My current thinking is that this is a much more convenient approach to automatic dust collection than trying to build something with automated power control and automated blast gates. - Jak na to + styl
I love how you clean your dust collector filter with another dust collector
its the big one that goes trough like a super big container remember ^^ but still funny ^^

I thought the same thing LOL !!!
Think that if he collected the dust from the filter with that same dust collector what he cleaned.
I love the fact that your shop is in constant evolution. Seems like a smaller dust collector for each machine makes more sense since it takes less space and is more convenient to use. Keep up the great content!
You should get rid of them, they're just sitting there collecting dust...
This is one of the funnier comments ever
Turn them into speaker enclosures
lol that's actually so funny
Owo 😂
Thats the entire point!!!
Just came back after I've built the same dust collector for my sanding machines with a small blower fan. It just works, quiet and efficient. I think this video and approach is just amazing. Thanks.
Thanks for promoting my filters, nothing gets past a Garrison.
You saw the chance and you took it.
Lol!!
I love the editing in your videos. So fast paced! Never a dull moment.
I like it even more when the trend on CZcams is to dilute the content to reach 10:01 ..
Simple, easy, practical with data to back the results. And as usual, cost effective. Channel should be named " Woodworking with Engineers ". Great video as always.
I like your approach to things better than all the other wood workers I watch.
Your dust collection videos are a great use of CZcams, sourcing your fan base for working on everybody's health. Thanks for the community effort!
Dear Matthias Wandel, You always manage to put a smile on my face, no matter how many times I review your good works, and educating videos. THANX!
I used to watch your channel and I lost my device to water damage. I stumbled onto this podcast and I’m am so glad I did.
I’ll get my subscription in and never wander off again. Promise!
You've always impressed me Matthias, I don't think I've seen anyone as dedicated to good dust collection as you are. It's pretty neat!
For some reason the fans and dust collectors you make are very satisfying to me.
Great idea. I used to have a long 150 foot garden hose. Now I have 3 40 foot hoses. Saves so much time dragging it around.
That is a really interesting approach to dust collection.
I'm impressed. Folding the filter was creative. I also like the use of the particle meter to measure results. I am now subscribed!
I've been driving myself mad with my dust problem, no collection yet, or time to woodwork but I've been thinking about it a lot. This set up(one at every tool), and then once in a while going thru all of them with a shop vac and cyclone is probably going to work out perfect for my spare time woodworking endeavours. Thank you!
Now to figure out the lathe dust...
Hi just want to say I enjoy more watching you doing wood than the tractor
I'm always amazed at the little nuanced design decisions Mattias see and solves to make a really nice piece of hardware.
Great idea. I did something similar in my old shop. Table saw on one, Miter Saw on another, and everything else used a modified bucket collector. It worked really great, and I avoided having ducting everywhere with blast gates to play with.
Being subscribed means that you get to see the video on the same day that it was posted and by the time you watch it it has 50,000 views. Wandel.. the Coolest woodworking nerd the planet has created thus far.
I like that you give an update after
The projects were put to use! Excellent job!
I must built one of them. You always are a big source of inspiration. Thank you!
you should put lexan covers on them so you can see when the filters are getting full
Wow, I was thinking of making one of these today then saw this comment. I have some extra lexan that's been sitting around forever. Doing this for sure now
I really like watching you make these mini dust collectors!
Love your DIY videos mate! I like to watch them while eating. It pleases me very much. Thanks!
this channel is my happy place
Wonderful use of shop tools as always Mathew, thanks for the inspiration ...
Your lunacy is so practical.
Really good work on that lid, I don't know why but I find that lid awesome, the way it fits perfect
Good work man! You're an inspiration for us guys who live in the city who don't have room for a workshop or a shed :)
I have made one of these dust collectors for my radial arm saw and it works awesome!
Splendid video! I really appreciate watching you build small things in a simple cost effective way! Inspires me every time to do it myself! You have a peculiar way to look at things that seems so simple yet effective! Talking of which I don't seem to have a dust collector! Gonna get right to it!
