This press has worked like a charm for my projects ruclips.net/user/postUgkxajoEbapTfqWaadnqb04h6U576yxXp-FE . I didn't even secure it to my table top, mainly due to the fact that I was using a 15 lbs drill vise. It's not flimsy at all as to what others have claimed it to be. Make sure the locking nuts and levers are secured and there won't be any issues with light pressure and patience. I was able to drill through aluminum, plastic, and steel (steel took a while) with no problems at all. Yeah it took a little longer than a regular drill press, but I don't have the space OR the money for one.The instruction manual was worthless, but luckily assembling the press was intuitive. However, the manual would be good for ordering replacement parts if needed. There is a nice breakdown of the parts that are included in the kit. Before ordering, make sure it is compatible with your unit, it is clearly stated what models the press is compatible with.This was an excellent purchase for $40!!
Best designed system I've seen after tons of video watching. Love the idea about the router plate! Thanks for posting info about the micro switches. Brillant!
I wish I could give this video 2 thumbs up. I watched it a couple years ago when I first bought a dust collector, and watched it again now that I’m trying to do something like what you have. Thank you. Very clear and informative.
I run my collector without a filter, I vent the invisible dust outside and keep my cyclone emptied, you get probably 1/3 more suction when you remove the filter, it's a noticeable difference, everything else I copied from this video. I'm running a 600cfm collector and it couldn't handle a cyclone with a bag on it.
I remember when I first started wood working, I would think a video like this was over the top ridiculous. Several years later I am drooling while watching this lol.
ikr! When I first started wood working, I noticed everyone always talked about dust collection, and I was like "what's the big deal with a little dust?" Now I get it. I'm in the middle of building a great DC system.
Hi. I wanted to thank you for posting this video. It was instrumental in the installation of my new jet dust collector mounted in the rafters of my small shop. It turned out fantastic, And even better that I got it off the floor! So again, thanks!
Great Video. Right to the Point, hit all of the Basics, and highlights. Answered lots of questions.. Great idea on the Router Fence collection..Ha.. Great find on the Loc-Line. You need lots of volume to catch the dust/shavings on the drill press. When you said almost 100%, I started planning an upgrade.. Ha..Ha.. Watching your videos one by one.. Keep it up if you have the time. You are a natural.. Awesome looking/organized shop.. Thank you for the videos.. !!
I've watched this video several times to prep for my REAL DEAL dust collection system. Really great work and I thank you for helping us out with your straight forward, no BS approach in this video.
Walnut Workshop hello just wanted to know what bandsaw brand was the anemic piece of crap. So I don’t have to buy it, and great content on dust collection. I’m sure mine will be just like yours. Have a nice day & GOD bless!
Someone complained that you talked too much about yourself; I would not know, because I had the sound turned off. I watched your work. Very devoted you are. Wish you well. Subscribed.
Kinda nice to find such a well thought out dust collection system, using sewer pvc and not seeing anyone attack you for the danger of static electricity burning your house down. Nice work.
Using this as a guide I built the same 2 stage system with the same Jet and dust deputy. Other than my home made blast gates needing rebuilt this system works very well. I also added remote start on the Jet since it’s up high on my 12’ walls.
He should give detailed tours of that shop and charge admission. Love all the natural light coming in from different angles, and the floor surface. A naturally-lit shop is a happy-happy fun shop. Another YouToober did a cyclone comparison and found the Dust Deputy to be excellent. His^ system of course is not vented to the outside, but still another YT-er explained the potential downside of doing so (from his practical experience), depending on your amount of use and climate and shop size: The dust collector draws a large volume of air (air that you probably paid cash money to condition) and dumps it to the outdoors, where it's not doing you any good anymore. Oh, yeah - those homemade lumber storage brackets are nice as well...etc., etc.
Wonderful video. I'm an old guy designing a small shop to be placed on a deck extension. That means I have the option of running all my duck work underfloor. That opens a lot of other options, but your blast gate design looks foolproof. Space saving by wall mounting is also a nice method. Thanks for all the tips. Solid Gold.
Very Practical, good grit on adaption, point efficiency built around intended application. I am fitting home shop revolving sawdust collection. I think a lot of times there knowing what one want though not having an explanation. Much Thanks.
It's a nice system that's within the realm of doable for a lot of folks. The micro switches eliminate the frustration of living with a remote (gets lost, batteries die, pointing it, etc.). Overall it's a sensible example that could help people. Many thanks for dropping your knowledge on us.
