    Mixed results on dust collection.

    As I got a couple projects done and out, it was time to address more shop issues. Dust collection first. As I reported, I made great progress on the BS by switching to a vac-based dust collection and a foam "box" under the throat plate. All I need to do is get a second fixed in place vac and...

    Free Dust Right Bag (GONE)

    I was cleaning out my shop and found this DustRight bag. It worked well on the Dewalt lunchbox planer when I didn't have a DC. Now it is just collecting dust on the floor, though not as designed. Free to a good home. I'm in Davidson, a little north of Charlotte.

    Dust Collector recommendation

    I know I know another DC post. I'm a single user/single tool use shop. 21'x21'. Currently I'm using a Harbor Freight with a Wynn filter. Things were great until I added a drum sander to the mix and now the filter clogs super fast. Taking it off often to clean is a pain because of the clips. I...

    Dust Collection Procrastination

    OMG!! At long last, my vintage General (Canadian-made) 350 cabinet saw has effective dust collection. While the machine was in pieces for new arbor bearings and some other maintenance, I decided to finally address the machine’s abysmal original dust collection. With the foresight of an...

    Dust Collection question

    Hello folks, Quick question: I just moved my cyclone dust collector to a space below the shop to help eliminate the awful noise. Unfortunately, the space is about 6 inches too short for me to fit a large metal can to collect the chips. So, I had to use a much smaller 25” tall can. My question...

    Dust collection in a small shop

    I’ve been in the market for a cyclone dust collector for a long time. I’ve done a few small projects for my home and I’m looking to do more projects now that I have a few more woodworking tools.

    Suggestions to improve my ductwork layout?

    I've posted this on the Clear Vue Cyclone Forum and know we have some members who visit there, but I thought I'd post here because of all the good discussions from members here. I've received my CV1800 (with 16 inch impeller) and am now designing the ductwork layout. I'd appreciate any...

    Any ideas on a better ways to attach Dust Collector Bag?

    I've had a Jet DC-650 dust collector for many years, that I'm tired of the way the dust bag is attached to the collector. I'm still using the standard metal bands that feed through the cloth bag belt loops. I hate that always slips off when I'm engaging the tightening mechanism, and that...
