This is one of the first dust collection build videos that don't have me scratching my head at the decision making. Great video, nicely documented steps. I'm going to price these parts and watch this while I build it. Thanks for your efforts.
I've watched a lot of these kinds of 2-stage filter setup videos, and I liked yours best. Thank you for putting this together. I'm getting ready to copy your build almost exactly. Only thing I'm doing differently is using a clear bucket under the filter so I can see if there's anything dropping into the bucket. Probably not needed, but it'll keep me from constantly checking it. lol
My thoughts exactly! I too, am not in the budget to spend 1-2 G’s on a DC, and also have seen for years that at least the heart of the HF dc was a great value. I saved this video so that in the future, when i build this EXACT system, I can pull it back up lol
Seen close to a hundred of these types of videos to research how to set up dust collection in my new shop. Your setup and video instruction are the best. I plan to use your method this summer. Thanks!
it is a slick looking system what did you use for that reducer from 5" blower inlet to 6" cyclone exit. and have you heard if a 31 gal galvanized trash can will not collapse or not?
I’ve just completed a setup like this with a few small adjustments since I wasn’t installing in a corner. Thank you for this video and awesome improvement to the harbor freight dust collector!
Easily the best video I’ve seen on this subject - the engineering is well thought out and preserves the maximum suction/airflow possible - really great job on this- install looks super clean
This is great, I did a ton of research and this setup seemed like the optimal combo, now you made it much easier to visualize, design and mount up. Thank you!
@@GageDrums I didn’t but I think there’s a 20% off sale at harbor freight now. At the time the cost and time investment wasn’t of value after you add in the Wynn filter and Oneida cost, plus duct work around my shop. I got a used Oneida mini gorilla on a stand for around $900 instead
Get after it bud! Nice video! I received a HF dust collector for father's day and due to other obligations it's been sitting in the corner while I do my setup/mod research after the kids get to bed. Your video on this topic is up there with or better than stumpy nubs' video on the topic, which is high praise. Continue to do work, buddy! 🇺🇲🤙
I brought home my new (used) 2 stage Jet with the canister filter and I sat for a day and a half wondering how I’m going to set my system up. I kid you not I was drawing out a wall mounted system almost identical to this and I was going to make some room in my 1 car shop tomorrow. You’re the first person I’ve come across that did it this way. I thought I was crazy but apparently it works great lol. Cheers
This is a great set-up and it will be nice when it's time to empty the sawdust. Your lungs will appreciate the upgrades you've made. Thanks for showing us your design and I will be using ideas from watching this video.
Hola! 🖐Wow! You really stepped up that system, it looks like you are going to give it a run for it's money. How has it performed now that you have had it in use for a while? Have you made any changes or modifications? Thanks for the video and all the info. Take care and have a good one, Adios!👊
I bought the same dust collector and plan on upgrading it in a similar way. I'm starting to think we're not all that smart though. The cyclone and upgraded filter is around $500 in upgrades alone. $800 would probably buy a pretty decent name brand dust collector...lol
Yes, you could buy something decent for that price (1.5HP singe stage with a MERV 15 filter). That will cover any tool that uses up to a single 4" dust port no problem. Primary downside to the single stage is needing to clean out the filter every time you generate a bag of sawdust and its really messy. To get into a 2HP 2 stage collector with the filter like he built in this video your $1500-$2000, so you are cutting costs about in half, plus you get to say you built it yourself
A small safety item lower the blade guard/guide on your bandsaw for safety and better cuts. Using a translucent 55 gallon barrels let you see how much dust you have collected.
Did you leave the intake 5"? I got my wen. But I saw a video where a guy was testing his flow after each change and when his friend sent him a wooden cover with a 6" plastic flange on it. It didn't increase his CFM.
I really like your common sense easy to watch videos. You go straight to the heart of the subject your videos are about without all the extraneous crap on others. A BIG BZ to you sir (bravo Zulu, it's a Navy thing) I just finished my 24x50 metal garage am insulating now following your other videos and this dust collector is definitely going in it next. Thanks for all the links I'm using them to order so materials will be ready when insulation is complete. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge.
