- I’ve really wanted to improve my dust collection in my workshop, and we all know how much of a pain it is to attach and reattach hoses to tools. So I made my system as awesome as I could on a tight budget.

Really sorry about the spoken audio, for some reason my mic wasn’t working
Great video. Sorry about your poorly finger
Thanks for the helpful tips on an affordable extraction system. It’s refreshing to see a guy who’s not in a huge worshop with every shiny Festool machine known to man.
Will definitely subscribe. 🙂
This is brilliant!!! I can't wait to try this in my workshop!!! Thank you so much!
This is an amazing system! Extremely flexible and easy to set up with very little space. Excellent job! 😄
This is the best video I've found for me! My 'shop in progress' is probably quarter the size of yours, so its a real challenge, but I think many of your ideas will work in my shop. Great vid, most grateful! I subscribed straight away!
Very nice system! Great job installing it.
Thank you David!
Great video mate. I can’t wait to see what else you make.
Thank you very much
Brilliant Dean I put mine together yesterday and it works a treat I have never had my bandsaw running so dust free and now don't have to drag my vacuum around changing bags every few days
Awesome!! Fantastic to hear it 👍👍
enjoyed this video mate. great to meet you over here! looking forward to seeing this system in action, im in the process of sorting out my dust collection bit by bit. I've subbed up!
Thanks! You’ll definitely see it moving forward, I love it 😁
This system looks really tidy and doable for my small workshop. I'm gonna look into this, thanks for sharing!
My pleasure, thanks for watching!
Loved your video. I am a 68 year old Carpenter, (wanting to retire, but the bank wont let me!!) who would desperately love to have my own garage/workshop. So while I'm dreaming of my workshop, I'm gaining ideas for dust extraction.
Thank you, and best of luck!
Good morning.
I’ve just stumbled across your channel and am very glad I did . I do love to find fellow Englishmen recommending this I can actually get hold over from places like B&Q and screwfix. Your set up looks great and a lot more approachable for a complete novice with a regular garage (like me).
Now subscribed and poking through all your other vids . Have a good day
Thanks for another really interesting video Dean.
Thanks for watching Steve!
Hi Dean, 1, Glad to hear the workshop injuries are healing 2, Yes please with the table saw dust collection/extraction video, it's always good to watch these type of videos for insight and inspiration, watching your videos of late has got me thinking about making some layout changes to my own set up to improve the workspace and put in a dust collection system rather than plug in each tool individually, thank you for sharing and congratulations on your growing number of subscribers one of which I'm happy to be, I always look forward to your videos, take care.
Thank you Simon!
Cracking job Dean.
Thank you Karl
I love your system. Something this size looks to be perfect for small stationary tools as well as portable tools with collection ports. Well done!
Thank you!
@@WoodworkJourney You're welcome! From one content creator to another I can tell how much effort you put into this video. It really is well done and well presented 😁
Loving the simple bendy hose on the drill press! I will add this to my inspiration when I finally get round to doing similar ducting in my garage 😁
Thanks! Yeah I’m a big proponent of using what you have kicking about, so the phone holder hose guide was born 😂
@@WoodworkJourney I have a 100mm flexible toilet waste connector thing near my lathe for dust, so I'm right with you on the 'using what you have' principle 🤣
Love your setup thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Mate, totally brillant! great help off shopping in the morning (:
Great job Dean, love the push-fit + pond hose components - very flexible for future mods if required. I'll be nicking most of your ideas when I eventually empty out my garage and start putting a proper shop together.
Anyone want to buy some golf clubs? Or speaker cabs? Or photo enlargers? Or....never mind. Ebay will get a bashing soon!
Love to see what you come up with for your table saw & thicknesser.
Look after your finger mate.
All the best.
Thanks Lex! I’m super happy with how it is now, I hope you get to sort your shop out too 😁
Great content and love the links aswell. Thanks
Thank you very much
Great video and nice looking system. Good luck with the channel, you have one new subscriber!
Thank you very much 😊
You wouldn’t believe my cyclone it’s home made from a sheet of steel that was never going to be used it’s as big as the Axminster cyclone. It was murder to shape but works well it’s also on a large blue barrel. So that’s half my workspace used up! The pipe work is a four inch hose sometimes into a block of wood with a hoover hose jammed in it. Posh. Love your setup.
Thanks Steve!
Yours sounds like a beast!
Nicely done Dean & as I’ve mentioned before, very similar to my system, which I’m also extremely pleased with, although I find the pond hose is a bit stiff on my mitre saw connection, so might get something a bit more flexible in the future. I think a barrel & cyclone will be next at some point, but I need to find space for it 🥴.
Yeah the pond stuff is a bit, but I was concerned that it would implode so I’m pleased it doesn’t 😁
love it solved a lot of my probs was going to go with 4" pipe now 52mm (get for free)
Great system im doing something similar was surfing for a system on you tube with home made valve gates for 40 mm low and behold i found you . thanks for showing us your system . with planes going around you im betting your in wales lol ,anyway greetings from Wales myself cheers Ant . ive liked and subd you ,
Great video I to am trying to figure out a dust collector system for my woodworking with many different connectors that require different port sizes
I’ve used spare bits of the 40mm stuff in the video and used a heat gun to melt it enough to be bigger or smaller to fit on or in tools
Great video Dean, glad to see that the finger is improving. You can point 👉!
