Great concept Dan, does the lower exhaust hose "That Really Sucks LOL! get in the way when you are using the lath? When you slide the catcher along the lath does the motor cut out create an issue with dust? Have you done a follow up video using the Really Suckeeee System LOL!
Actually the lower hose does not interfere at all. moving the tray doesn't affect how well the unit extracts dust as most of the dust is actually extracted by the upper hose, the lower section takes care of most of the heavier chips. If I had to do it again I probably would have made the tray about 10 cm wider to better catch the flying chips, but I don't mind a little sweeping as long as the dust is controlled. I have plans to do a "follow up video " on many of the different things I built, just got to get around to it !!!!
Good point.... below is a link to the dust extraction system I use.... www.kingcanada.com/en/products/woodworking/dust-collectors-cyclone-dust-collectors/kc-3109ckdcf-3500-2-hp-1200-cfm-dust-collector-with-canister-filter
No I have not gone to the extent of grounding. There is some intermittent static charge build up depending on relative humidity that you can actually feel. However I do not believe there would ever be enough of a discharge within the piping to ever ignite the wood fines
Oh I have not done a follow-up video yet... I will add that to the ever-growing list. But I am pleased with how it is working. It does grab the larger chips that fall in the bin but there is still a fair amount of chips that miss the bin. It is still a way easier clean-up than before. I would estimate that 70% of the heavy chips get collected and 90% of the dust. I am no longer wary of lathe projects. Thanks for your comments 🙂 👍
Actually I forgot that I did do a bit of a follow up... in my "Plumb crazy" video ( ruclips.net/video/LNjH_9jEL8U/видео.html ) I carve myself a carvers mallet and you get to see how well the extraction actually works.
I appreciate your humility and humor. I need help around my large for sure. I’m trying to manipulate a big gulp (not the 7-11 one) with the alien arm and it’s just all in my way. How motivated would you be to make one of these for me? Please PM. :)
Thank you for the support, I would not be able to manufacture one of these for you at this time. We are in the middle of a major renos and time is at a premium right now. I will keep you in mind though as the seasons change and I head back indoors into the warmth of the shop
Great video - love the idea and narrative. Word of advice, using CA accerator on polycarbonate will crack crazing or cracks. You should let the CA cure naturally or use aquarium cement.
I'm currently setting up a small woodworking shop and have some dust extraction 'systems' that will be set up, but they will provide minimum extraction at best. I like the idea of using clear tubing. I would imagine that will provide a better idea as to when or where the system might plug up? I have also purchased an older Rockwell Beaver 3400 lathe. I have not used it yet, but from videos I've watched it would appear that a lathe makes quite the mess.
yes lathes do create such a mess, so much so I was reluctant to use mine much until I perfected a dust extraction system. One of the best minimalistic dust extraction systems that work well is a cyclone extractor, like a dust deputy inline ahead of a regular shop vac.
Many plastics are amenable to scraping for deburring and smoothing edges. You can make a real scraper, but often the tang on a file will do if it has crisp edges. So, you're using the file proper as a handle and the proper file handle as a tool. Sorry, but after all the "dust collector sucks" puns, you earned that last sentence, although I enjoyed hearing someone say "distal end" of a collector.
@@chippychippy8291 yep I actually sourced the kits from two places... Amazon and Home Depot. Check out my "shop tour" video for info on my King Canada dust extraction system. Thanks for your comments, always appreciated 😁
Great build and video except for when you add the music in. Those of us wearing hearing aids hate those parts. Subbed anyway, hoping you won't keep up the music.
Yes sir I have learned my lesson on the back ground music and am learning how to edit audio more appropriately. I think you might find my latest video on the creation of my wife's sit/ stand desk significantly more pleasing. Thanks for subbing, it is very appreciated
Sorry guys, I am just an old fella farting around on youtube and learning how to edit video's. I will take your comments to heart and try to improve in the future
New to your channel ~ amusing and informative. Well done!
Thank you sir, glad I could provide a bit of a giggle to your day
@@TherapyWoodWorks a giggle with thoughts behind is civilisation !
That's an almighty setup, i think I will go down this path with some modifications, thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks for your comment Neville, dust extraction for the lathe sure changed my opinion of this useful piece of equipment
Very nice, Dan. It does look professionally made! This is an area of my own shop that needs improvement...
Thanks Rod.... coming from a person of your experience I will definitely take that as a compliment 😁

THAT IS AWESOME SIR!!!!!!!
Well then.... thank you, thank you very much (words thought using my best Elvis impersonation)
it would be good to know exactly what you use for the extraction device?

how do you straddle the dust tube in the front? i would put it in the back of the lathe
Actually it does not interfere at all. Narrow enough profile to not even be noticeable. Also my lathe is too close to the wall to mount off the back
haha nothing gets my heart going like a "glue up". Nasty stuff haha
especially that cyanoacrylate stuff that instantly bonds human flesh
Great video, thank you. Is your dust extraction system grounded? Thanks, Sharon
No I have not gone to the extent of grounding. There is some intermittent static charge build up depending on relative humidity that you can actually feel. However I do not believe there would ever be enough of a discharge within the piping to ever ignite the wood fines
So Dan does it really suck during actual use? Interested in seeing how it picks up large chips. I can’t find your follow up video…..

Thank for the tips, I will keep that in mind on my next creation
Nice. Also nice to see you are using king international machines , great Canadian company
Yep they are readily available, priced well and as long as you stick to the "industrial" line they are good quality.

What dust extractor you are using
Hi luke... I am using a 2HP extractor from King Canada. I plan on adding a dust cyclone in front of it in the future
Good work, thanks for sharing. Hint: Lose the music.
Thanks for the tip, I have learned my lesson to tone down the music.
Danny, that is absolutely awesome! What kite did you get that had clear piping? And what are you using for you dust extraction? Stay safe.
I found the clear piping in your links. Oneida for the extractor?

Interesting video, but PLEASE drop the music! It contributes NOTHING! And it’s aggravating. Thanks
