I am in the dust collection industry, on the filter making side of things and I would love to see some pictures of what kind of collectors or piping or anything that resembles a collector. if anyone would be willing to share.

I recently upgraded my shop with an automated dust collection system that includes automated blast gates, automated switch the dust collector, and remote controls. At the same time I piped the shop with PVC thin wall pipe and added a floor sweep! Check it out. YouTube Link: Automated Dust...

Hello all, I'm posting this in a wood working forum because it seems that you guys have much more knowledge about dust collection than anyone else lol. We are a computer shop in Michigan. We have built a homemade "dust out" station for dusting out computers. It is powered by a Delta 50-760...

I am in the design phase of ductwork planning and have a question or two for the forum. General info: - The collector is the PennState Tempest 1535 w/ 7" inlet. The machine is rated at 1700 CFM through the collector. I will be using the 7" - 6" reducer that is supplied with the machine...

I use a Murphy-Rodgers MRSE-16-RAL dust collector at my planing mill. It is rated at 6200CFM, has a bag shaker, a rotating flapper evacuating from the hopper to the collection shed, and services one molder and several other smaller machines. The problem I'm having is that the hopper clogs during...

I have been reading all the confusing discussions on dust collection piping designs. I understand that having the larger 5 or 6" ports would be optimum but most of my tools are 4" and are not easily modified. My 18" drum sander being the main collection problem. I am purchasing a 3hp cyclone to...

Hello, I'm interested in the HF 2 HP dust collector. - Does the inside track membership give coupons for this? - I remember seeing coupons for ~$140 for this DC a few years back in some woodworker magazines. I was hoping the inside track might offer such a coupon. - A bit off topic...

My second-hand shop vac bit the dust, and I'm looking for a good way to control dust and chips from a table saw, router, and power sanding. I'm trying to decide between buying another shop vac or getting a proper (but small) dust collection system. If I'm making a single purchase, does anyone...

I am having so much trouble with my Delta AP400. Not collecting below 30 microns creates too much fine dust accumulations and I decided that it would be best to replace it. I am considering the Delta 50 -760 , Grizzly G1029, and the PSI DC200B. Wood Magazine rated these very highly. I was...

After a fun weekend with the lady friend and a project made with paduk, I noticed the 1 Micron filter bag on my Delta 50-760 DC has turned a slight redish color... figuring I've had the unit just over two years now it's probably time to clean the bag? I've no idea what I did with the Owners...

I need a 3 to 5 HP, 220 V, 1 ph dust collector and motor assembly without bags or cartridges. Anyone have a good source? I have access to Grizzley in Springfield, but they won't sell motor and blower without the whole DC system.
