In this video I built the "Dust Inhaler" It is a portable down draft table. It is 2' wide, 3' long and 6" deep. I made it so it can hook up to my dust collector and boy does it suck!
Thanks for watching!

Great job and attention to detail. This has provided me with some ideas to save on wood. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I’ve seen a lot of good Videos about making a shop down draft tables but I liked yours best because of the quality of the finish. I look forward to making my own. If necessary, I might add an additional supporting bar to stop the top sagging.
Thanks,
Myke
The extra effort worked. I assumed it was purchased retail. That earned a subscription.
Nice work, and I like the extra touches you choose.
Excellent job! Love the blue color, too.
Fantastic finish and even a greater idea for the shop. Thanks Wes.
Thanks. It was a super easy project. And fun too
Great job love the idea. Looks professional.
I loved your attention to detail ! Your pronunciation of out was also a great give away of your roots. Lol. BWPMD
Thanks! You can tell I am Canadian eh!
Nice! I like theway you went the extra mile to make it look store bought!
I like your attention to detail! Keep it up!
Thanks, I got more stuff like this coming!
The dust port should have been on the long side, or better yet, at the center of the bottom. If on the long side, use three slanted directors to the exit hole, if in the center of the bottom , 4 slanted directors. You would like the distance from all the holes to be as close to the same as possible to get equal suction everywhere. To test the air flow without instruments one can use a stick of incense that puts off a small stream of smoke to show relative suction at different places along the top. The only time this is a problem is if you are sanding something that is large compared tot the holed area of the top. If sanding something relatively small, sand it near the outlet end.
That looks great man, thanks for the video!
Wes, You are so talented and very creative....and make everything look so easy! I just love your channel
Thanks!
I like your inspectors. They are making sure everything is square and true.
So dope. Great video and awesome piece
Congratulations. Great Job.
Wow good Job. Looks great
beautiful!! You did an awesome job! Worth copying for sure!
Thanks! I hope to see more like this
Love your design!
Great build Wes! Really enjoyed the video 👍
Thanks!
This was both entertaining and informative and a cut above the others
Thanks! Means alot
Cool build!
Awesome video Wes, thanks for going the extra mile 👍🏻
Thanks, No problem!
Really neat video, thanks so much
I like the design and attention to detail, great job Wes. I may have to attempt to make one of these.
Thanks. They are super simple to make. You obviously don’t need to make it look like mine.
Looks great! Nice project! :)
Looks great and it seemed to work! Im making a new, larger work table and incorporating this into the top somewhere. I do a lot of wood carving (signs, trees etc.) and the dust is everywhere, sad thing is I have a dust collection system but to lazy to move the hose /dust collector and shop vac from tool to tool but it's getting bad in my shop lol
Very nice. I might just have to make one.
Great video.
Great job man
Nicely done Wes! I had made one of those a long time ago & never really use it. Anyway, hope that you get lots of use out of yours...... 😉😉👍👍
Thanks. I had made one too years ago. Mine was an actual cart with a furnace blower inside. It worked good. I hope to get use out of it
Looks great Wes good job
Thank you!!
awesome job
Looks great
3:34 I’ve been making content for a while and digested my fair share as well and I really can’t say that I’ve seen anyone do a Timelapse underneath an ad that continuously plays on top? If you see this, and I know it’s old, but if you’re able to share anything even anecdotally - how did this do in terms of conversion? Phenomenal idea! I know that’s not the purpose of this video but still haha great stuff.
Additionally, I found this as I had the same idea but to add vent fans flush mounted to the underside the support structure of the table with some sort of filtration feature. How do you think that’ll work? I’d still keep the vacuum hose
Awesome build! I need me 2 of those. 😃
A second one would be handy
I need one. I should build one. Thanks for sharing.
You should, it’s awesome.
Thanks a great looking down draft table Wes! Thanks for sharing the video with us!💖👌👍😎JP
no problem! Thank for watching.
Your very welcome Wes! Have a great week!😎
I thought it was going to be a tool review. That looks great Wes!
Thanks man! I was going for a “store bought” look
Good 👍 job
Looks like a production model. Not much to a downdraught but you made your look cool and it certainly looks better than just another ply box with pegboard. Good job man 👌
Thanks man!
A+!
That’s the first time I have ever gotten an A+. In school i was used to getting a “ D” on a good day lol.
Great video. Just wish my shop vac would work with this. You could use some rockler cookies to cut down on scratches.
Thanks! You should be able to make it works with a vacuum
Wes - Neat must have! Sorry to reply so long after the original post but I am just starting out and recently subscribed to your channel with notifications. Woodworking is my retirement hobby and I bought some tools and am getting ready to build shop jigs and cabinets. Once that is done, I thought I would try a bedroom suite based upon your red oak dresser. I had some work done in my yard and I have a great deal of left over Louisiana cypress in 9' lengths and many of the boards are 8' wide. Since I can mill the wood and more is easily purchased here in Mississippi, I was wondering on your thoughts on use of the cypress. Thanks and keep posting the great content!
Thanks for subscribing. Retirement seams so far away for me but I am sure it will be here before I know it. I have no experience with cypress. I mostly work with red oak, maple, and walnut
Looks good wes! Maybe add some poly to the top to help w scratches.??
More importantly,, looks like it works better than it looks
Thanks. I might do that. I am spraying some poly this weekend. I might just hit it with a few coats aswell. Function is more important then looks to me.
Hello Wes. I like your video - I carve signs with my router and I cant find a suitable vacuum system to take the chips and sawdust. I use the 611 dewalt palm router. When using it I get a lot of crud all over me. Was wondering if you have tried routing on top of this inhaler to see if it takes the dust and chips. Burt
Thanks, looks great. Every run it on its side behind your mitre saw or any other extreme sawdust maker?