I am about three quarters through adding my dust collection system. Am am using your video as a guide. I really appreciate all the tips, saved me a lot of time (and using sewer PVC is a great tip, much cheaper). Also found that if you add one layer of gorilla tape on a standard 4" gate valve, it fits perfectly (and snugly) into the 4" PVC pipe. Thanks again. Now I have to decide if I am going to add the microswitch gate valves, those are awesome!
Nice job. I did much the same with my Grizzly 1250 CFM setup. All DWV piping, but I ran my centrally along the ceiling then over to the walls (6" main Y-split to 2 - 4" sub runs) and the same Oneida SDD. The Oneida catches 99% of the chips/dust and worth every penny IMHO. The most expensive parts of my system were the blast gates... I went with a bunch of butterfly gates from Woodpeckers (Fullthrottle) and they work great so far. They run about $25 each, which is really not bad considering what you get.
Thanks very much for sharing this collection of your most precious lessons learned. They're solid gold and I'm going to benefit from every one as I have just acquired the big unit to reconfigure and begin. The microswitches on the blast gates are a tour-de-force of reasoning.
Very well done and informative! Thanks for not adding music to drone out your voice for us that are a bit hard of hearing. Perfectly done and edited. Straight to the point. Thanks!
Sorry I replied to the wrong comment. So sorry if I offended you in and way. Total mistake and please understand. Sorry and thanks in advance for your understanding.
Your system is a work of art and precision! I had the option of running my pvc drain pipe under floor 20 years ago, but yours is much more impressive out in the open. It is another advertisement for your great craftsmanship. Back then I ran thin steel wire through the pipe as ground (for those who care) but it was not necessary. I did use Vaseline to seal the pipe and to make for easy disassembly, and used self drilling sheet metal screws to hold it together. I really like your micro switch system at each gate, so I will be doing that upgrade, probably with magnetic reed switches and low voltage relay.
I work at an industrial carpenter shop and we had a someone who used to work there who had professional experience with installing the most efficient collection systems. One thing he said was to not have the vertical pipes go directly up into the ceiling horizontal pipes. It creates a bad airflow and it gets piled up in the pipe due to how the air will curve up and over when moving into the horizontal pipe. Instead bring your vertical pipes up and to the side of the horizontal pipe. Your setup is probably to small for that buildup to occur, but other than that, the setup is pretty solid!
Great video...thanks for posting. I’m buying the same Jet Vortex and had never considered wall mounting but it looks like a great solution and, as you point out, it will free up considerable floor space.
Great DC system! I would love to see you do a full shop tour video. I work out of a small space (old 1-car garage) and appreciate seeing ideas for maximizing a small space.
Nicely designed system. I have the same blower & cyclone it can handle 6” ducts which will improve performance even with the CFM drop a cyclone causes. Also tape is better than caulking to seal joints. Not criticizing you just suggesting for you and other viewers.
Love those blast gates. You may be only the 2nd person that I've ever seen online (I'm the first) who is using a "Long Ranger" system. And I don't actually use the microswitches, I have a small shop so I just have it wired to a central switch.
Well done. Well thought out, and yes I love the micro switch set up on the gates! Nice system and thank you for sharing as I'm just setting mine up currently.
Very nice I just picked up a single stage from someone on let go for 100 bucks never used and am going with the dust deputy I have watched plenty of videos on thorn baffles but the amount of time to make it and make more dust before I can suck it up it’s worth the money instead of my time . I like the use of the long hose and will incorporate that Thanks for the build
Thank you so much for sharing your successful dust collection system. I am nearing completion of my system following many of your excellent ideas. I have seen comments of failures of the Longranger controller over time and decided to use separate components based on J. Phil Thien's Long Ranger upgrade design.
If you are going to dry fit your pvc pipes or screw them together I found it best to wrap the joints in foil tape made for ducts even for hose joints use that tape and a hose clamp too.
I love the use of vertical space. I’m implementing my first system and this video inspires me to wall mount my system as high as is practically possible. I’ll use the underneath space perhaps for another tool.
I came across your video while searching for ways to convert my Jet 1100 DC to a wall mount and you have exactly what I was looking for. You also had several valuable suggestions that I will shamelessly harvest. Thank you for posting this well made video. I subscribed to your Chanel and look forward to watching your additional posts. Thanks again.
Thanks a lot for the video. I also have a Jet single stage and looking to add the second stage Dust Deputy. Thinking to put the single stage outside and the DD inside (i have very low ceiling). You video is a great inspiration. Hope i can find the micro switches here in Australia. I look forward to your next videos.
Nice job on the dust collection set up. Mine is similar. I used the Harbor freight unit. It works great. It's so much nicer to have a clean shop. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing! I'm in the process of making my first Woodshop. I bought a Grizzly 2 horsepower one stage that I also plan on converting to a two-stage with a super Dust Deputy. I'm going to implement some of your ideas. Well thought-out design!