Hi, great video. I'm in the process of doing this now. I went with a replacement for the Radeks Workshop filter instead of the Wynn. I hope that wasn't a mistake. Haven't decided on the Super Dust Deputy or building a Thien Sepatator. Thanks!
Great upgrade and great video and detail. I have been doing the same thing. I have everything except for the new large filter. Bloody things are pricey. Cheers
Nice job! That's almost identical to the dust collector I made! I used a trash can instead of a barrel and my Y connector on dust deputy, one port goes outside through the wall and the other side is for inside. It works great
Just an observation (having trod this path myself). Everyone starts with a shop vac. Then they enhance the shop vac, usually with a separator (the slanted thing). Then they get an improved outlet filter. Then they get a small, roll-around dust collector. Then they get an improved outlet filter for the DC. If you are currently using a shop vac (enhanced or not), but not satisfied, I suggest you jump straight to the DC, and then call American Fabric Filter (or equal) to get a "1-micron rated outlet bag". You rob yourself of all the hours of fun playing with the hoses, but you get where you're going that much faster. Shop vacs do a decent job of keeping the floor from getting too deep, but they don't really do the job of a DC. [A shop vac has a higher pressure-to-flow ratio than most DC designs; a dust system benefits from a high flow at moderate pressure. A good outlet bag design {eg, make it bigger} won't penalize the fan with excess pressure loss.]
Watched many videos on this and related topics, and I keep returning to this one, to review some portion, to get some detail…It was really well done, nicely built, looks great. What switch was used? Could not find it in the video or description. Trying to find a similar switch for a HF 2HP dust collector (115 Volt 20 Amp).
nice job. exactly what I need to do. I do not have a corner to use so I will be building a right angle bracket to hold the blower. Thanks for the Vid. It will help me a bunch.
Nice job on the build and the video! I am looking for another use for the harbor freight dust collector which has been phenomenal for several insulation extractions and blows.
I am thinking of doing a 'Thien' type system when I noticed the air filter looked a lot like the air filter that goes in the Freightliner's and Kenworth's that I used to drive! I think they are about 1 micron, which is still 'trouble'... I could probably spray a can of Endust into the filter and make it 1/2 micron...hmmm... There are filters on Amaz... that are $60! For instance, Wix 46883. $61 in Nov '22. 14"x25"...what's not to love? Has a chrome cap on it you can cut out with a jig saw metal blade,,and stack 2 of 'em up! Hell's bell's,,,at that price...buy 3 and stack them up! 6' high of air filters. Actually I'm going to vent mine outside, low to the ground. But if I were in a basement, etc, I'd do my build with some Big Truck air filters. You think those engines don't have great filtering? Best thing to do if you have a dust collection system is wear a 3M P-100 mask while you are sanding, etc., vent outside, and hope the little particles don't impede your health if you think any/all of these filters will do 100% of the job. A nice build, and thanks for posting it.
Just stumbled upon this video. I have basically done the same setup. Only difference is I used a grizzly filter with the cleaning handle, fit perfectly on the hf dust separator. Have a 1 micron bag below it. Like the pail idea.
Thanks! Well worth the watch and will make my installation alot easier. Can you tell me the distance needed from the ceiling to accomodate the Winn cannister filter?
I saw this video a long time ago and still reference back to it. I wonder how this setup has held up over all this time. It looks great and I have that same dust collector
Great video, Thanks for sharing. I'm getting ready to mount mine and seen many videos on it. I 3d Printed my large cyclone but have not tested yet. Love your setup.Since this video is a little over a year old,how its it all working out.The 5 gallon bucket idea instead of a bag for minor debris.
The $49 "Dust Stopper" from Home Despot and a 7+ gallon "6HP+" shop vac from Lowe's or Menard's or where ever you can get one under $100, does a better job in my tiny shop on the table saw or router table than a $3600 240 volt 3HP cyclone I was willed by a late friend. He had a semi-pro workshop and sold cedar chests in Branson, MO. His five-inch pipes just didn't work well with my 3" outlets. Moved TONS of air, but no suction.
