First, great video. Clear voice-over, simple camera angles, and very informative. Second, in my opinion people should start calling out the predatory companies like the one that tried to charge you triple of what another store charged you. Hell, mention them both so local folks know where to shop and where to avoid.
mounting that quick change to the wall is brilliant. No blast gate or cap needed, it never passes air until you pull it from the wall. Great idea, and I will do the same (setting up mine over the next couple weeks).
Ah man this is a great install I’ve been putting mine in to my basement shop with low ceilings. It would be so nice to have this much headspace for routing pipes!
Thanks for your show!
I've given a lot of thought recently to updating the layout of my shop, including the addition of better dust collection. I have the Dust Right 650 wall-mounted with just the 4" expandable hose that I swap between tools. I'm watching this almost four years to the day you posted it, and this has given me some great ideas on a direction to take. Thank you!
Really nice install, and great shop layout -- wish I had that much space. I built a 4" system last year (my vacuum could never handle 6" ducting), and, all the parts came from Rockler as well (I'm lucky to have one just a few miles away).
I did find one issue with the 4" plastic blast gates, that you may or may not run into with the 6" version. On the gates that service the more heavily used equipment (table saw, universal port, chop saw) the dust would collect in the groove that the gate slides into. After a while the gate wouldn't close completely, and suction would suffer, so I'd be constantly cleaning out those grooves with a screwdriver, or awl... Finally, I replaced the plastic gates with metal, self-cleaning blast gates from Lee Valley. Pricier, but worth it to me. No more issues.
Anyway, great video... enjoy the new system.
I just finished building a 4" thin wall PVC system for my shop. Just using a 2hp HF collector, but it's a tiny shop and on a budget. Still feels awesome!
Great mounting brackets! I'm going to need several when I get my dust collection build started. Nicely done!
In my experience, if you drop straight down to each tool (as in the example above), they each act as interceptor collecting bin (you've basically built a venturi port). Dust from the farthest tool can't jump that gap and ends up pooling in the adjacent tool drop. The trick is to have at least a short horizontal section at each fork, so dust heading to the collector doesn't have to jump across any down-pipes... cause it won't! A buddy of mine, who built his as shown above, has to now run around his shop, starting from the farthest tool, and open and close each gate to get the dust to hop from one tool drop to the next on the way to the collector!
Great job love the way you made the brackets it's like having a giant wet vac for the whole shop. Being that saw dust is flammable I would look into some fire prevention system just in case. Love you're shop.
Great video. I just built my own 810sqft shop for woodworking. I started with a cyclone dust collection for my shop vac. So so results. I have been think about a more polished functional dust collection system and your video has me inspired. Love the wooden brackets over metal strapping. Keep the videos coming. Subscribed.
Really awesome system, really satisfying to watch it come together and work. I can't wait to have something like this in my factory one day
I just came across your channel. I love it! I'm taking one end of one of the buildings of the dairy farm I recently bought and turning it into my woodworking shop, 36' x 36'. (A guy needs a get-away.) I have questioned my dust collection from day one. I think you just answered it. Great job. I look forward to your content.
I am so envious of your shop and this dust collection. Though I couldnt use it myself (handicapped), I know that I would if I could AND I know you are going to be very happy with it. Enjoy the extra time woodworking instead of raw cleaning!
It's Feb 2021 and I've been dealing with shortages of just about everything. I checked over a half dozen local plumbing pipe distributors and no one had 6" thin wall PVC. I finally found SDR 35 at a yard specializing in sewer and drain, mostly used for road construction. They had a great price too.
Just installed my CV1800 over the weekend. Great unit
Not sure what is about this video but its so clean, precise and clear information. Very effecient! Thank you, a project I need to tackle👍🏻
I enjoyed this video. Well executed, no waste of time and you actually showed the results with each of your machines. I appreciate that. I am trying to figure out how to set up a dust collection system in a new shop I am having built. It's a 50x60 workshop and my first project is dust collection. This video will help me with that project. Thank you for posting and you have earned another subscriber.
Having grown up pushing boards through table-saws with scraps, that little board pusher you have there is pretty neat.
New woodworker here.... definitely taking notes!! Nice work! Thanks for all the content!
We live in a world with instant messages, we watch instructions seconds on our computers from across the globe.. But dust collection.. We still live in the stone age here in Sweden with our shopvacs and the old hose-impeller bag/filter bag.. Showed my cyclone for a 2" pipe to my dad and he couldnt belive his eyes.. It was like magic..
That is looking slick! Using the silicone tape for the seams is such a good idea. It looks so clean!
