Shop built - Dust collection (shop vac) & blast gates
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 апр 2016
- Now that the upper part of my shop is being used a lot more, it was time to add some dust collection. I’m just using a shop vac setup here with central vacuum plumbing to supply all the tools. I also made some simple 2” blast gates which seem to work really well.
thanks for watching

Really nice idea , great touch to be able to clean round your tools👍
Dust collection is the one thing Ive always struggled with in my shop. I really like your home made shop vac dust collection! great work!
Nice job! When I finally have all my tools and and equipment in their final location, I will try something similar. I keep moving pieces around my shop to make the flow most efficient.
Thanks for sharing your great idea, I now have fuel for thought!
I use the size 1 and 1/0 Mustad hooks to freeline for snook ruclips.net/user/postUgkxzXmlErSqVAEGWFEKO530BvTqFDw53QW3 and they have been fantastic. The points are super sharp, and the hook is small enough to blend with my baitfish, yet large enough to land fish 30" or more. I also use these hooks when I'm pier or surf fishing with my kids. They tend to catch tons of smaller snapper, whiting, and catfish, and we get far fewer gut hooks with these Mustad in-lines, which means more of them survive after release. I was actually using these hooks when I caught my friend too, but I think that had more to do with the bait I was using ;-)
Looks like what I need in my little shop, especially since I use a shop-vac & recently purchased a DustStopper from Home Depot & need to get it setup for using small hoses like you used. Thank you for this post! You Blast Gates look to be SUPER EASY to make & that's a HUGE plus!!!! 👏👏👍
I just bought a bunch of expensive shop accessories that after watching your video I'll be returning. great idea simple yet brilliant I'll be starting that project next weekend thanks for the vid.
This is basically exactly what i want to do in my shop. Thanks for the video.
I like it. Neat, clean, unobtrusive and it works well for your shop.
Great job. I have an extra shop vac and now you have provide a project. Thanks again & great video
Very cool setup. Thanks for taking the time to share this.
Are you kidding?! No question this was rad AF!!! Thank you for sharing, gave me some fabulous ideas and your shop looks so professional with the clean set up of your mitre station and of course the dust collection
Thanks!
Cool idea, I would not have thought that a shopvac would work like that.
Real good info
That's awesome! You've given me some ideas for my shop thanks for posting
I recently rebuilt my dust collection system from a mobile cart that I brought to the tool, to a stationary system with piping to each tool. I based most of it along with the blast gates with info from your video! Thank you sir!
+Jason Barre nice! Glad to hear the video helped;)
I love this. I've looked into the subject a few times, but everything was either sewer pipe, Sch40 PVC, or flex hose. Cost is the usual deterrent for each of these, plus fittings. I'm glad to hear there's another option, one I've not thought of before. Thanks!
this looks great! moving into a new garage soon and I'll definitley look at this for tips and ideas again!
Awesome idea. Using for sure. Thank you.
Great organization. Love this setup.
So awesome! Love it man, I'm definitely thinking more about how I can implement something like this!
Very cool, I bet you will be really happy you installed that. I was using my miter saw yesterday and I keep telling myself I am going to copy your mitersaw DC port you rigged up.
+April Wilkerson thanks, the miter saw dust port helps a lot:)
Great idea and execution, Ryan.
Mice setup, Ryan! Well thought out, too, with the extra hose here and there for additional "overspray" cleanup. :-)
Nice setup. Thanks for sharing the ideas.
Really like the hvac idea, thanks for the video.
Very nice, I like the idea of having a small hose to clean up after
Love those blast gates, great work!
Awesome project and video Ryan.
Looks cool and certainly some ideas for when I get onto mine.
Well made.
Love that you keep it simple. Nice work.
Regards.
+Thias Russell thank you:)
Nice work! I made a central vacuum system using 3" PVC drain pipe. Instead of blast gates I used large 3" PVC ball valves I got from Amazon. They are a little stiff, but mounted to the wall they are no problem. I really like your blast gates. Kudos!
I think the idea of the ball valves is great. I´m designing my dust collection system and I´ll definitely will use your idea. Thanks
Fantastic project. Thanks!