Well done video and great tips! I’m planning to tackle the same job this weekend and will be stealing some of your ideas. The only addition I have is that I’m adding the Rikon impeller upgrade as well. Thanks for making this one. Definitely worth a sub!
I know this is a late comment since I'm just now finding this post, I have also seen where the Wen 3403-22 impeller also works the same as the Rikon impeller but is cheaper price wise. If you happen to one the lucky ones like me that can exhaust the discharge strait out a window or wall without a filter attached that is the BEST way to go since there is NO restriction. My Father-in-Law was able to do this and he said it was night and day between the difference. I'm gonna be doing mine the same way but I think I'm gonna add the Wen impeller. Just think about it this way and it was mentioned in the video, you can't suck dust and debris any faster then what you can push it out the other side, the least resistance at the end of the line the more you can pull at the suction side.
Awesome vid. This is exactly what I need. What is the diameter of the canister (what diameter filter will fit)? Looks like you have the 35B222NANO - MERV 15 Nanofiber with removable end cap?
Daddy needs a new pair of Shoes! Thanks for the video; just what I needed to see...got an old Jet Dust Dog and a GIGANTIC 35 gal can with "cyclone lid"...(CBA: not worth the floor space).
Thanks for this. I'm in the process of copying your specific design. One thing I didn't see in the video is what you used under the bracket you built for the Dust Deputy. I'm guessing it's a second 4" flange, but thought I'd ask. Great take on the HF mod!
The bottom of the dust deputy is actually a 6" hole! I used a 5in flange and tapered the plywood from 6in opening on top to 5in on bottom. Then 5in hose.
@@PatriotDIY I couldn't tell in the video where you tapered from 6in to 5in on the dust deputy. I did see where you tapered into the Gamo Sealed bucket.
Nice. Just finishing up my new shop and will be converting my HF collector to this system. How often does the filter need to be accessed (cleaned) and the 5 gal bucket emptied. I am thinking of putting the blower and filter in my shop attic to free up a bit of space.
One thing that you really should do is upgrade the impeller on the dust collector to a Rikon impeller. I did this on mine and what a huge difference. Well worth the time and $$.
I tried the plywood disk and bucket with screw top Gama seal lid under the filter but found that dust just piles up on the plywood shelf. I went back to the plastic bag because it allows the dust to fall straight through unobstructed. Ya, that annoying bag and metal band actually work better. You will find out as you have to deal with trying to reach up and around the plywood shelf to vac it up. Unless your incredibly ambidextrous.
You definitely have a subscriber! Currently building out my shop. Tied off walking around and over everything and not having space to work. My next step will be dusty connection so thank you for the amazing video! Quick question, no issues with suction with that kind of rise and drop?
Wonderful Installation. I am in the process of doing the same. I already have the Wynn Canister Filter and will order the Super Dust Deputy next week. Have youi made any changes over the past months that you would recommend?
Great video, and a great project. What kind of life expectancy do you get out of the air filter? In my home shop I usually empty my central machinery’s bag once every couple weeks
Thanks so much for this video! I am looking for the next phase of dust collection in my small shop to step up from my Ridgid shop vac lol. One question - with the separator and filter upgrade, do you know is this setup is in line with the other dust extractors like 3M or Festool? I know those are HEPA rated but they still only do one tool at a time and a setup like this would be more practical for multiple tools.
Great video! I copied you exactly. I got the same barrel even. How do you empty it without causing a huge mess? Any special moves or a certain type of bag to dump into? I considered putting a large yard bag in there and screw the lid onto it, then only let if fill partially so I can still get the bag back out?
