Workshop Dust Collection System. Where to start.

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I still can't get over how much the wood wall looks so awesome on your shop walls . You did everything right by repurposing materials too. Even though the wood was planed, it still has the aged warmth that I love of wood. When I had my shop walls sheatlhed, I was to busy to do it myself, so I higher two guys to do it for me. Small, well tiny 10x16 ft shop, so I figured a two day job at the very most. Now they came recommended to me by a friend, so I had no doubt they could handle this on their own. I gave them explicit instructions, there was a language difference, but they said they knew what I wanted. So I left them to it. Well I got back and not only did they put up osb instead of the beadboard plywood i wanted, but they put the printed side facing out! They wanted to save me money they said and get the job under budget for me. It's not like they pocketed the savings, they didn't. They were sincere, so I let it go. Well, several years later and I still hate it. My only solution is to paint it and put the french cleats back up over it. I wanted real bead board plywood and saved for it. This was during COVID when prices went through the roof here in the NE. So I appreciated their gesture and they are still friends and have done other odd jobs for me, correctly though. Did you seal the walls? By the way, that is the perfect size shop for what you do. I have and extention going onto mine soon. More tools than space. But your shop is very efficiently set up too.

Great video, man! I'm going to use PVC to more permanently set up my side of the garage for woodworking this fall. I really like how you sat down and went over the different parts. Thanks, and I can't wait for the next video!

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Thanks! Just don’t glue it! I’ll explain in the next video.

Hola!🖐Thanks for all the info and for pointing out some early pitfalls before you put this all together. I'm going to the next video where you have this all put together. I'm ever so close to BEGIN building my shop, I just emptied out my two car garage and dust collection is top of mind. Take care and have a good one, Adios!👊

Great video

[@terrydavenport7018]

Hey Matthew, could you do a short video on your miter saw shroud. Thx love your videos

[@shawnr771]

Cool.

[@josephbazor2430]

Do you have a link to the dust collector motor that you are using? Great information!

[@mrniusi11]

An alternative to those rockler adapters: electrical tape. Wrap to size and save. Could use paper with tape to add thickness. I used electrical tape to increase the size of nonstandardized ports on my Armor auto pocket hole jig and my skil router. All my Milwaukee have 1-1/2" and so the Rockler Dust Right click connect work great.

[@mikejackson2888]

Thanks for the tips. I have the Rockler Dust Right 1 1/2 HP but I have never run solid lines. I have a small space with plans to move to a little larger area in my basement. May run solid lines then. Are you using a cyclone system to collect most of the debris before the Dust Right?

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

No worries! And no I’m not. You’ll see a lil better in this next video. I ran my outfeed outside of my shop into a collection bin. That way there’s no need for a bag and there’s no resistance from the bag filter.

[@wilbo3376]

Love the channel. Everythings well explained in a simple way. Just a thought.. any reason I couldnt use basic HVAC tin pipe instead of pvc. Finding the right connectors may be tough I guess

[@justinkrusko9684]

Do you have any concerns with static build up in the lines?

[@JB-tp9we]

This is also my question. What you are supposed to do is wrap a copper wire around the pipe and connect I to ground otherwise you can have a major explosion that will ruin your day! I worked for 22 years in the feed and grain industry and we NEVER used plastic pipeing for that very reason. You may get away with it or you may not..... BOOOOOM!

[@TheDonbjr]

I wish you gave a better description of the parts you’re using, or part numbers. “Use this thing, you can buy it at Rockler”. What is this “thing” called? A coupler of some sorts I’m guessing but there is all kinds of different types of couplers. Anyway, thanks for the video.

[@theoneperfectguy]

Question my friend. I am setting up my shop FINALLY with dust collection. I got black 4in sewer and drainage corrugated tubing for free. Would that work? Or would I lose air flow?

[@Realism91]

My PVC fits directly to my machines snug, so I cut little rings of PVC and put it inside the coupling at the machine, the pipe fits not the couplings, it's not the same with yours?

[@mikecase3429]

How did you buy your dust collection motor by its self

[@leonelgonzalez3288]

I heat my pvc with heat gun, to make it fit!

[@TheWebMindset]

I’d love to dump the dust outside but pushing 1100 cfm of heated air outside in the winter is too much. Dang!

[@Realism91]

I wasn't able to dump outside so I put a cyclone and instead of using a bag vented into the attic where it's naturally hot in the day, if someone horded filters they could do a drop ceiling that has filters instead of panels and vent it into their, it would help dampen sound too if it was a youtuber. Of course you'd need automatic overflow protection setup at the cyclone so you don't fill thick dust up there.
