the use of the 5 gallon bucket! Never would have thought to use one of those.

[@pauljs75]

Add a (draw through) cyclonic collector ahead of the blower stage. Only minimal stuff makes it into the fan or filter. And filter lasts a lot longer as most debris and even dust ends up in the can of the cyclone stage.

[@lanzer22]

Sccrolled down to look for this comment. :) I felt my wallet thinning out seeing dust fall directly into that large, and I assume expensive, filter.

[@egbluesuede1220]

Really good suggestion as well as explanation why something like this is important. Small shops or hobbiest like myself get intimidated by "proper" dust collection. It can be real easy to spend time and money to install dust collection, but if you don't do it correctly, you may still end up breathing a lot of dust. that simple flashlight test convinced me this is worth checking out

[@skeery2605]

I used a 6"-5" fernco rubber fitting to connect my cyclone to my dust collector. That will work perfectly on your system without modding the metal pipe or have possible leaks. It will take a little stretching. Its one of the simpler ways to get it connected, I think. I haven't had any issues yet. As of now it also seems to just flexible enough to remove it if there was any clogs.

[@robertlitman2661]

On my home-made shop dust collector, I had a similar door, in my case for rectangular filter insertion. I hinged it, and used a window sash lock on the opposite side that draws it tight into the weather stripping. Much faster access than using screws.

[@ryanc8188]

I would get get a pressure gauge to keep an eye on how full your filter is. The other thing to remember is with a finer filter it will fill faster, especially with fine dust creators like sanders. I've run an Oneida air cyclone for about 10 years with HEPA filters and have to replace them about every 5 years.

[@Yawles]

I like a small clear vinyl hose with a u-shape and colored water for a pressure indicator.

[@sammygee7125]

I always love your videos, but this one is special: I just bought a Harbor Freight dust collector with the intention of stealing the blower for a better setup. Now I know exactly what I want my setup to look like! Thank you, man! You've saved me a lot of trial, errors, and headaches.

[@A6Legit]

Which one did you get? Their central machinery 70gal 2hp dust collector appears to be the best performance to price point, but im not a huge fan of CM in general. Apples to apples though, 2hp (inflated?) for $230 is cheaper than other budget brands 1hp models...

[@farmcat3198]

Pretty cool. Thanks!

[@alsmith7316]

Great video. My issue with running configurations like this is the fact the filter will fill with dust and clog. Best to separate out as much as possible before the filter. This setup works to capture dust, but the filter will clog up and need to be cleaned rather quickly.

[@willchoate7072]

I have the big harbor freight dust collector, the roll around, I forget the name, wood crafter dust collector and my first real dust collector I bought about 25-30 years ago from Delta. Plus a couple of shop vacs. The big one from harbor freight is located in the lumber storage room and piped to the shop on the suck side. With the blow side piped outside. The roll around, I think it's woodtec brand? Still has the bag and is hooked to the planner and to the jointer. The smallest collector is the delta and it's in a weather proof box on the outside of the shop next to the wall that has my woodcarving desk. It sucks through the wall and blows outside. We have 3 1/2 acres so the arrangement doesn't bother anyone. The planner and joiner are more shavings than dust. Plus I'm old and getting close to the end of the trail anyway...lol.. I also use a bucket cyclone for the shop vacs.

[@kevinmcintosh8749]

I wonder this all the time. Even on these big KZbin woodworking channels they have their dust collectors in their shops. Why not move them out of the shop or at least vent them out?

[@WindRidgeWoodCrafts]

Always great info, James. I'm currently dealing with a shop-vac and Home Depot's DusTopper in our garage. We plan on moving to a new home and having a dedicated shop area where I can get some better dust collection going. I'll keep this in mind when that time comes.

Im running two 20" "simple deluxe" industrial fans that I bought on amazon. They claim to be 4650 cfm each on high. One of them on low moves more air than a box fan on high, and it runs quieter. Its been great for keeping fine dust out and getting fresh air in when I am staining or using finishes. Well worth ~$100

[@brentjohnson6654]

That's a sweet canister filter!

[@ICGedye]

I have been using canister filters for mobile extractors when students are sanding. We use a wide collection hood on a flexible hose. Recently I noticed that after not even a year dust coming off the outside of the filter when I used the agitator handle to shake off loose dust inside. I am not sure if this cloud of dust was from inside the filter or just from atmospheric dust settling on the outside. I decided to sheath the whole thing in a Hepa filter bag for a big drum vacuum. This has improved the situation. I do aim to replace the filter at some point, but at £150 a pop and after not so much use, that can wait a bit. Great video as always :)

[@A6Legit]

Im only running a rigid shopvac for now 😕 I made a dust cyclone following Chris Notap's video which helped a lot. I used 2" pvc pipe/fittings and put it on a rolling base bungeed to my vacuum. Its worked well for me, saves me from having to empty out the shop vac as often, and it keeps the filter unclogged longer. The filter only gets fine particles and the rest is caught in the cyclone. I have clear flex hose on most of my machines so I can plug the cyclone into whichever im using. Some of them are joined with a Y connector and blast gates to save time always dragging it to each machine.