I've set up a woodworking shop and now have a clean slate, but I'm uncertain about what diameter pipe to opt for in my dust collection system. Currently, I'm equipped with a Harbor Freight 2HP setup, enhanced with upgraded fan blades and a P181038 filter, alongside the addition of the Oneida Cyclone, which I've wall-mounted. I've noticed many RUclips creators employing 4" pipes, while a few opt for 6". Could you shed some light on why you chose the size you did?"
Nice! I'm doing something similar with a Craftsman dust collector my brother gave me. The only question I have is you used 5" flanges on the bottom of your Dust Deputy and the top of your 55-gal bucket, but a 4" flex hose. That hose will stretch over that, or is the rest of your flex hose 5" as well? It all looks the same size.
Awesome setup! Can you tell me what the approximate height from the bottom of the dusty deputy to the top of the filter is? Trying to do a similar setup and want to see how big or small of a barrel I can fit in my small shop.
Great video- I just finished mine last weekend following your steps.. just wondering, where did you get the hose holder that you are showing mounted to the wall?
Great video! One of the best solutions I've seen to take single stage and upgrade it simply and effectively. Wondering how much time and how expensive it is to do this. I am looking to add more dust collection and am wondering if the down time in the shop is worth it. Could it be cheaper to buy a plug n play system so there is no downtime in my shop?
Great video! In the process of building a dust collector and pretty set on this setup. What is the total height required for this configuration. I have just under 9' and this looks really close to that?
This is one of the first dust collection build videos that don't have me scratching my head at the decision making. Great video, nicely documented steps. I'm going to price these parts and watch this while I build it. Thanks for your efforts.

Probably the best video I’ve seen on converting the HF dust collector. I think I’m gonna give it a go
Definitely one of the best videos.
I totally agree. I am definitely going to redesign my dust collection to this configuration.
My thoughts exactly! I too, am not in the budget to spend 1-2 G’s on a DC, and also have seen for years that at least the heart of the HF dc was a great value. I saved this video so that in the future, when i build this EXACT system, I can pull it back up lol

it is a slick looking system what did you use for that reducer from 5" blower inlet to 6" cyclone exit. and have you heard if a 31 gal galvanized trash can will not collapse or not?
@elkskiutah8204 I used a 5 to 6 metal reducer from the ducting section of lowes. Had to crimp one end to make it work.
Not sure about the trashcan
I’ve just completed a setup like this with a few small adjustments since I wasn’t installing in a corner. Thank you for this video and awesome improvement to the harbor freight dust collector!
I’ve watched 20 of these trying to figure out how I’m going to do it. I saw yours and said, “Yes!”
I definitely plan to make these upgrades! Also, I could listen to you talk all day with that accent.
Easily the best video I’ve seen on this subject - the engineering is well thought out and preserves the maximum suction/airflow possible - really great job on this- install looks super clean
This is great, I did a ton of research and this setup seemed like the optimal combo, now you made it much easier to visualize, design and mount up. Thank you!
Have you done it? I'm about to. How well does it work?

Looks great. ordered a bunch off your list. Time to improve my dust collection.
You had a sub at patriot. Great and simple video as well. You made me feel comfortable getting that harbor freight dust collector.
Thank you for adding all the links!

Very nice, I particularly like the 5 gal bucket rather than other things I've seen.
Thanks! ive been putting this off for to long. This video was well done short and to the point! Many thanks.

I used his design and it was perfect.
Thanks.

Can’t believe there aren’t more comments. Beautiful setup!!
I just changed impeller to a wen larger impeller, best 50$ I've spent. Easy to do and increased volume and suction. Highly recommend!
You have a link?
Wen 3403-22 turbo fan
Did you leave the intake 5"? I got my wen. But I saw a video where a guy was testing his flow after each change and when his friend sent him a wooden cover with a 6" plastic flange on it. It didn't increase his CFM.
Left it 5" works great, enjoy!
Wow. Awesome. The entire deal. Thank you. Love your bandsaw. I just captured one like it for $100.
Great how-to video! Keep it up! And glad to see people conceal-carry no matter where they are!!! Makes the name of the channel make a ton of sense!