I was wondering how the system would work with a small diameter pipe and you reassure me that for fine dust it will be fine. Time to really sort out a system in my shop, getting fed up wheeling the hoover around.
The CTS quick click hose adapters are brilliant and are well worth the money. I have colour coded mine with a dab of enamel paint on the adapter and a corresponding dab on tge dust outlet on the tool. Saves loads of time working out which one fits what! They are about £26 for the set of four adapters and one hose attachment.
Well it’s still new but it’s doing an awesome job so far.
Yeah the CTS stuff isn’t crazy money, but I live on a pretty tight budget so it’s not happening for the moment
Hi Dean. I used the same waste pipe for my system. I changed the plastic container for a metal one as the relief valve didn't seem to work(it was leaking air slightly). My vacuum is a Henry, and works superbly. Keep those videos coming.
Will do Robert, thanks!
Hi, whose 2 small skull belongs too which is near dust extracter. I enjoy watching your video
LOL
Also, thank you!
I would love to have fighter jest circling the house! Awesome
It’s less fun than you’d think
@@WoodworkJourney Better than airliners that I get... :)
Question if you don’t mind. What hose end cuff did you use to go with the 40mm pond hose?
Nice solution, just stumbled upon your vid/channel while researching. I'm guessing you're in Lincs or north Norfolk if you have fighter jets? I'm from Cromer before moving out here and am quite used to the jets :)
👍
😊
idk what type of plastic that is, but plastic pipes can be dangerous if not grounded. For safety sake, just run a copper ground wire to ground, and wrap/screw the wire to the pipe.
Static can build up on plastic. I'm sure you've been shocked by a shop[-vac before. Same thing.
From the research I’ve done it seems that the danger is an urban myth, I completely understand why people think it could happen but as far as I can tell it’s never happened - I believe even Mythbusters tried it.
This looks good but I'd like to see the suction on it I thought you were going to clean up under the table saw👍 to show it working
You will see it working in many videos in the future. I don’t think I’ve lost any noticeable suction from the vacuum though.
@@WoodworkJourney that sounds great 👍 I've been using old vacuum cleaner hoses but never considered waste pipe and fittings before. The smooth internal bore will help no end. Thanks again.
Very neat system. Just one question. How did you earth the PVC pipe to prevent a fire from static build up?
It’s a good question. The simple answer is that I didn’t.
After doing some research it seemed like the chances of a static building up to that level is incredibly small
@@WoodworkJourney I think it would be nearly impossible to do. Because plastic and rubber o rings aren't conductors, you'd need an earth wire to every single component and bend etc and on the inside coming out to connect to earth.
Interesting vid indeed. :)
I am about to set up a workshop and have been pondering dust collection for a while and am currently planning to build something similar to your setup.
I have the same planer/thicknesser as you which uses the same large diameter collection port. Have you managed to find an adapter to fit it?
No I haven’t, but to be honest I haven’t looked yet. That’ll be part of the next stage along with the tablesaw
@@WoodworkJourney I will keep looking. If I find something I will let you know. :)
Great video just found u. Im guessing you dont run a thickness plainer am trying organise my dust extraction system its driving me nuts. My machines are 40mm fittings but the extractor is 100mm pipe trying get it to run properly is really starting do my head in. 🏴👍
I don’t use this system for my tablesaw, Thickness planer, or soon to come router table. For those it’s my HVLP chip extractor. A 40mm system HPLV system will not run 100mm pipe unfortunately.
A really can't figure out what am gonna do. I have a jet extractor problem a seem be having is trying get the fittings down in size. Do u have an email a could send u couple pictures see if you can shed any light
Those fighter jets sound like freedom to me...
Ok
Nice system, I've been watching and getting ideas, got a 1000w Henry I'm going to put to the same use. Do you find suction as good on your furthest bench flexi hose as back at the beginning etc? Not sure does suction loss occur over length or is it really noticeable. Thanks
For my system I don’t notice a significant suction loss thankfully
@@WoodworkJourney Good, I'm keen, thinking though I might do it in 50mm, bit pricier but less likely to block etc and a bit more flow rate. Enjoying your videos, thanks
I’d be surprised if the Henry could keep up the suction with 50mm to be honest but best of luck 👍
@@WoodworkJourney I know what you mean and I've been keeping that I'm mind but ..... There's a video on CZcams ( I think it's called "more suck from a shop vac" where ho tests airflow rates changing the hose diameter and finds best results with a 2 1/2" hose? A Henry is same principle as a shop vac as in low volume high pressure etc. It's an interesting watch if you can find it, if pos, watch it and let me know what you make of it. The parts aren't ordered yet....🤣
There's also one called " 2" pvc dust extraction system and workshop tidy up " by Greg virgoe which is worth a watch, he uses a Henry with good results. 👍
What size pipe did you use? I'm looking at doing a small system for my shop too.
I talk able it all in the video
He mentioned the size more than once through the video
Out of interest why did you use the pond hose over standard hoover/vacuum hose?
And how have you connected it to the FloPlast pipes?
Cost and diameter to be honest, I didn’t want to reduce the size more than I needed to
@@WoodworkJourney Fair play. And how did you connect them?
I used the connectors for the pipework and just kinda rammed in the hose
@@WoodworkJourney Ah ok, thank you
Good luck with the insurance payout when all that dust explodes. Alternatively find a way to ground the PVC.
Thanks for the comment