Great video and great set up. Working on something similar for my garage set up and really appreciated your tips. Thanks for taking the time to make the video.
Nice! Lots of ideas here. Based on a few other videos, I've converted a 2hp Shop Fox blower to a 2-stage, and installed it high on a wall like you did. Now I'm trying to decide where the runs will go. It was easier and cheaper than I thought it would be, and even with only a few temporary flex ducts, it's totally changed the character of my shop. I didn't think I had room for a cyclone, but mounting it this way takes very little space.
Thanks! Lots of great ideas. I'm planning to revamp my dust collection system and this is very helpful; will watch your other recommended videos as well.
Love this!! I teach Building Trades at a High School, and we're remodeling our shop. Gonna steal a lot of these ideas for that and personal shop of course.
Wow! I love that it works for shop class! I loved shop class. Whenever I have to go to my daughters high school I try and check out the shop classrooms and projects.
@@Selandry1 I'll try and remember this post. I'm gonna make a RUclips channel that highlights the class. Once I get that going I'll send you the link, and I'm sure a shop tour will be a must video!
I have a very similar 2-stage setup but since I live out in the country, I sent the air hose to the outside instead of running it through filters. The end of of outside pipe has dryer flap that closes when not in use.
Like your dust deputy system for disconnecting, very efficient. I'm planning mine right now but I think I may need the XL version because I ran 6" mains. Funny I have the exact same dust collector and filter that I also bought off craigslist. I love and use the micro switches from Long Ranger as well. It's one less motion as it turns on with opening the gate, cant get any easier than that. I bought the spring loaded metal gates and dont care for them as they just aren't real smooth operating. I actually like and use a plastic 6" that I use on my miter box station and may convert all my 4" to them as well. The trick I learned on another video from the dust build up was to trim the backside off so the dust cant build up but just pushes out the back. Thanks for putting this video together
Excellent video! I’m always thinking of how to improve my dust collection as it seems like a never ending battle. You have some great tips in your video I will try to incorporate. Thanks!
Excellent instructional D/C video. I'm in the final stages of D/C installation in my own shop. Albeit about 30 years too late. Thus far I'm discovering issues that you've already pointed out. First of all are those cheesy over the counter blast gates. THEY LEAK...and are easily heard above the din of the collector motor. They won't last long. Thanks ever so much for taking the time to produce this. My system's dry-fitted as well, but strengthened by silver furnace tape and self-tapping hex-head screws on each joint. Again, thank you. It's easy to see, you hit the nail on the head.! Thumbs-up...Thumbs-down ratio is awesome.
Terrific! I have a small shop and I've been a bit ambivalent about a plumbed system - but every time i struggle rolling around my wheeled DC I start to veer back towards it. This is a great example of how well it can work and how it doesn't have to be ridiculous or ugly and can actually add a lot of functionality - i love those blast gates!! Thanks for the video, now i just need a bigger-than-my-1hp DC and some extra time :)
Question: Since you are running doorbell wire from the micro-switches along the pipe back to the switch at the collector, why couldn't you just tap that wire into the pipe at various intervals so it could serve double duty as a grounding wire? I know that grounding the plastic pipe to prevent dust explosions doesn't seem to be backed up by actual cases, but for us belt-and-suspender types, why not kill two birds with one stone? Would this work? My electrical knowledge is pretty much zip, zero, nada. "If you can't fix it with a bigger hammer, you have an electrical problem. Hire a pro." Anyway, I thank you for this video. Elegant and simple = genius!
Well done! A great DC video! I too incorporated the very many videos I had researched to come up with a similar system that meets my shop needs. Best of all, you accurately identified the Loc-Line segmented dust collector ducting. I've been looking for that brand name for a while for my Powermatic 63 table saw. The 2-1/2 inch dust port on the saw is within the open cabinet and moves with the blade as you tilt the blade for angle cuts. Loc-Line will work perfectly for making a "permanent" dust port for the saw that will still move as the blade tilts back and forth. Thanks, man! #KeepTheChipsFlying!
Great contribution, I strongly feel will be using many of your suggestions for the small shop I am trying to put together. I may end up doing it in the basement of my home and I'm very concern with the subject of dust collection. I may even add a ceiling air filtration system too. Thanks for taking the time to make such a helpful video.
I've been trying to figure out what would work best for my garage/wood shop. This video answered all my questions. Thank you for this video.

Walnut Workshop I have posted a question to you about finding a 110v multiswitch gate , I can only find 220v or 110v but using the remote .
joe I am told that they no longer make the 110 volt, but if you search there are some work arounds out there.