Fabulous idea, and great video! Definitely saving this for future reference!! 🤗👍👍
Great work, and very quite. would love to see what your cfm reading is at each port and the length of pipe
Just stumbled upon this video. I have basically done the same setup. Only difference is I used a grizzly filter with the cleaning handle, fit perfectly on the hf dust separator. Have a 1 micron bag below it. Like the pail idea.
I’m looking to do this with the grizzly filter as well. Does it need those gear latches for it?

That’s an awesome set up, great video!
thanks
Great video I am gonna be using some of your ideas
Thanks!
great instructional video! very clear
Great video, Thanks for sharing. I'm getting ready to mount mine and seen many videos on it. I 3d Printed my large cyclone but have not tested yet. Love your setup.Since this video is a little over a year old,how its it all working out.The 5 gallon bucket idea instead of a bag for minor debris.
Sweet set up definitely doing this except I'm putting it in my attic with a single drop down through the ceiling
The $49 "Dust Stopper" from Home Despot and a 7+ gallon "6HP+" shop vac from Lowe's or Menard's or where ever you can get one under $100, does a better job in my tiny shop on the table saw or router table than a $3600 240 volt 3HP cyclone I was willed by a late friend. He had a semi-pro workshop and sold cedar chests in Branson, MO. His five-inch pipes just didn't work well with my 3" outlets. Moved TONS of air, but no suction.
Great video!!! Can you pass on where you found the splitter to join the 2 4" lines to the 5" line feeding the cyclone please. Keep up the great work!!
It came with the Harbor frieght collector!
Well done video and great tips! I’m planning to tackle the same job this weekend and will be stealing some of your ideas. The only addition I have is that I’m adding the Rikon impeller upgrade as well. Thanks for making this one. Definitely worth a sub!
Details please... where can we get it? and... did you have a chance to quantify performance impact?
I know this is a late comment since I'm just now finding this post, I have also seen where the Wen 3403-22 impeller also works the same as the Rikon impeller but is cheaper price wise. If you happen to one the lucky ones like me that can exhaust the discharge strait out a window or wall without a filter attached that is the BEST way to go since there is NO restriction.

Just think about it this way and it was mentioned in the video, you can't suck dust and debris any faster then what you can push it out the other side, the least resistance at the end of the line the more you can pull at the suction side.
I am going to check out the wen 3403-22
Awesome vid. This is exactly what I need. What is the diameter of the canister (what diameter filter will fit)?
Looks like you have the 35B222NANO - MERV 15 Nanofiber with removable end cap?
Thanks for the tips
Daddy needs a new pair of Shoes! Thanks for the video; just what I needed to see...got an old Jet Dust Dog and a GIGANTIC 35 gal can with "cyclone lid"...(CBA: not worth the floor space).
Thanks for this. I'm in the process of copying your specific design. One thing I didn't see in the video is what you used under the bracket you built for the Dust Deputy. I'm guessing it's a second 4" flange, but thought I'd ask. Great take on the HF mod!
The bottom of the dust deputy is actually a 6" hole! I used a 5in flange and tapered the plywood from 6in opening on top to 5in on bottom. Then 5in hose.
@@PatriotDIY I couldn't tell in the video where you tapered from 6in to 5in on the dust deputy. I did see where you tapered into the Gamo Sealed bucket.
Awesome video.
excellent and very ingenious!
Has anyone heard of grounding the pipes when using pvc to deal with static? I read it in one of these old dust collection books.
Nice. Just finishing up my new shop and will be converting my HF collector to this system. How often does the filter need to be accessed (cleaned) and the 5 gal bucket emptied. I am thinking of putting the blower and filter in my shop attic to free up a bit of space.
Great idea!
One thing that you really should do is upgrade the impeller on the dust collector to a Rikon impeller. I did this on mine and what a huge difference. Well worth the time and $$.
Mine works great as is! Thanks though
It'd be cool to see some CFM versus vacuum curves. Otherwise it's hard to judge the performance.
