The Hitachi NT50AE2 has worked well for me. Very reasonable price. Bought it after reading all the positive reviews on Amazon (640 reviews averaging 4.5 stars). Lowes also stocks it (along with...

Nice job. Thanks for posting. I too would like to see a picture of how you cap the outside exhaust - up, down, weather protection, etc. Also, when running the drum sander, how much dust gets past...

Furnace blower motors can be used to make a great air filter - which is different than a dust collector. There are lots of posts and plans here on SMC about making a air filter from a recycled...

Thanks James.

Nice job and good pics - thanks for sharing. It appears that the trash can and fines bucket are sitting on the floor. If so, so they drag on the floor when the stand is moved? Also, is the blower...

Inspiring and enlightening - thanks. I wonder if he still has all his fingers and toes.

Mark, how loud was the noise outside near your vent cap? Do you need to add the muffler? I'm planning the same setup with a Grizzly 3 HP cyclone - it also has a 8" discharge pipe. Thanks

Can you explain the "speedy starter ring" photo? Are you referring to the black fitting that connects your cyclone intake to the PVC? I searched Lowes and the internet for that term and came up...

I found the overhead plans by Gordon Sampson here: http://www.woodcentral.com/bparticles/blade_guard.pdf. Originally off Badger Pond forum, archived and made available on WoodCentral.

Thanks Thomas and Shawn. This is an old motor with an unreadable manufacturer/model label, and unknown history. Based on the mounting brackets and the presence of rubber feet on the brackets, it...

I want to build a shop air cleaner similar to those many Creekers have built. Basically it will be a ceiling-mounted plywood box with a coarse and fine filter on intake end of the box with a...

Thanks Rick and Jerome. The guy I bought my 441 from did not have it bolted down nor did he have vibration isolators under it. Rick, it's good to know that your similar setup is working well. ...

Thanks for the responses Jim and Rick. Jim, after all that research are there particular types of feet, rubber pad, and hard rubber you'd recommend? I plan to bolt the DC down after I get all my...

I'm setting up a 3 HP cyclone dust collector mounted in Grizzly's metal stand. Weight of stand and cyclone is over 400# and the stand footprint is about 38 x 38". Should I plan to put vibration...

Thanks Cody. Chuck, I found a picture of your 6" dust port on this forum, but would like to see your motor cover and overarm dust collection set up if you find those pictures.

Thanks Bradley and Chuck. Bradley my cfm will determined by my Grizzly 3 HP cyclone and duct. I am running 8 to 7" mains and 7" drops branching off to the tool ports. All my large power tools are...

Thanks to all who have responded. Kevin, I can't offer any "proven" dust collection enhancements because I haven't hooked my dust collector up to the saw yet. But, based on advice here on the...

The 12 x 24 x 12 should fit the jet - only $18 for MERV 14.

Thanks Bradley - nice work. Did you use weatherstripping or something similar to seal the box to the cabinet. Do you think you the motor is getting enough air to stay cool?

Greetings,

I am hooking up a dust collector to a PM 66 (late 1980's model). The saw has no motor cover, among other DC challenges, and I need to add one. The plastic cover the manufacturer sells...

Alan, those are very helpful posts. Thanks to you and John for making it possible and to all whose replies augmented the test. Real data - love it. You have packed a lot of shop into that space.

Per Art's request, here's a link to Janis Stipins' post about his experience with Bill Pentz's design for mounting an inline duct fan on a wynn nano filter:

Woodworkers Supply sells the two of the Jet Air Filtration Systems and their product information says one of them (not clear which model) was named "Best Value" and "Best Overall" in Fine...

Thanks for the feedback so far. Rick I am concerned more about "all the time." Winters aren't extreme here in the NC mountains, but it was 13 deg F here this morning. I know that a 2" electrical...

Thanks to Ole for the Oneida publication and to Ken for helping with our PMing challenges.
