Now you have built it you can use it as a head porting flow table and test the flow of each port in a cylinder head . A simple hand held air flow meter will work with a bit of grease to seal the head to the table .

[@77Avadon77]

The best way for most guys to do this is go to a junkyard. You can find something that you can convert into such a table. At my junk yard they often have Stainless steel deli tables. you could easily Convert something instead of fabricating from scratch

[@joehanna501]

Here's a tip if you ever find yourself in need of a knarley fan. Hit up your local HVAC company. They usually have junk units stacked up like cord wood and commercial units have huge air handlers in them. A home furnace air handle would have been smaller with similar or more power, perfect if you need to scale down for a smaller shop. Thanks so much for making this!

[@ericvansplinter8275]

Glad to see you are concerned about your health. From experience use ear protection for everything. Finally got my hearing checked after 25+ years in construction- circular saws, reciprocating saws, air compressors, hammer drills, angle grinders, nail guns, bench grinders, cut-off saws etc...Turns out I can't hear much of anything out of my right ear (basically deaf in it) and I lost the ability to hear certain frequencies in my left, the same frequencies that my daughters voice sometimes hits, while yes it sounds humorous... it is ,to me, sad... I don't know how much I have missed in conversations with her! I use plugs and muffs now trying to save what little hearing I have left. SIDE BENEFIT, I wish I would have used muffs years ago, turns out idiots don't try to talk to you when you have them on..makes it easier to ignore them and not appear rude!

[@gordowg1wg145]

Very sorry to read that, it is one of the things that can creep up on you without realising as the brain and ear partially compensate for the loss - and by the time you realise there is a problem it is far, far too late. For you, it is an unfortunate, classic example of what I tell the kids who don't think it matters "do you want to be able to hear the laughter of your grandchildren at play?" Personally, I used the ear muffs I could find - left ear canal is quite small and most plugs don't fit - and after working in many noisy industries and around noisy engines, when I had my hearing checked a few years ago, in my mid fifties, they were really surprised just how good it still was - better, they thought, than many of the teenagers who were tested who listened to music on earbuds - I've know quite a few who listen at volume levels high enough for my to identify their 'music' from another room, FFS! It helps that when I do listen to music, etc, I do tend to have the volume well down - well, mostly... - especially at night when the radio volume is easy to hear yet so low that I can have problems hearing it during the day over normal background sounds.

[@bryanleverett2830]

This is my favorite thing I’ve seen built on the channel.

[@shophacks]

This is a great looking table. I'm not trying to be "that guy" but I encourage you to use a particle counter to test to see if you are filtering the dust or just blowing most of the small particles through the filter and fan. It's easy to miss the really fine dust because it is too small to see. This is certainly a lot better than no filtration but if you get a particle counter you will see that your shop still gets way over healthy limits. Amazon sells air quality meters for around $150 now. That would be enough to know what is working and what's not. I've done a lot of filtration testing, including testing with box fans and filters and I can say for sure that you won't get good flow AND efficient filtration with just one filter. You will need much more filter area and higher-grade filters to get good flow and good filtration using a box fan. A squirrel cage blower develops around 5x more pressure than a box fan so you can use multiple stage filtration which is a good idea when you are filtering high concentrations of dust. That is an awesome looking table.

[@mxcollin95]

What brand of air quality meter would you recommend? (From a cost vs. accuracy standpoint? I’m on a bit of a budget.)

[@mxcollin95]

Thanks for the interesting comment. 👍

[@shophacks]

@@mxcollin95 I use a Dylos DC1100 pro with a computer interface so I can log particle counts over time. It's not a professional grade particle counter but it works well and doesn't cost $$4,000. There have been a lot of new air quality monitors come on the market since I bought the Dylos 4 years ago so you can probably find something less expensive now. Formaldehyde and VOCs are also common pollutants in workshops and some of the new meters measure those also. I check particle counts outside to use as a reference. With my air filtration system my shop air typically registers at about 1/10th the particle counts compared to outside air.

[@mxcollin95]

Shop Hacks thank you very much for the info!

[@joshuamiller5620]

if It's not filtering the dust, The fan will fry after about two weeks of heavy use. Ask me how I know.

[@headlesnorseman701]

I was also one of the people that said those fans pulled a good amount of vacuum but make almost zero pressure on the positive side. The reason this works is because you did it right for that type of fan, filter on the vacuum side with a proper duct(just like mech fan from a car). source - Mech engineer BTW been watching your channel since you were in the tan garage with the Harley. Definitely cool to see the operation grow like this. always makes me feel like i can go out and build whatever i dream up

Excellent! I think the only thing I would change would be to extend the raised grill to the right hand side in place of the drop down side. Keep the left side hinged, but make the right an air intake too as the majority of the sparks are heading that way due to the direction of the grinder rotation. The vape test was very helpful!

