Sorry. I had a long weekend. Stepping away sometimes is the best medicine. I created some gentle S's and used 10" insulated ducting (R8). It hovers at about 60 db. Quieter than my neighbor's dryer...

Thanks everyone for their replies. I'll upgrade the 8" duct to 10" and add some more gentle curves. I really need to get back to work and this thing has been a time sink.

Yes chris I looked at...

So I tried the quick and easy approach that Chris Parks recommended. Got 25ft of 8" R6 ducting. Immediately the screaming cyclone quieted to about 60db. My anemometer doesn't go above 5600 ft/s and...

So here are the pictures and some things to note:

I have a vent positioned on the bottom (seen in first picture) to provide the shed with cool air. The exhaust, which...

I was using a phone app. I realize it's imprecise but I wanted to provide some quantifiable data. However, qualitatively, if I'm by the exhaust, I have to yell to hear anything. I'm looking to...

For those of you venting outside and have the cyclone in an airtight shed how do you provide the motor with cool air/vent the hot air all the while maintaining adequate noise abatement?

I'll post pictures tomorrow. It's a 5hp clearvue cyclone. I have safe n sound 3" rock wool in between the studs. I have 6" inlet going to the cyclone through the side of the shed and an 8" exhaust...

Awesome guys thanks for the replies. This is driving me nuts. I'm on my way to the shop now so I will provide pictures shortly but I have two major concern that I'm not sure how to take care of:

Sorry I should provide pictures. I'll post them when I'm back at the shop.

But it's a 5hp, 16" impeller, clearvue cyclone

Hi All,

I feel I've read all I can find on the dust collection noise but I haven't been able to replicate some of the community's successes. On to my setup: I built a shed outside and lined the...

Just wanted to update everyone. After much adjustment and shimming with brass stock I was able to get the tables within about 0.001-0.002" which I believe is as good if not better than new jointers....

Thanks John. I'll let you know how it goes.

Yes I can see light. I also used feeler gauges. I think there's a picture above showing that the table is off.
Also I thought all responses were...

Yeah that makes sense.

But it looks like the table closest to the cutterhead is dead flat according to my straight edge. I only begin to see the 0.004 deviation in the outfeed table towards the...

John, I'm not referencing off the yellow portion. That picture where it's off .004 is to show you that the tables aren't flat across it's width. The straight edge is only sitting on the outfeed table...

Thanks for the replies. I took some pictures to help illustrate the problems and also help me to shim precisely.

First things first. I was able to bring the tables on either side to with...

Hi All,

This is my first post as any question I've ever have or had has already been discussed at length. So here it goes:

I bought a used Minimax FS35 j/p for 1k. It was in good condition or...