693 holes. As always, great job, Wes!
Right on!
Good job Wes, you should start selling them!!
Maybe one day. Have to get my cnc to start that.
I love the finishing touches. Where did you get those corner brackets?
thanks! I bought them off amazon
Thank you for saying peg board. I had a piece 🎉🎉🎉
Do you have any issues with deflection at the center of the table? Adding a few evenly spaced spars (between the holes) will reduce the span and increase the support… nicely done!
Love the video. Great work! Where did you get the corner brackets? I did a quick search on Amazon but I guess I used the wrong key words. Thanks for the video.
I found them on Amazon. I can’t remember what they are exactly called
Thanks. I will keep looking. 😀@@WesHamstra
Lmao your "Little Humans" are adorable :)
Great finish!! Watching u router and breath all the dust not sure it will save ya ...you have to do the mask, vak thing every time my friend
Why does the suction go on the side? I was thinking about building one and drilling through my table so it sucks downward.
what cfm and air flow is the extractor you are using on it?
Do you attach a vacuum to the end of the 4 inch hose? Looking to build my own as well and just trying to get everything I need. Any help would be much appreciated!
I am hooking this up to a Dust Collector. you could make one using your vacuum, you just have to make the inlet the right size to fit your vacuum.
Nice table the awesome answer to your question is 777 holes I think in your table lol the Wifey is bad about making sure how many of things they are lol
Top notch downdraft table, nice work. You've had to had about 748 holes. Also probably could of used the downdraft while routing the edges maybe help some of the dust. 😏
Wrong answer. It’s to high. That thought did cross my mind while routing the edges.
@@WesHamstra 672? lol
Still wrong, you are very close. 693
@@WesHamstra haha didn't think it would be an odd number
Nice job! If you used peg board I think it would flex. Supports would be needed which complicated the ramp idea. I'm wondering if the dust might get better pickup if the ramp is focused down in the middle. Also, I think reducing the column inside will increase effectiveness.Whats you thoughts?
I like that idea. I should try and re make the ramp and see if there is better suction
@@WesHamstra I'm just brainstorming but I'm channeling a Dust Stopper vortex situation that could possibly increase dust removal. Picture a funnel situation pointing right down in the middle. If a vortex can be set up, no dust would have a chance to build up and or stick because of the rotation. I might be in to something. Let's figure this out if it's worth perusing. I do think that reducing the inside.volume with a ramp/ funnel etc is much better than just putting a hole in the side for a vac tube. As Im typing, I just got an idea of possibly chicken wire to mold the inside, maybe cover with duct tape and using spray foam insulation to creat the ideal inside shape. Maybe you can bring this idea home. This is kinda fun
Just a tip !!! Seal your vinyl with clear coat before painting and you wont have any bleeding ...Just sharp clean lines !
That’s a great tip! I will have to remember that for next time
Great build Wes... by the way, would you recommend the CX412 DC?..... I have been thinking about getting one
I like it. It has lots of suction. I do find that chips make their way into the filter bag. I find that only happens when I use my dewalt planner.
@@WesHamstra thanks :)
Hey! Noticed that you have a King Industrial table saw. Sold here locally at KMS tools, Western Canada. Cannot find any reviews on King Industrial. Tell me what you think.
I had a king industrial table saw. I upgraded to the 3hp professional sawstop. I didn’t care for it. It was very cheaply made. It didn’t mater what blade I put in it, it would wobble like crazy. They also said it had a 2hp motor yet it struggled to cut through 1” maple with a new blade. My jobsite dewalt tablesaw had more power. I wouldn’t recommend it.
How much cfm do you need?
Only comment other than awesome job is I would have used a rubber surfacing compound on the too surface.
👍
The table looks a bit wiggly - wonder if you'll want a center support? We'll see. Sure is purty, though!
That’s what I said! Once I screwed the top down it really made the top ridged
What size is your dust collector fan motor
It is a 2hp cyclone 1450cfm
You said you will start selling them whenever you get your CNC machine what kind of CNC machine do you have in mind that you’re going to get by the way that was an awesome project I’m probably going to copy yours if you don’t mind😁😎
There a a few places that are with in a 2 hour drive that make them. Looking into getting a 4x8 or a 5x8. It’s going to be expensive. I am working on saving up for it.
@@WesHamstra cool thanks for answering..I had Charlie Thomas make mines..the one who makes the 3way touch plates from Triquetra CNC...
Most important thing is dust collector, filter and vaccum setup and I hardly find any video on it. Every one is just showing table box.
Omg wes, you are soooooooooooooooooo good at whatever you are doing.... omg wes
@7:18
so you are worried about dust.... but not paint fumes??
Should have used the downdraft table while you were routing the edges!
693 holes+12 for the screws ;)
Haha. Winner!
748 holes
Wrong
693 holes
You can't keep us hanging like that.....
So how did it work?
Good, great, not so good????
Built one recentyl but waste of time and materials...
Don't have a fancy dust extractor with 4 inch hoses, just a brand new 5hp shop vac. My contribution to the local land fill 😠
Yeah. It needs to have the air volume from a 4” dust collector
You can buy a pegboard to easy your work.
You obviously didn’t watch my whole video. I talked about that
@@WesHamstra maybe i didnt 😛
Good build, but it's super weird to see the entire build from start to finish but not a single millisecond's footage of you actually using the table. No sanding side-by-side comparison with extractor off then on so we can see the difference, no money shot of dust being whisked down the holes, not even a handful of sawdust just thrown by hand across the table? Like... Did it not actually work, and you can't show us??
So I guess it doesn't work.