Just ran across your channel. Love the idea of decentralized dust collection. Much simpler and probably less power over time. Kepp broadcasting!!
thanks for posting these "experiment" videos as opposed to a simple "how to" -- it's much greater learning why certain things are done -- very cool!!
In a related story, the marketing team for Garrison's filters is said to still be celebrating with cocaine and strippers to this day.
I other news, twelve 3M engineers have been found dead in a dilapidated factory, having committed seppuku.
lawling pretty heartily.
Ironic, since they are shorting a fine powder up their nose.
What? Where? Strippers in dust?
Interesting indeed! The concept of a dedicated dust collector at the point of generation has always intrigued me. But never thought it would work well. Yours appears to do fine. Thanks!
those high dollar air filters cause my A.C motor to get hot .hard to pull air thru ...man you are great at making this stuff .and i copy every thing i can from you .i have emphysema had to retire need the clean air ..keep it up please my wood shop is going to look great and clean air ..all because of you
Your woodworking skills leave everybody else in the dust !
you are awesome Mathias. I really appreciate your methods of investigating stuff.
Just discovered your channel, very cool. I especially like the fast forwardy bits.
I love your precision
i love watching people work on projects when i am indoors relaxing
Great video! I think this especially makes sense for the tools like sanders that only create fine dust. No need for a huge dust collector when something like this will do the job just fine.
I've always wondered about the idea of makchining my own air blowers out of metal, but I've never thought of using wood, I never would have thought of it as a good material to make one out of until seeing your videos, you've made a couple of them and they seem to really work well.
Nicely done, tnx Mr. Wandel for sharing it!!!
Very clean design/implementation.
this dude never ceases to amaze me!
I like your idea and it seems to be a quieter solution as well.
I think several small collectors is a great idea. Your results validate the concept. I too dislike a larger system's infrastructure.
And people upgrade from little ones to big ones all the time. Just watch your local classifieds. I paid $30 for my 1HP and $50 for my 2HP, both Harbor Freight models (well regarded) in like new condition.
I agree, I like this idea too, great work Matthias
A disadvantage is that each collector has to be emptied individually, multiplying the work involved in an already set-up system.
I would much prefer to empty a small one as needed than a large one basically ever.
No John. It isn't. When you factor in all the tubing that has to be cleaned in a central system you have much less work with individual boxes. Plus , every time you add a bend in the collection tube you lose efficiency and the same is true with the longer the run. So, you are wrong about everything. CONGRATULATIONS
I think I saw this video years ago, but at the time, I lived in a place that had a 4-car garage. So space was less of an issue at the time. My current workshop is much smaller and it would be really nice to not have duct work all over and a dust collector as well. So I think I'll give this a go for my compound miter saw and see how it goes. Thanks Matthias!
That looks promising Matthias, thanks for sharing!
Very nice work. Very professionally done.
Also enjoy your FF editing when showing the labor (sawing, drilling, etc.). Makes for a very enjoyable watch. We can see how you did the work (laying out, transferring, etc.) without watching paint dry. (c;
Love the plans, thanks for doing the measurements in English :-)
The idea for one on each tool is really cool !!
And they're quieter, and more energy efficient also, I would imagine. Nice work!
Inimbrium that was my first reaction. Quieter!
I have the same planer. I just fit some 4" PVC pipe to the dust port and route it into a large garbage can. I bungee some geotextile (nonwoven filter fabric) over the top. It collects all the chips and dust no problem.
I had this same thought a few years ago and always wondered if it would work (never followed through on it though because I couldn't find a cheap enough blower). Thanks for proving that it does! I never thought to use blower motors from a water heater...brilliant!
Fantastic Video. Keep up the great work. Nick.
I think you're right Matthias. I was going to wire up blast gates and current sensing modules all over the shop. Now I think I'll just have a separate dust collector for each machine. Cheers
Now you got me thinking. I may build a small one for my scroll saw. Great idea.
How are you running the 2 with the tool switch. Rewired or a separate device?
I added a socket to the switch on the tool so I can plug it in there.
Really, really, really like these Matthias. Thank you.