Thanks Sharon! Yeah that stuff is pretty perfect. I really didn’t want to cover the pipes in foil tape 😬
Nice job. I just finished my system... 6" main run to the center of my shop, a 6" to dual 4" y-pipe (came with my Grizzly) for sub-runs to my two main tool areas and then with blast gate controlled branches to each tool's flex hose final (4" and 2.5"). I used SDR 35 pipe and found the easiest way to cut it by drilling a small hole and using a jigsaw. SDR 35 pipe and fittings are so much cheaper than schedule 40... about half the cost. My system works great... Grizzly G0944 with an Oneida Super Dust Deputy XL (6" inlet/outlet), wall mounted with easy to remove bin under the Oneida.
Great build.
I worked in a dry food plant, we had metal vacuum system from Hoffman, went to PVC system then back to metal.The biggest problem was static electricity, we solved that with sheet metal screws into the vacuum stream, then attached to copper wire & grounded on conduit or metal poles. The PVC pipe got holes in it much sooner the metal pipe, that the reason we went back to metal. That may not be a problem for you, because we had truck load of salt & sand like waste that cut/ground though the pipe. You have saw dust & wood chips, but I wanted to make you aware of the potential problems. I have never worked in a wood shop with PVC systems, all I worked in had no vacuum system or they had all metal. I am building a small shop for a friend on his farm & we will look at Rockler when we do.
Randomly came across this video. Well done! Love the humor, and the reccomendations!
Looks so amazing and love the sweeping port
Yes, the sweeping port is the slickest part of the system, IMO.
Fantastic video and great timing as we’re tackling dust collection in my shop this weekend!!
Awesome! Good luck!!
Thanks! I'm going to use this idea to vent my four 3D printers with a central system.
Great review/system build. I’ve been brainstorming on how to set up something for my garage. I like this set up a lot. Thanks for sharing.
Love the dust collection. Great job👍🏼
Excellent video and process. You must love it when a plan comes together. Thanks for sharing. I will add this project to my wish list.
Sweet System and Install ! What a huge improvement nice work om all the Custom brackets
If you want to supercharge your system, make an outside dump for your exhaust air. I did it for my 3hp cyclone system, and used 8" pipe to make an outside dump. Built it like a dryer vent, so it doesn't leak rain in, and made a 8" blast gate so I can use the filter on really cold or really hot days. Doubles your air flow when you don't use the filter. And only time it puts dust outside is if you run your barrel over. Puts that really fine dust outside so you don't have to breathe it.
That cyclone system is very nice! I had the same issue on my sander, I just have a 4" blast gate that rests on top of the dust port and it collects pretty much all the dust.
Thanks! Good to know! I’m going to have to do that
@@MichaelAlm have you guys seen Colin Knecht's (WoodWorkWeb) dust collection upgrade for the oscillating spindle/belt sander?

Great video. Informative without allot of fluff. Well shot, not too loud or too long for the content covered.
Great video bud. I wish I had known about that silicon tape when I did mine.
Thanks dude! Yeah that was a tip from someone on instagram, and he told me just in time. I really didn't want to foil tape it. See you at WBC?
@@MichaelAlm yeah. Come to my talk!
same
@@katzmosestools If only we knew then, what we know now... I'm guessing the conference didn't happen?
This gave me a lot of inspiration for my dust collection, thanks.
Very impressive installation and great job running that pipe.
Nice icepick shout-out Love it!
dude this is clean AF! good job and thanks for sharing!
12:31 The silicone tape is the real hero here and looks like it came in handy.....quite handy indeed. Fantastic for re attachment of.. separate tissues. Its properties make it effortless due to the unique way in which it adheres to the human cells. Not only is it effective and inexpensive but its also sexy. The air cleaner was great too. Thank.
WOW!!! a really good job! congratulations!
Real nice review and video my friend! Thanks for sharing. BTW, great looking setup for that dust collector too!
Love this, got something similar planned. Cheers from Australia
I know you said your router table already had great DC, but you can make it even better by using an insert with a bigger hole. It won't affect the safety unless your working with really small wood
@Yo MamaWhy is that incorrect?
Great system. I wish I had the room for such a tall unit. I found for my bandsaw and drill press flexible drain pipe is great for getting the dust on the surface. I actually got one in silver instead of white for $5.00 on eBay. I made some homemade clamps to hold it in place and on the end that is closest to the workpiece is a small rectangle port that actually came with a vacuum cleaner. They do sell them though at Rockler if that is your go-to place.
Nice job. My old system used the thin wall 4” PVC pipe but I never figured the 6” would be so effective. It must be a volume thing 🧐
I’m with Katz Man…love that tape!
impressed by the system. i am gone make it soon to my workshop. thanks for idea.