Great setup Ryan !
Great video, great ideas.
Fabulous solution. thanks for the video!!!!
Great set up, very clean especially for the price.
Nice setup. Wish I could have an upper level to my shop. So jealous!
looking at the likes makes me wonder why anyone would take the time to thumbs down such an endeavor! Hats off to you my man, great job!
than k you! just what I was looking for, beautifully presented
That was excellent dude!!
very nice, Ryan, it's rare to see a DC system that is cheap and quick to install with a shopvac and small pipes, when most YT woodworkers go for the full size systems.
Thanks for the inspiration !
Keep on trucking ! (from France)
+MakeFix for sure, it's really not necessary for your smaller tools or even a smaller work shop, it is really surprising how much dust you can collect with a shop vac.
.........be hard to go back after enjoying that for a few weeks........very nice upgrade..
FINALLY!!!!! a way to make this without 4" PIPE!!!!!!! I'm a weekend/hobbyist wood worker with serious dust issues!!! but I don't want to spent hundreds of dollars on a collection system. everyone I asked about using smaller pipe thought I was acting stupid!! HA! I'm not alone!!!
+rusty Shackleferd (mirrored eyes) 2" pipe works fine on a high pressure, low volume system like a shop vac. Not so good for a standard dust collector.
+Ryan Langan Also, look into 4" sewer pipe. I picked up 10' lengths for about $9 a piece from a local sewer supply.
Cool man, I plan on doing dust collection this summer. I already purchased a few things.
Cool blast gates!
I like the way you made your blast gates. Home Depot sells a remote control for outdoor lights, I use this to turn my dust collection on and off. Comes with a wireless remote, about $15.00 dollars. Thanks for sharing.
+Marc Eaton I think I'll pick one up:)
+Marc Eaton I use one of those too. Works great.
I purchased one about 3 months ago to turn my dust collection on. Works perfect!
I like it. Great solutions. It was cool how you used that short piece of hose to just suck up some dust that escaped, just by holding it to the suction. It must still have plenty of suction then for that to work.
+Bruce A. Ulrich oh yeah, I was surprised that even at the router table there seems to be very little pressure drop. Works great:)
Nice and simple great idea
turned out nice good job
Dust collection is one of the main projects in my shop. I think i will do the dust gates same as you!
Awesome Video!
so awesome
Great idea. Thank you.
Nicely done
can't wait to do this!!!!
Very good !
Wow brilliant...
Most shop vacs are high pressure drop and low flow compared to the big chip extractors which are low pressure drop high flow. This means the shop vac can easily overcome the pressure drop caused by the relatively narrow pipe and maintain a good air velocity to keep the dust moving. You need big diameter pipes, as previously discussed, if you are moving big chips and shavings from the big machines and you need the bigger diameter to prevent the pressure drop strangling the flow. Hope that makes sense.
Great video. Thanks.
+Gary Knight thanks for helping clear that up.
My pleasure
Gary Knight I
Gary, it's possible to use a 1400 w, or almost 2 hp, shop vac to create a small size dust collection system? This shop vac can produce 265 mbar of vacuum and its hose is about 2 inches wide in diameter. My worries are about which diameter of piping I can use and if can be long enough to cover the shop, with some collection points.
Nice work!
Clean setup. Thank
cool build, thanks
Great video, quick and informative. Your last elbow on the left of your router table is installed backwards though. The elbow should sweep towards the vacuum, not away. Just like the ones on your saw and OSS sander.
wow exactly the system im goin to build! thanks
thank you
I would change your Y to a T instead. Also some of your T's are facing the wrong direction which would prevent some of those small pieces to get clogged up. I would also relocate the Shop Vac more to the center to help with pulling power. Long runs will create less pull on air and dust.
All of that on one shop vac? Nice!
Nice job!
great job!
If you used a low-voltage relay system like what triggers a furnace or a central vac, and made the blast gates electrically conductive when open, it saves having to open the gate then flip a switch or flipping off the switch followed by closing the gate.
