Hi
I just installed a dust collection system for my shop. I had only one requirement - no particles all over the place when using each machine at the end of a cutting session no matter how long. I do not want to be vacuuming up the place just to use a bench.
This is the third system I have installed (due to moving) since my first one in the mid 70’s. My systems for over 25 years up to this one were all the 4” Sewer type PVC. All worked well but never as well as I would have liked. Mainly the unit in my systems was from the 1978 era from a Grainger catalog. It had 1 1/2 HP motor and 10” impeller all of which sat on 55 gal drum. It had sort of a separator and a small filter bag.
I choose not to automate anything other than the wireless remote for the DC. I had collected all the “stuff” for automating the on/off DC, as well as pneumatic gates ala Alan of Washington, but in the end decided to stay with a basically manual system. I looked over lots of sites, this one especially, for ideas and I freely plagiarized as many as I felt fit my system. I thank all of you for providing me information.
Just a slight divergence here to explain that I am a returning woodworker having spent the last 40 years primarily building models of locomotives, gas engines, etc. Wood working was a primary hobby in the late 60’s and early 70’s but secondary after that. I want to get back into more wood working so the expanded DC system. When I build a model I document it. Lately, with build threads, I use Microsoft Publisher to first type out each installment of thread along with the pictures. That allows me to create a PDF of the entire thread including pictures when it is done.
I installed an Oneida Pro2000 5hp unit with all metal duct work. Five tools were connected permanently to the system - 10” Unisaw, 14” Rockwell Band saw, 6” Powermatic Jointer, 12” Powermatic Planer, (all from the 1970’s) and a 10” Makita sliding miter saw (from 2002). There are three auxiliary ports that can connect to what ever I want ie Drill Press, Shaper, Router Table, sander etc. The Unisaw, Jointer, and Planer are all direct metal connections. The band saw and Shark Guard on the Unisaw used flex tube, and by its nature the Miter saw a “container” so to speak.
This site has lots of technical knowledge on the topic but I only saw a few of was a start to finish on a project. I documented this installation with a 3D shop model, layout drawings of the duct work, and about 34 pages of text and pictures of me putting it together. Included are methods used to attach the duct system to each tool. Attached are a few pictures.
The complete documentation of the installation will be uploaded to the Tutorials Section. This is the first time I am trying uploading the “thread” rather than having a lengthy thread.
The system has only been used in the last several weeks for some minor projects and I am really pleased with the outcome so far, see my Initial System Testing results in the write-up. As I use the system I will update the description with results.
Hope it will contribute to the knowledge of DC systems both on things to do and not to do.
Comments , questions , or clarifications on the installation??