Definitely clean these out. Had one explode at a place I worked at. The explosion from metal powder sucked air into the wear house so quick I could feel and hear the building breath and man it was loud. The sanding operator had burns all over his arms hands and beard was burnt like hell. Burnt the latex gloves down to the rolled up ends at the wrist that was all that was left Paper sleeves were also gone.

[@MarkSchuster-ym3iy]

I made one for wood sanding. I found a used furnace blower. You can get a direct drive multi speed or just the cage and a separate induction motor. Much more powerful. Up I just put the blower inside then furnace filters all the way around the front and back. Ofcoarse wood has a lot more dust maybe you. Could get by with filters on the side maybe the back. I don’t reuse those house fans. Go to any commercial hvac guy or company usually they have tones of them laying around for replacements cheap.

[@randallsemrau6911]

I built something similar to this utilizing two fans, but I noticed that many metal particles obviously had more inertia than the vacuum in this unit could capture. I literally quadrupled the power with furnace fan motors, yet was still finding stuff on the floor. It takes a lor of airflow to capture high speed grinding debris. The only thing that truly works, is to build tall sheet metal barriers on three sides, and to carefully direct the debris in that direction.

[@nelsonhochberg5182]

Nice project! I can suggest one very small addition to increase the air flow and reduce the sound level a bit more. Add cylindrical sheet metal shrouds around the fans attached to the flat sheet metal just inside the fans to reduce back flow around the fans. Also, I am surprised since you have that fancy laser cutter that you didn't cut a nice looking grill in the flat sheet metal outside of the fans instead of using the cheap plastic grills.

[@georgedennison3338]

Great DIY, and definitely something I need to build for the new 'grinding room' I'm adding to my shop. As I mentally ran through what I already had to build one, I remembered the squirrel cage fan and motor I just saw this morning as I was digging through my plumbing inventory, looking for what I needed to get water flowing again, (burst pipe this past Winter has morphed into re-plumbing my house.) I scavenged the 12-14" diameter squirrel cage fan from an old, old commercial refrigerator unit, (the one's grocery stores are throwing out). For an application like this, they will work great because the motor is not in the air path. The only downside to using a box fan is the grit will flow right past the motor of the box fan, and it will not live long. Old commercial squirrel cage fans have greaseable bushings for the fan, so keep it full of grease, and no harm should come to it, as long as you duct it well enough to keep the grit on the fan side of the assy. Hope this helps someone.. GeoD

[@wanderingcalamity360]

Sounds like good info to me. I'll keep an eye out for a couple of those.

[@FrequencyOfThought]

You know my alternative is a Dust collector from harbor freight and some vacuum hoses that go to each cutting / sanding station. I use levered baffles to turn off the stations I don't want to use. Not as good but it's better than getting grinder dust particulate or chop saw grit all over the shop and in your lungs. If you're anything like me you wonder what the fuck chemicals and things go into the manufacturing process off these cutoff wheels etc. I have some of the same concerns and we all should.

[@mastermat630]

not really the best setup for grinding metal

[@lots_of_fishing6536]

Respirator

[@physicsguybrian]

Excellent concept and problem solving!!! Worth considering: The fans really need to be industrial units that can handle the load when pulling against back pressure caused by a dirty filter and/or large objects blocking the ports. As it is the overlap between the rubber pad and the lower holes has already somewhat impeded the flow. Sure the fans will work but they will also eventually give up. Plus, unless your filters are capable of keeping minute metallic (aka conductive) particles from making it inside the motor assemblies (standard house fans have zero protection against such things) , a short circuit and/or arcing could occur leading to damage or even worse, a fire. Motors/fans designed for these applications are more expensive because they are designed for years of service under heavy loads and nasty materials. Down the road, I see another video where you eventually build adapter plates to mount the new industrial units. Love the Spaceballs reference!

[@haylspa]

if you put those fans in a round duct you will increase those fans ability, turbulence at the tips of the blades cause drag there for they work harder and push a lot less air the closer you can close those gaps the better, as clean as it looks you could just fabricate four corners to make the round duct and just fit them in the fans current frame

[@BridgerviewBob]

Amazing build! A true craftsman. Caution, those exposed fan motors will likely fail due to fine particle grit carry over that will occur around & through the filter. Those cheap residential fans just don't hold up in that environment. Also, without a spark guard on the inlet to the filter, expect to see some melting or burning of the filter element. Ask me how I know...Been there, done that.
