Ryan That is GREAT , I have a small shop also and have been using the small hoses for my collector and cyclone t my shopvac. Your use of the PVC elbows has open my mind to my future miter saw and my present radial saw dust collection ...
Very nice idea brother. And you are right, the suction looked just fine to me. The music on this video had me tapping, nodding and shuffling while watching. David rocks. Thanks Eric central Florida
Awesome. I am planning a very similar setup (belt sander station + router table + mitre saw) and wanted to reduce the number of individual blast gates. This will work perfectly with my intended layout.
You could use clear acrylic tubing for the straights. That way you can see how easy the dust flies through it, and spot any potential clogs. Great Vid. I'm gonna have to build one for myself.
Thank you for all the research, time and effort you have devoted to producing these very informative videos over the year. Your videos have been very helpful and your designs have made me "look" more brilliant (according to my neighbors) - I did release my sources to them, you got the praise ;-) Thank you and Happy New Year to you and your family, Ciao, L (from Maine USA & Quebec, CAN)
Excellent design and build Ryan! So many good things and ideas about it! The double gate with very innovative gate stop! Agree that having it right in front to operate was also very nice! Wish you and your loved ones a wonderful Christmas and hope the new year is filled with happiness and joy in 2017!
Best solution I have seen for a small shop using central vacuum piping. I have set up Cyclone System with Shop Vac.... but had frustrations with different types of hoses and piping with different diameters. Amazing how hoses and piping can be so different. I plan to follow your method of extending my simple dust collection to maybe 4 stations much like you have in a medium size basement shop room near the furnace. Minimizing the breathing of the dust is so crucial and necessary. Did you purchase your materials on line? Did you find the flexible tubing to the various tools came from same source? Did you find the various connections were different like from shop vacumn to separator to the connection out of separator to the individual tools seem to vary also. How did you deal with those differences? Also returned the blast gates I purchased at $8.00 each as I could not find piping etc to fit them. I welcome your feedback and am going to watch your follow up video now. Thank you for your great video. It was a great help to me in my "dust control journey". Charlie Nielson
how do you like the dust collection on that rigid saw....I find it only collect half the dust....maybe I'm missing something as to make it suck the dust better.....not sure...love the saw and saw you have the same one....thought I'd ask
I work with powder transfer (should have similar properties to saw dust) and we use both pushing and pulling in our transfer systems. Powder does not travel the same as fluid and the 90° elbows should not have a negative effect. Sweeping curves are not needed like they are with fluid. Nice job and thanks for the video.
Like it allot. Maybe a larger pick up for the miter saw. Looks like you are getting a little over flow of dust, easily fixxed with a larger pick up. Just a thought. Vinny
a question I've been using my straight shop vac and have been thinking about moving it up into my rafters like I do a lot of things. But I don't know if it will have enough draw to pull stuff up amd them around my shop without clogging up. I see you are using smooth pipe for you're runs I guess that might help. As it sets now it has the stock flex hose and that is really prone to clogging. What size vac are you running a.d what is you're longest run.
Very nice work. I also watched your video on the initial installation of your dust collection system. A couple of questions: What level of horsepower shop vac is needed for this kind of setup? Do you prefer the cutting board material over wood for the sliding parts of your blast gates? Thanks so much.
I'm puzzled! Since dust can travel through both the back & underneath at the same time ( it does on mine & others I've seen ). Shouldn't you have allowed for that? With another connection solely for the router.
Do you have any issues with static from the PVC? I have heard it can be a problem, and potentially discharge a shock, or start a fire. I use a shop vac with clear tubes from shop vac, but would love to add more using this PVC...
Are you happy with how this works with your router table? How big a compartment do you have for the router under the table? Love the approach and will use something similar for a three way blast gate for my set up. Thank you.
i love that simple half stop idea. I have to give that is rouge smart. in exchange please take an advice from me as well, cause i feel pity on your Ridgid drill. Drill the center-, or pilot-hole trough first, then start to drill with the saw bit from both side. If you have like 1/3 pre-cut you will feel it when you have to speed up the drill, and just keep the drill almost steady and let the saw do the job. I know its not important in this case, but if you have cut from the other side as well, you don't rip the edges neither. But i think this advice is not to you (i think you know that), but to those who watch this tutorial and they might think giving a headbutt on a workpiece is a must. ;)
Just a thought ? you might want to trim your right hand counter flush( remove the over hang ),,, seemed like the hose and cord could use that clearance, , ,,, great blast gate ,set up and location, plus you on a shop vac and not a dust collector,,, (shop vac typically have greater suction ,so the extra 90's should not be that big of a issue for all the hatters out there ,lol
Even simpler low-tech solution to line up with the middle: position it where you want it and draw a pencil line on each side (on the cutting board) to show where to slide it to.
David Falk they are to run a collection tube to 2 separate machines. The slide is to block off which ever which ever one that's not being used, so that you'll get more suction at the needed port.
Where possible use 45 deg. bends in lieu of 90 deg. for your vent piping and you'll improve the efficiency of the dust removal. You may have sufficient blower capacity already but the 45's would be better if you can use them. Nice shop!
Courious about the mitre saw boot behind the saw blade. Seems to pick up the saw dust very well. Most mitre saws blow the dust and chips all over. Did the boot come with your saw or did you make it?
Super clever, Ryan. That little piece for the center stop was brilliant.
+Crafted Workshop thanks, marry Christmas:)
Ryan That is GREAT , I have a small shop also and have been using the small hoses for my collector and cyclone t my shopvac. Your use of the PVC elbows has open my mind to my future miter saw and my present radial saw dust collection ...
Happy holidays everyone!! thanks so much for all the support throughout 2016
Merci! joyeuses fêtes à toi aussi! :)
Very clever. I like that it is easy accessible too.
the stop on the gate is super clever, thanks for sharing
Ingenious little design there, well done.
I love your simple stop. Making things more complicated is a huge issue 🤣😂
I like the fact that blast gates are in front of work bench awesome idea thanks for the idea.
the double stop solution was brilliant as was the placement. awesome job and happy holidays
+Clinton Bartenstein thanks! You too:)
Very nice idea brother.
And you are right, the suction looked just fine to me.
The music on this video had me tapping, nodding and shuffling while watching.
David rocks.
Thanks

