I ordered on Friday 7/29
I also have a 2" pipe vacuum system. I have a clearvu mini cyclone over a 15 gal drum. It has worked fairly well until I vacuum up pieces too long to go thru the 90 bends. I have had a couple of...
The shop was a retirement gift to (and from) my wife and me. We started in 2003 with the building and had most of it done (walls and electical and earlier dust collection with abs pipe) by 2006. I...
The jointer is a grizzly 12" with spiral cutterhead.
I am not yet satisfied with the lathe collector. It misses a lot of chips and shouldn't. I am happy with the air filter. I leave it on for 4 hours when I leave the shop. I need to give many thanks to...
I put in 2" pvc to 4 locations in the shop and made my own dust ports. With a 20' hose I can reach anywhere in the shop. With the small clearvue cyclone on the 15gal cardboard container, I don't have...
My jointer and thickness planer are woring well with the dust collection system. I had to modify the dust cover for the 22/44 sander. It is also working well. 180680180681
The dust collection at the table saw works well. The whale (shark) guard is a big help. The miter saw collector works well for the fine dust, not so well with the larger chips. I am wiling to vacuum...
I wanted to group some machines around a central duct so i have my router table, 2 bandsaws (14' &18"), sander, and drill press grouped around it. It works well so far. Near the octoplenum is my shop...
I wanted to share some information about and photos of my shop. The entire structure is 30x60, including the "porch in front.One part you won't see is the 12' wide wall that divides off the storage...
I tried having the cyclone/ vacuum on a cart but it was hard to get around the shop so I bought some 2"pvc and ran pipe to 4 locations in the shop. I made my own blast gates so now all I have to do...
I have done just what you are planning. I am using 1/2 galvanized pipe, 12 in long. I drilled the holes at a 5 degree angle (upwards). They work very well so far. I would be a little concerned about...
I have six of the clearvue blast gates and a few I made myself. I actually like the shop made ones better. There are a few designs shown on SC. I used melamine and pvc pipe so it would be easy for...
I have been using my system for about 4 months. Mine took about 5 months to get going- the hardest part was doing the piping and other fittings. The actual cv install was probably 6 days work,...
As I understand ducting, you need top insure adequate cfm to move the dust thru the ducts. By necking down from 6" to 4", you seriously slow down air flow. When I need to use a 4" duct, I keep a 5"...
I have heard that clearvu has stopped selling the mini because they have been sued by Oneida. I went to the clearvu site to get info in the mini06 and they say they have stopped selling them because...