I tried the plywood disk and bucket with screw top Gama seal lid under the filter but found that dust just piles up on the plywood shelf. I went back to the plastic bag because it allows the dust to fall straight through unobstructed. Ya, that annoying bag and metal band actually work better. You will find out as you have to deal with trying to reach up and around the plywood shelf to vac it up. Unless your incredibly ambidextrous.
You definitely have a subscriber! Currently building out my shop. Tied off walking around and over everything and not having space to work. My next step will be dusty connection so thank you for the amazing video! Quick question, no issues with suction with that kind of rise and drop?
Nope! It works well
good information
Wonderful Installation. I am in the process of doing the same. I already have the Wynn Canister Filter and will order the Super Dust Deputy next week. Have youi made any changes over the past months that you would recommend?
I've changed a couple of the blast gates to metal ones, but other than that, no changes
Really nice build! Looks great! And a terrific video! Which filter did you use?
Excellent Video!
Great video, and a great project. What kind of life expectancy do you get out of the air filter? In my home shop I usually empty my central machinery’s bag once every couple weeks
Great Job ! 👍👍
Love the video and your tshirt. Great to see a down to earth video using the stuff we have in the shop. Enjoy brother!
Thanks so much for this video! I am looking for the next phase of dust collection in my small shop to step up from my Ridgid shop vac lol.
One question - with the separator and filter upgrade, do you know is this setup is in line with the other dust extractors like 3M or Festool? I know those are HEPA rated but they still only do one tool at a time and a setup like this would be more practical for multiple tools.
Great video! I copied you exactly. I got the same barrel even. How do you empty it without causing a huge mess? Any special moves or a certain type of bag to dump into? I considered putting a large yard bag in there and screw the lid onto it, then only let if fill partially so I can still get the bag back out?
I use a dolly or gand truck and wheel it out to the woods and dump it
love the gun in the waistband while working hahaha, very patriotic indeed!
Did you cover the 4-double screw holes on the gray canister that holds the Wynn Filter? They look to maybe be 1/4” screw holes.
Thank you! I'm going to build this. 1 question, what is the purpose of the donut? Was it to hold the bucket in place?
I've set up a woodworking shop and now have a clean slate, but I'm uncertain about what diameter pipe to opt for in my dust collection system. Currently, I'm equipped with a Harbor Freight 2HP setup, enhanced with upgraded fan blades and a P181038 filter, alongside the addition of the Oneida Cyclone, which I've wall-mounted.
I've noticed many RUclips creators employing 4" pipes, while a few opt for 6". Could you shed some light on why you chose the size you did?"
Nice! I'm doing something similar with a Craftsman dust collector my brother gave me. The only question I have is you used 5" flanges on the bottom of your Dust Deputy and the top of your 55-gal bucket, but a 4" flex hose. That hose will stretch over that, or is the rest of your flex hose 5" as well? It all looks the same size.
Awesome setup! Can you tell me what the approximate height from the bottom of the dusty deputy to the top of the filter is? Trying to do a similar setup and want to see how big or small of a barrel I can fit in my small shop.
About 9 ft
Hi great video, where do you buy the cylinder?
Are finding any accumulation of dust between the gap of collector and the gamma seal bucket?
Some, not alot
Great video- I just finished mine last weekend following your steps.. just wondering, where did you get the hose holder that you are showing mounted to the wall?
Should be a link in the description. The end of the hose is just rested on a 4in flange
Looks great
Great video! One of the best solutions I've seen to take single stage and upgrade it simply and effectively. Wondering how much time and how expensive it is to do this. I am looking to add more dust collection and am wondering if the down time in the shop is worth it. Could it be cheaper to buy a plug n play system so there is no downtime in my shop?
Great video! In the process of building a dust collector and pretty set on this setup. What is the total height required for this configuration. I have just under 9' and this looks really close to that?
Love this upgrade, I just don’t have the ceiling height for it.
How do you clean the pleated filter? My setup is essentially the same just configure a bit different. Great video, thanks
I just blow it out with air compressor
