    I have an older discontinued Grizzly 18" open end drum sander (model G0458). The dust port is only a 2" port, and its a complicated process the dust has to go through to exit the machine. Needless to say, the dust collection on this machine sucks, but not the way it is intended... The newer...
  2. Dust Collection
    Looking for recommendations on dust collection. Small area (approx 12x15), mostly dremel work, some bench sanding. BUT, the material is bone. I will be wearing respirator but want to also eliminate as much dust as possible while working. Looking at most economical solution to start that could...

    Hi, The WEN Band Saw includes a 3-in-1 Dust Port to fit a variety of dust collection hose sizes (1-3/4, 2-3/4, 4 inches). I have a shop Vac but the 2 1/2 does not fit. I bought a 4 to 2 1/2 reduce and it fid not fit the dust port. Any idea what hose size I need?

    Hi! I am upgrading my shop from a 1 car garage to a dedicated shop that will be 25' x 25'. I recently acquired a Laguna P Flux 1 https://860860.app.netsuite.com/core/media/media.nl?id=2330902&c=860860&h=cd39892c7cb5220f58d9&_xt=.pdf (1.5hp, 18.8Amp, 1314CFM at 6" inlet per Laguna) and was hoping...

    Hi all I’m new to the forum and I hope you can help me out. I have a central DC system. I have just acquired a second motor, identical to the one I already have. The question is, how do I get the most out of the two motors. 1.Do I install the second motor somewhere on the pipeline in serial...

    I have tried to find information on the subject and no luck. Has anyone tried running a Dust deputy on the exhaust side of the blower. I modified my HF dust collector with a win filter, bigger impeller and a thien baffle That I installed in the old ring portion of the Hf collector. I made a...

    Just had an idea and wanted to run it by everyone. Has anyone ever tried using two dust collector filter bags for better filtration? I've just got a HF dust collector and I bought a powertec filter bag. The powertec is a 1 micro bag and the hf is a 5. My thought was to place the powertec on the...

  9. Dust Collection
    So my shop is in a pretty cramped basement with no ventilation really besides the stair case down to it. I always wear a respirator whenever I set foot in there, but I'm thinking of finally investing in a dust collector (my current system is a shop vac and a broom). I'm planning on using it for...

    Hi there, I want to upgrade my dust collection. I just use an old vacuüm cleaner right now. I would like to collect my dust in a bucket before it gets into my vacuüm cleaner. I have watched some video's on youtube about this topic. Some just hook up a couple of hoses to a bucket. A few make a...
  11. Dust Collection
    Hello all, I am new to woodturning and I have a question regarding dust collection and safety before I get started. I live in Southern California, where I have the ability to turn outside and store the lathe in my garage. With a portable lathe (on workbench casters), do I need to worry about...
  12. Dust Collection
    So recently I got an old Craftsman 113.19063. I haven't gotten a chance to use it because we got evacuated during all these dumb fires in Cali. Anyway, I am going to build an ~4x6 table/stand/cabinet/outfeed table that it sits on/in and that I can store tools etc in. I have a small single car...
  13. Dust Collection
    Dare I be so bold as to assert something such contrary to common belief? It appears that aluminum tape is only for security, peace-of-mind and bling. (all of which are important) But as far as air leakage is concerned, I feel my tests exceed practical reasoning. Tests include: Negative...

    Hey all...I’m a total newbie to this forum. I have been woodworking for decades, but until recently I’ve not had the woodworking tools I’ve always wanted including a dust collection system. I am ready to install as soon as we get out of this 100 degree weather...SO, to my question. I’ve noticed...
  16. Dust Collection
    So I dug through the old forum posts looking for a strategy that was successful in dust collection on a table saw and i saw this thread where Marvs setup seemed to be the way to go.. however the images aren't appearing so I'm asking anew. My situation: I have one of the current model Dewalt...

    Long time lurker, first time poster! Great forum here! OK - So I have fabricated my own cyclone-style collection system and have it hooked to a 5 (peak) HP Shop-Vac. I have some of my collection lines run to my equipment (Chop saw, table saw, and planner) and will eventully add a few lines for...

    I have been enjoying my rebuilt and repainted Powermatic model 65 table saw for the past well over a year. All of a sudden in the last couple of days the circuit breaker has begun tripping. As well, I have discovered a sound that wasn't there before. It has worsened and now, after coming to...

    I'm installing ducting for my small shop system and can see the light at the end of the tunnel! I will soon buy a remote for my 240 v., 2 hp Grizzly collector. I been told the "Long Ranger" is a good choice. Grizzly has one for less money that may be good as well. This isn't a production...