The micro switches are fantastic. Wired is always more reliable than wireless. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Very timely vid as we are going to revamp our system. Tons of good ideas. You are correct: think first, build second...
Kinda nice to find such a well thought out dust collection system, using sewer pvc and not seeing anyone attack you for the danger of static electricity burning your house down. Nice work.
I have been called a moron a few times now. I have ask for specific cases of shop fires from static but don’t hear anything back.
Using this as a guide I built the same 2 stage system with the same Jet and dust deputy. Other than my home made blast gates needing rebuilt this system works very well. I also added remote start on the Jet since it’s up high on my 12’ walls.

Love it!!. I've watched MANY dust collection videos too. I wished I had seen this sooner. Simple, not complicated. Thanks

I bought the spring loaded metal gates and dont care for them as they just aren't real smooth operating. I actually like and use a plastic 6" that I use on my miter box station and may convert all my 4" to them as well. The trick I learned on another video from the dust build up was to trim the backside off so the dust cant build up but just pushes out the back. Thanks for putting this video together
Are your DC,s 220V or 110V? 2HP? What model did you guys go with? Trying to do it right the first time. Thanks!
I think you should not be so circumspect. 'Insane' simply does not do your system justice. It is the work of a God.
nice job, I can echo many of your comments about the need for good control of sawdust
By the way, very informative video. I like your no nonsense, common sense approach.
Excellent video! I’m always thinking of how to improve my dust collection as it seems like a never ending battle. You have some great tips in your video I will try to incorporate. Thanks!
Excellent instructional D/C video. I'm in the final stages of D/C installation in my own shop. Albeit about 30 years too late. Thus far I'm discovering issues that you've already pointed out. First of all are those cheesy over the counter blast gates. THEY LEAK...and are easily heard above the din of the collector motor. They won't last long. Thanks ever so much for taking the time to produce this. My system's dry-fitted as well, but strengthened by silver furnace tape and self-tapping hex-head screws on each joint. Again, thank you. It's easy to see, you hit the nail on the head.! Thumbs-up...Thumbs-down ratio is awesome.
Great video, working on my dust collection now. Gonna use a bunch of your feature/tips.
Terrific! I have a small shop and I've been a bit ambivalent about a plumbed system - but every time i struggle rolling around my wheeled DC I start to veer back towards it. This is a great example of how well it can work and how it doesn't have to be ridiculous or ugly and can actually add a lot of functionality - i love those blast gates!! Thanks for the video, now i just need a bigger-than-my-1hp DC and some extra time :)
wonderful workshop
Excellent video. Gave me a lot of ideas
What model collector is that ? Or hp if your not sure on the model .
I absolutely love your setup. Green with envy. Keep up the great work!
Great video. Thnak you for the tips.
Thanks for this. Great ideas. About to build mine out.
Lots of time has passed have you made any changes and thanks for posting a great video.
No changes. And I still love it. Thanks for posting.
Question: Since you are running doorbell wire from the micro-switches along the pipe back to the switch at the collector, why couldn't you just tap that wire into the pipe at various intervals so it could serve double duty as a grounding wire? I know that grounding the plastic pipe to prevent dust explosions doesn't seem to be backed up by actual cases, but for us belt-and-suspender types, why not kill two birds with one stone? Would this work? My electrical knowledge is pretty much zip, zero, nada. "If you can't fix it with a bigger hammer, you have an electrical problem. Hire a pro." Anyway, I thank you for this video. Elegant and simple = genius!
Never thought of it!
Well done! A great DC video! I too incorporated the very many videos I had researched to come up with a similar system that meets my shop needs. Best of all, you accurately identified the Loc-Line segmented dust collector ducting. I've been looking for that brand name for a while for my Powermatic 63 table saw. The 2-1/2 inch dust port on the saw is within the open cabinet and moves with the blade as you tilt the blade for angle cuts. Loc-Line will work perfectly for making a "permanent" dust port for the saw that will still move as the blade tilts back and forth. Thanks, man! #KeepTheChipsFlying!
one of the best videos I've seen on dust collection! (and I have seen quite a bunch...!) Congrats!
Absolutely FANTASTIC! Looks like it's extremely expensive, so I'll just get some ideas. Lol.
Excellent video! So glad I found this.
Thank you for sharing, lots of great ideas for my shop remolding. 👍🏽
Great contribution, I strongly feel will be using many of your suggestions for the small shop I am trying to put together. I may end up doing it in the basement of my home and I'm very concern with the subject of dust collection. I may even add a ceiling air filtration system too. Thanks for taking the time to make such a helpful video.
Nice looking shop, really like the dust setup.
I need a dust collection system in the worst way, great video!