[@tropifiori]

I think if you have a steady stream of fresh air in the workspace blowing out of the shop ( as suggested in the mining literature) this will deal with fine dust escaping the filter and you don’t have to do all this. If that kind of airflow is not practical ( winter) your process seems like a good option. Nice video Frank

[@BouncingTribbles]

Just looking at your shop it's clear that the extra filtration is making a huge difference. It's so clean on your shelves, it almost looks like a store display

[@andrewr2650]

great video and a very clear explanation, I will point out that on Wynn's website that particular filter is not intended for single stage use, its intended for 2 stage systems with a cyclone separator before the blower. they have a different model filter for single stage applications that has an extra filter layer on the inside to keep chips out of the filter pleats.

[@kellyvcraig]

I have two identical "four bag," three horse dust collectors. Once has canister filters and the other has after-market bags. Even without test equipment, you can note a big difference in air draw between the two. The one with canisters is running through a Super Dust Deputy, but still does a bit better than the bag unit.

[@wolfman75]

[@II-MEDIC-II]

@Stumpy Nubs - thanks for sharing, these hepa filters will help protect you and your family those fine particles which will really make quality of life poor as you get older. I've used these in different forms for heavy metals, powder paint & phenolic dust so keep up the good 👍 content and promoting good working practices, safety & making it look good 🙂👍

[@jonq8714]

I made a Pentz cyclone out of thick aluminum sheet metal (basically the clearvue design), and the impeller is a used Torvit 18" that I got on used on eBay. It's 5 horsepower, and a beast. I have a bin for the dust and the chips, but the fine dust isn't sent through a filter, it's ported right outside... that set up works great for me. Sure, it sucks the heat out in the winter, but my shop is a hobby and not a business, so I'm not running my collector all day, and my gas powered heater warms the garage right back up fairly quickly.

[@mykehoole5787]

Another great video, good timing as I’m currently trying to design a dust extractor/collector for my garage workshop. I live in Chesterfield, Derbyshire in England and over here, the availability and cost of the system components is not as good as it is for you in America. I’m going to start with a shop vac with a cyclone separator but plan to build a larger dust collection system later this year but still want to use a larger Cyclone. Thanks for your inspiration.

[@theclarks6280]

I made my filter with a Wynn filter and used gamma seal kits at the top and bottom. Instead of using a bag I just use a 5 gal. bucket at the bottom. Much easier to take off and on.

[@hamilde]

I have a suggestion for an additional improvement. Add another screw on bucket lid to the bottom of your filter just like you did in the top (with the center cut out) . Then you can just screw a clear or at least, a translucent 5 gallon bucket to the bottom of the filter instead of clamping a plastic bag to it. It is a lot more convenient to empty the dust out, And a lot faster.

[@ImBooX2]

I see somebody mentioned doing a remote extractor for a small shop. I was going to say similar, a good thing I read the comments. Even if the shop is not small it is a good idea. A friend has his shop in what was a detached two-car garage at a house he bought a couple years ago and he built enclosures off of the back wall. We'd talked about this long ago. One is built at one end of the back wall and houses his dust collector and the other one is a good 20' from the other at the other end of the back wall and houses his air compressor. No airborne dust in the shop from his dust collector and the exhaust stirring up the air and the air compressor encloser has sound deadening foam in it...he recently bought a MUCH quieter compressor, you can't hear it at all in the shop. Both add-ons are accessible outside. I'm sending him the link for this video, even with the remote extractor he may want to do this filter set-up.

[@Mark_Wood]

I like big canister filters and I can not lie....

Alternatively, let your dust collector bag live outside of your workshop, especially if your workshop is small...

[@waterboy8999]

Another option. I upgraded my original Delta cloth bag with a 1 micron bag from American Fabric Filter in 2003. They supplied a large diameter top bag and an impermeable cotton canvas bottom bag. The top bag is suspended from the ceiling joists by loops in my basement. Empty bottom bag when full. It was the best move I made in years. Sorry, I don’t have the receipt with the cost. I couldn’t be more pleased. A simple upgrade if you want to stick with a cloth bag. It does take some use to build an inner layer of dust to reach maximum filtration.

This is a great suggestion, for interior applications, but sure sure of expense for filters! Simpler mount the system on the out side the shop on the side of your building or shed, then breath easy and less noise in your shop and save your money! Ps do the same for your vacuum and air pumps !!!!!

Great content. It's good to see a nice conversion. I would highly recommend that you include a cyclone dust separator prior to the dust going into your expensive filter. Adding a cyclone separator will prolong the life of your expensive pleated filter by 5-20 times.

"Adding a cyclone separator will prolong the life of your expensive pleated filter by 5-20 times..." - That's not true at all. You can easily clean the filters over and over again. The cyclone may reduce the frequency of cleaning, but not extend the life. And the cyclone will definitely reduce your airflow on a small system like this.

@@StumpyNubs on further thought, you are right. A small system needs all the air flow it can get and likely will not be used enough to wear out the filter. I was thinking more about my system which is much larger and not at all comparable. Thanks again for the great content.