NIce! I like the hose coming from the ceiling in the center of the x-carve. I always thought that was the best solution, but not always possible. Cool result! it seems you don't need a 3" diameter pipe to get a decent dust collection! my shop is too small for big pipes but maybe with this size it could fit. Although maybe it does not make sense because everything is less than 2meters away and I keep the vaccum cleaner in the center. Well! it seems I am thinking here instead of commenting :P good job man! Thanks for the ideas!
+Cactus! workshop I kinda had the same setup but it was always a hassle to change tools. I'm actually really happy with this setup, it works surprisingly well. If you already have some hose the pipe is really cheap.
Thanks for watching
Ryan
This was a great video! Thanx
+RaptorSCrew thank you:)
nice stuff!
Shop vac blast gates are available online and fit perfectly with central vac pipes. It's a cool project to make your own though...
nice job
well done
Daaamn you been busy. This is like the 3rd video in about a week i think. Nice. :)
+balisticsquirel it has been busy:)
Simple as mate. Nice. The gates are great and hats off for making them but they’re less than £5, so I’ll be buying them. Nice work though. BZ!
brilliant
Nice work Ryan, please consider earthing your ductwork for static.
Nice!
Great stuff. Got your stickers. Thanks!
+RetroWeld nice!
Central DC systems are da best!
+Tyler G I'm pretty pumped about it:)
Well that sucked really well. Awesome Job.
Great!
Cool idea, may have to borrow your idea 👍
You might want to run a bare copper grounding wire thru the length of the pipe and ground it. Static electricity can buildup and ignite a dust cloud.
18th Comment here! Nice Job! Really like the those blast gates.
Very nicely done! Especially like your extra hose at each tool AND the DIY blast gates. I think I mentioned before how you can really soundproof the vac cabinet by putting some carpet pad on the inside walls.
+MRrwmac I had planned on doing that in this video but I ran short on time:)
short and to the point, noice
shop tour!!!!
Cool
Amigo ficou show!
Great video. Weirdly, in my part of the world all the shop Vacs come with 35 mm I.D. hoses, which is about 1-1/2 inch, same as most household vacuum cleaners use, so I'm not sure if any of these will do the job as well as the ones you have available.
Also I see that the end of your flex hoses has a smooth surface like a vacuum hose, are those special hose?
Run a ground wire on your PVC pipe. Wood dust whizzing through the tube will create static electricity, and can ignite the dust. It does happen, even in large scale furniture shops.
+TheBikerScout ok 2 questions: 1. Fire needs fuel = dust, air = vacuum, but where does it get the ignition source, i.e heat? and 2. what ideal mixture of fuel and air does the sawdust need to be in to create the dust explosion?
+Joe Foley the ignition source is almost always a contact switch from a machine's on/off panel. Or the blower motor assembly. This is usually what the fire inspectors find.
Don't know the needed air to dust mix. I've just always played it safe with a couple of shop air filters, and just a run of speaker wire around my vacuum line air hoses to a grounding point. I attach the speaker wire with a pointy screw that pokes into the dust air stream, and make sure some bare wire wraps around the head on the outside.
+TheBikerScout I'm almost finished building my shop/shed. So will be doing more research before I building my dust system. Friction heat etc should I think build up at corners or near machines. But switches are far from dust hosing I'm not sure if that's it. If one was to use metal 90 degree bends etc and Earth them. It could do the same job.
is the speaker wire left coated or bare?
👍
Where did you get the central Vac pipe and the flex hoses?
Hi Ryan, did you buy those small sections of Shop Vac hose at Home Depot too? I couldn't find them at my local HD store. Thanks!
Hardware or big box stores don't carry that stuff, but Electrical Supply houses do.
Nicely done. I always see a 3 or 4 inch hose and wasn't sure if a shop vac would work.
+Joshua Pittendrigh Bigger lines like 4 or 5" are only necessary for tools Like jointers, planner or table saws because of the high volume as will as large size of the dust. Shop vacs have high pressure and work really well for dust collection for smaller tools like sanders or routers. The down side is the small filter that can plug on you, that's why I use a separator before the shop vac.
Thanks for watching
Ryan
Did you do a video on making the dust separator for this?
nice video and idea! Thanks for sharing!
What´s the model and brand of your vacuum?