Wow, I have been watching your videos for a while now. and I really liked this one, very innovative, a lot of cool efficient ideas into that dust collector. I like the background and the reason why for the project.
really nice work and nicely executed video dude .... many thanks and greetings from downunder
Very creative dude! Thanks for sharing
fantastic, thanks for taking the time to share you experience with us.
Another good one Matthias. Thanks for the inspiration!
Furnace and WH blowers are a great idea!
nice work Mathias... will give it some thought for my shop!
I like it. The redundancy is nice; if one machine's collector breaks down, you can borrow from one of the others in the shop.
Well done, an elegant answer.
I like those square screw that you're using, no risk of striping
very cool. i am building one for my belt sander right now. thanks for inspiration
I love how compact these are. Personally I think I'd like a huge dust collector with ductwork running to each machine in my shop someday, but think is certainly a good alternative.
Brilliant, Matthias. I think my big shop dust collector will soon become dedicated to just the cnc.
dude the stuff you make is dope asf keep it up
That does make a lot of sense. A vacuum for each tool. That way if the vacuum on one tool breaks at least the others work.
I like the way you speed up your videos , if I have to watch someone on standard time drive in all the screws, tighten all the bolts etc. , I go on to the next video .
I like this outside the box thinking.
I love your videos Mattias, I wish I had half of your skill and a quarter of your tools. With these filters that you have made I don't understand why you don't have the suction at the top. Having the vanes of the filters running horizontaly or even diagonally (A frame) would leave shelves for the dust to build up on. If the filter was mounted in the ceiling of the box and suction at the top, the dust has little to settle on on the filter. Position the inlet maybe 1/3 to 1/2 way up the filter box and have a hopper below. Once a buildup of dust reaces a critical point, the weight of it would drop clumps of dust back down into your hopper. In effect this would self clean the filter to a large degree, you would only have to empty your hopper and clean off the finer particles from time to time. I look forward to more of your videos and your thoughts.
That would be great for my shop. It's very small. Perfect! I can tell you like the creative process.
"I like the idea of a small dust collector so i added one to my kitchen"
Another great video Matt thanks.
Great idea. The hassle of a single large dust collection system has always prevented me from going that route. Putting one on each machine is great cause you can move the tool to accommodate any work without having to worry about moving the collection lines also.
Wow. At 3:48 I feel like a fool for not realizing the end of a caliper can be used to measure too. Thank you!
Jack yep works great as a depth guage for measuring mortices or bolt holes
Very interesting I'm in need of dust control in my shop and like the idea of individual units for each machine
Great idea. Thanks for the video. I'll have to try this.
Although this video is over 4 years young, I do believe this concept (each tool having it's own dc) is the future.
really good idea. As soon as you painted them green im hitting the like button :P
I like the idea, my only criticism is that now you have half a dozen dust collectors to empty instead of one. I think its a good system though because you do save so much money, time and effort not having to deal with the ducting.
A true craftsman! Well done!
Brilliant work i love this idea and many others of yours
Matt is the guy you want when designing aircraft systems..he sweats the details.
For machines like sanders, scroll saws,... this seems to be a good solution. Better and less complicated than a pipe system for all of them together.
Nice, love it...keep going, you are a good inventor
dust collectors are the superheroes of every workshop
my whole shop is set up like that nice job i love to reuse odd stuff
I like this idea and have been working on some similar ideas with all of the vacuum cleaners I find in the trash.
Please post a video if you get it to work.
Denny Bartley I have a video on my channel .where I started last winter but I haven't had a chance to work on it anymore. But it is something that needs to be done.
actually ive been making two bucket cyclones with old vacuum cleaner motors for quite a awhile i have three of them. One hooked up to table saw, one on planer and another i use for pulling mouse nests out of cars(dont ask it really stinks up a regular shop vac)
Royal/dirt devil vacuums have a flange on the motor that fits the cone shaped filter from same vacuum perfectly.
Jacilynn S are the cyclones homemade or store bought ?
Its a modified version of Mattias's own two bucket cyclone. I just mount the vacuum motor right on top with the filter sticking down in the middle.
Your videos are inspiring.
Awesome video...l laughed so hard at the sped up parts...like yourself I like tinkering in my shop to improve things...almost 90% percent of the time... I'll probably build the collectors too
