If it helps anyone my local Lowes carries the 8" Diameter Snap Lock in 26GA @ $10.25 per 5ft length. The 7" and smaller are 30GA. Our HD's are all 30GA. In the past others had reported this as well....
Cecil are you sure you only have a 4" intake on your 1-1/2 HP DC's?? I know some of the old DC's might have done this but most had a Y connector with two 4" outlets you could remove. Lots of guys...
I'm very interested since I am planning a similar arrangement in my garage corner.
What happened to the thien-seperator-disc/6" intake-Barrel-section assembly in the pics where it is mounted to...
I think Phil Thiens premade sepertors will be the best deal in price and effectiveness, but it is tempting to find the right diameter kitchen pan, Wok, or maybe a pan used for panning gold and mount...
My Bosch VAC001 hose has a rotating split collar over a rectanguler aperture to adjust the suction to prevent pad sticking. http://www.amazon.com/Bosch-VAC001-19mm-15-Foot-Friction/dp/B00005AFHY and...
Ole I am sure many of us are envious. Nice Job.
Did you use a baffle system to exhaust air out the top or just left top open and put rockwool up against the rafters/etc.???
That shop building would be my dream shop. You are very fortunate and have done some great shop fixtures and DC work.
you bring up a good point which is the HF is an exagerated spec unit with a motor out put more like a 1.5 hp and impeller size more comparable to other 1HP-1.5HP DC's on the market. It is an OK deal...
That's the point of hardware cloth or square mesh/screen. You can buy it in as fine an opening size as makes sense for you. I jsut sweep the pile by he sweep and the big chunks that don't go through...
Find a 90 degree HVAC vent boot with the appropriae diameter pipe hookup for your drop. Put "hardware cloth" over the front of it and it should be durable and = less than $20
Neil bought an exellent hose.
A poor mans version can be had from HF in this kit: http://www.harborfreight.com/dust-collector-accessory-kit-93601.html
Compared to the typical DC flex hose, the...
Large Delta stel box unit, single "High" setting model, hanging from chains to main joist directly below Master Bedroom (at foot of our bed above it).
No vibration, can barely hear it even though...
These two collectors are night and day. Buy it! (unless there is a Jet 3 HP for a similar price:-)
I originally purchased a HF 2HP but after upgrading the bags, and trying to optimize the dust...
If you didn't buy one already,
I like that you did the right analysis. The Grizzly with 12.5" impeller, and a minor improvement of a smooth walled blower/bag ring duct (instead of corrugated hose)...
Read this http://www.cgallery.com/jpthien/cy.htm and the Forum link is on the bottom. There are some older posts that have more examples integrated into the 2 bag DC system.
You seem to have a budget constraint you didn't quite mention. To minimize allergic reactions you need a powerful DC to best collect the finer sawdust from the major offenders (TS,MiterSaw, Sanders,...
The short answer is, a 12" impeller machine (often have a 2HP motor) works pretty well for the average to small size shop so most people are happy with one unless they try to collect fine dust in the...
The Jet 12" discs sander and sibling benchtop Jet Orbital spindle sander are one of the better designed and executed offerings in the Jet line. If you want a tilting table disc sander that isn't...
Compressor
Dust Collector if you can still get to it to empty the bags
Less-used-tools-corral on mobile bases
Folded up miter saw stands like Rigid MSUV Etc.
The cabinet Bill showed has a great DC setup with the "V". The best way to do the contractors saw DC without getting into some complex compound angles for minor gains(which you could add to it if you...
I also found the NOS one for Left tilt saws here http://www.weberwoodworking.com/specialspage.htm for a little more. Not so bad if you factor in it includes Free shipping of such a large box.
It would sure be nice if you could build the low version and then take your time to build the two level MFT to be clamped temporarily to the low height assembly table when needed. I just don't know...
Or WD40 and scothbrite pads. I prefer it to the steel wool which if any is left behind will cause rust on your top. Your call.
Be careful on the $250 rebate. That is only applicable on X5 Unisaw models which cost over $2100 at WWS!
Steel City had right tilts with rebates going for far cheaper on Ebay but I think you need...