Don’t know how you don’t have more subscribers. This video was a great watch!
Nicely done man! That suction is incredibly powerful. Great job on the video too
Thanks Johnny!
Nicely done Michael 👍 Very functional too 😃
Great video as always.
I've cut a lot of large PVC pipe on a table saw. The easiest way is to use a sled and a stop block. Push the sled and pipe into the blade and then rotate the pipe slowly with your fingers and you get a perfect 360 degree cut.
Your an artist/craftsman with everything you do.
WOW....what an awesome video. I'm impressed....and I seriously appreciate your time and information.
Great job buddy, not seen to many 6” main track too often....looks awesome too..😎
This is very clean and seems to have plenty of power.
Really nice system! Thanks for posting.
Cool system have a feeling this would work great in my shop.... start saving now...
Great video ! Six inch is the way to go.
Original dust collector also works great with 6 inch pipes.
Plumbing supply in Belleville Ontario Canada selling one 4" by 6" reducer for $56 Canadian .
Using 10 ft flexible until I can source reasonable prices on earth.
Congratulations! 🍾
I dont have plans for dust collection but this was pretty cool to see. Nice job on the video bud. I dig the VO
Thanks dude!
Great install, it looks good and fits perfectly into your shop.
Thanks Dave!
Excellent video and great ideas many of which I will use for my shop vacuum system!
That's a great setup. The shop is looking great!
Thank you!
Congrats! It's awesome Michael!
That looks absolutely amazing
I like the brackets you made much more then the ghetto nylon strapping I used with my clearvue ducting
There's nothing more eternal than something temporary :)
Cool system. 👍
Very satisfying to watch...
I think things getting cleaned is also satisfying to watch :)
Great video and very helpful. That's the exact dust collector I'm planning to buy - great job.
Glad to hear it!
Great narrative on your installation. 👍🏻👍🏻
Bravo!....looks great!...love that floor collector
Dude, I would wish that have system here in Brazil. awesome. congratulation.
Michael Alm you lucky mo 😀👍👍👍🍻 Awesome workshop and video you have made!!
Great presentation and really informative...thanks for posting.
That came out really nice!
Outstanding video. Very informative. Thank you.
Very nice, Michael!
Excellent, especially the tape.
What a great job. Beautiful shop. Subscribed.
very nice install. rollin easy is hard to beat.
I’m so jealous but happy for you
Thanks for the video
Great video man.
Thanks for sharing your ideas with others.
I want this for my shop so badly. Looks amazing 👍 Hope it works out for you in this setup. Interested to hear how it works after a few weeks/months.
Thanks! Yeah, I’ll keep updating people in Instagram
It's cool seeing the finished product after watching the IG stories. Also, kudos on the video production. Very well done.
Thanks Mike!
Nice job!
Thanks Chris! You going to be out at Workbench Con this year?
Excellent job. Work great and look awesome!
This was so amazing and satisfying to watch
Your dust collection system is ideal bro. Crafted workshops recent dust collection setup is completely laughable. He spent money everywhere he could (took sponsorship) and had so many ceiling drops with expandable hose that it looked like a Slinky action zone. Yours is clean looking and it seems to work good.
so relaxing laying pipe!
Nice setup!
Just subscribed to your channel. Liked your new dust collection system. Hope to build one for my small shop someday.
Nice setup, awesome upgrade! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Thanks Fred! 👊
Awesome dust collection system, i made a smaller dust collector cart for my small workshop but i wish to install a system like yours one day. Great video i just subscribed !! :)
Thank you!
Diresta pencil in the background. I guess we all have them. Nice system very jealous
Nice Job! Got good ideas from you! Thank you.
if you place some small casters upside down on either side of the cut and pipe, then you can create a roller for the pipe to roll on as you cut the pipe on the saw. Makes easy work out of that .
That's great enjoy!
Hello my friend. One of the most important systems of the workshops is dust collection. Dust and shavings are also a big problem in my workshop. Improving the dust collection system will create a comfortable workspace for you. Thank you for the system and information. Congratulations. Good ideas. Thank you for sharing. Warm hug. Great greetings....
To elevate the static buildup on the PVC, Buy a roll of #18 stranded bare wire and tie one end onto a tennis ball start your dust collection up then feed the tennis ball into the farthest end of your system and feed the wire as the ball travels through the system. When it come out the end at your collector tie the wire off to ground. this will drain off the static and keep your shop safe from fire.
Magnificent, BRAVO CLAP CLAP CLAP!!! good work mate. Im building mine now