Great solution for the center stop. Loved the video.
thanks!
Great build. I love the simplicity of the "second stop" you built. KISS is best!
Great idea on the stop, well thought. Thanks for sharing
Awesome. I am planning a very similar setup (belt sander station + router table + mitre saw) and wanted to reduce the number of individual blast gates. This will work perfectly with my intended layout.
Like you, I was over-engineering that center stop in my head as the video was progressing. Nice work.
its easy to do;)
thanks Ryan.... as usual, GREAT STUFF from the The Shop.... MERRY CHRISTMAS!
That looks really sharp and like it'll be a lot easier for you to use.
+YouCanMakeThisToo thanks:)
Very ingenious! I like your shop but I think you like making things for it the most!!
very nice project very creative thinking for that blast gate. have a merry Christmas man.
+Justin Gillespie thanks! You too:)
Great idea with the swivel position stop. Didn't see that coming.
Nicely done, sir!
I feel like I'm arriving at this party a bit late. You have a couple of great ideas here. Thanks for the help.
Thanks Ryan.
Very cool as always.
This cutting board idea, awesome!!!
Nice Job Ryan. Excellent Idea for the stops. Have a Merry Christmas. and a Happy New Year.
another sweet build Ryan, Merry Christmas and keep on building!
That's a clever design and relatively simple and cheap. I was surprised at how exhaust/suction fittings can be so expensive. Merry Christmas
Thanks! yeah they run bout 3-5 bucks a piece , can add up:)
very slick and nice really easy to get to and work!
so simple so clever my next job is making that Happy New Year to you all
Regards
Steve UK London
Sweet I really like the idea of it being up front awesome job.
thanks:)
You could use clear acrylic tubing for the straights. That way you can see how easy the dust flies through it, and spot any potential clogs. Great Vid. I'm gonna have to build one for myself.
Where can you obtain the clear acrylic 2" tubing?
Lowes or Home Depot usually carry it.
Super, yet simple & relatively cheap, neat idea. I love it.
Merry Xmas.

Very clever Ryan! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
You come up with such good ideas
Wow, that was a great solution for the stop. Love your shop by the way. You must spend a ton of time in there.
I like it. Can't wait to implement
how do you like the dust collection on that rigid saw....I find it only collect half the dust....maybe I'm missing something as to make it suck the dust better.....not sure...love the saw and saw you have the same one....thought I'd ask

2:51 - Actually really clever. Nice job.
Simple and effective. Brilliant!

I like your vacuum A-B switch I need to build one for my table saw/floor sweep drop. First video of yours that I have watched.
Clever with the double duty handle/twist stop
Great job as always! Thank you for sharing and Merry Christmas!
Very smart! Nice design Bryan. :)

Tidy. I like your solution for the double stop.
+Greg's Garage thanks:)
an elegant solution.
very nice :)
thanks!
Brilliant idea, Thanks!
Fantastic idea love it
Were would I find that plastic stuff?
Good job, Merry Christmas
Thanks, you too!
darn good job and good idea, I love it.
Great idea 😊

I'm glad I'm not the only one that over complicates ideas! Lol
+Dennis Wolbeck I'm notorious for that;)
Same here.
You might look at Frank Howarth's channel. He did rather a neat dust extraction for the mitre saw that doubles as a kind of vacuum hold down.
Love your little T shaped mark up tool. Who makes it.
Do you have any issues with static from the PVC? I have heard it can be a problem, and potentially discharge a shock, or start a fire. I use a shop vac with clear tubes from shop vac, but would love to add more using this PVC...
Great idea.

Nice blast gate, but that rocking table saw scares me a bit 😬

That's a lot of pvc. Are you concerned about static electricity buildup that can cause a dust explosion?
Fajn vynález,bravo.
nice job!
Good job.
I like it, nice work Ryan! happy holidays brother!
+Southern Ginger Workshop thanks! You too:)
Southern Ginger Workshop
great ideas for my future shop. question though, why the 2 ports?

Hi! When you make you router shroud don't forget the router needs intake air.
Mike.
+Michael D Joven thanks! I'll keep that in mind:)
very clever
Great Job!
very good!!!!
Courious about the mitre saw boot behind the saw blade. Seems to pick up the saw dust very well. Most mitre saws blow the dust and chips all over. Did the boot come with your saw or did you make it?
great idea !! tanks
Nice job on the whole blast gate, Is there a site where you can buy central vac pipe and components?
These PVC pipes and connectors can be purchased at Home Depot or Lowes. I have these in my house. 1.5" is the pipe.
That's awesome, great idea and thanks for sharing :)
Interesting design! :)
Love it. nice
Great video thanks
Happy New Year cheers!
Did you use any glue on the pipes?
I love your vids
Did you ground your dust collection system to keep from having static electricity build up?
Ola excelente ideia vou fazer para as minhas maquinas.Boas Festas.Ok
