@@MrRandyvan What are they? Why is it near 700 days for a house wrap? If you say to do first fix electrical, then why has this not been done in the near 700 days since?
Great video! The way these cyclones work is using the heavier weight particulates drops to the dust collector while lower weights get through to the vacuum so the vacuum's filter deals with that. Flour is very small particulate and weight so you may be hitting the basic dust collection models limit. Using sawdust which has a larger particulate size and therefore weight will see significant improvements over the flour. At the plant I worked at our collection system was 2 stories tall so this method definitely works and scales surprising well. This is also the same technique used by Dyson vacuums. I appreciate the comparison!
@@johnwoods1688 I don't care what system is being used, when the vacuum cleaner's filter is clogged by drywall dust or any fine dust, you are going to get fine dust exiting the vacuum cleaner. I have had this happing when I am vacuum drywall dust!
@@gtuttle4 in these go end remodels I am looking for as close to 100% dust collection as possible. With these clients and their million dollar homes it’s worth the extra money in bag and filters to keep them happy
@@johnwoods1688 I agree, it's just this type of setup doesn't really give you close to 100%. You would need a large filter like is used in wood shops. The filters are approximately 18 to 24 inches in diameter that dump into a fabric bag.
Dude - is everything okay on the homestead? We're not seeing nearly as much of you as we used to and it looks like a lot of re-tread material. Hope you're all okay. Catch us up, why don'tcha?
Flour is is highly combustible when you factor in the static generated, also I was under the impression that the cyclones were not designed to collect fine dust but the heavier particles, that's also why a bag in the shop vac is a must.
I am sorry, but your test is not valid because the centrifuge dust collectors before the vacuums are only supposed to separate the large particles and allow the fine particles to pass on to the main dust collector. I have a 35 gallon centrifuge collector attached to my two stage dust collector that further separates the particulate by size. Nice try though.you should be cautious about the static electricity because you could have an explosion. All components need a continuous ground connection to each other.
That's right. These systems are designed to upgrade a one or two stage system. I have a 2 1/2 for the road and a 4" in the shop. Both work great and greatly extend my filter cleaning time.
The flower and not sawdust test is also all about a consistent particle size & make a reliable even test between the 3 models. I also like a ground wire attached to all hoses since they build up the most static and also grounding to the ground not the concrete floor. So bolts in the timber brackets or a grounding spike?
In my system I picked up a ground from my electrical panel and ran it as a continuous ground throughout the entire dust collection system, branching off as needed. If you have a regular dust collector there should be instructions on how to do it in the owners manual.
Surely you want the large particles to travel on and the fine material to end up in the bucket? I definitely want to keep the fine particles out of the main unit.
@@ian1352 no, you want the larger pieces to drop out into a solid container so they dont punch holes in your filter bags that collect the dust, or get caught in the hose at joints and maybe create a blockage.
This video is not representative of what dust separators are there for. I have been using two of them in my woodworking shop for some time. One is connected to a Nilfisk industrial vacuum with 2400 watts with both motors running. The second to a normal shop-vac. In both the Nilfisk and smaller shop-vac, I have a filter bag installed. The Nilfisk has been using it‘s bag for four years and it has hardly any dust content inside. What‘s more important, the filter looks new!!! There is never any loss of suction power, the metal drums under the cyclones catch 99.9% of all the dust . Anymore questions, please ask...
I think wood dust is easier than fine say cement powder, My system works great with wood, but cement dust gets through the cyclone and clogs the vacuum cleaner. Not easy old mate.
Anyone notice that Alyssa is not part of this video? Also, her mason jar/canned goods are not in the garage in the background. I'm thinking they are separated and he's trying to make a quick buck on the videos. That said, I'm not judging their relationship but don't try to pull the wool over our eyes.
This is one of those “just because you didn’t die...” moments. Search for flour explosion. It really concerns me about the static shock and the flour dust in motion in a high volume of air. There is a much more safe way to make a small flour explosion if you desire.
You really need to ask your audience why they are here. I'm here for house build. I am not here for reviews, personally. I got invested in your house build.
I worked in a bakery as a young man ,health and safety were always worried about explosions, apparently flour in the air mixing with static electricity can actually blow the building up just wondered if you were aware of the danger
For ultra-fine dust, the best collector would be one with the inlet/outlet ports separated by the most distance. Fine dust remains suspended in the fast moving air and gets pulled out by the close proximity of the outlet hose. Flour does not have the weight necessary to be removed by the cyclonic effect. This is an absolute worst-case scenario for this equipment.
@@syrzyy maybe a sort of baffle box with filters as the baffles, with super fine you want to slow the air as much as possible so that the particles can drop out of suspension
I am a drywall finisher and use a Dust Deputy and Rigid 6.0 with a Oneida cyclone. I have used the 2 machines I put together for 5 and 6 years. There is static but you need to attatch a ground to yourself as you use the tool. I work on concrete and steel construction and this guy's tests don't mean anything to what I do. Controlling dust and controlling static are 2 different things. I don't know of anybody that vacuums flour.
I don’t think I can watch this stuff anymore. I like to see house construction not dust filter analysis I’m going to de-subscribe. lots of luck in future I hope you finish you’re House one day!
Not to be a wet blanket, but you do know that flour dust is Explosive don't you? See news items about grain elevator explosions. Thinking about keeping your family safe. Maybe tie the grounds together and use a wire to the ground slot on a plug? I'm sure the experts will call me crazy....or correct me as they see fit.
It's about the correct concentration as could also be fuel rich. The ignition energy also has to be sufficient. More probable that this would lead to a deflagration
Please give up on these types of videos and get back to finishing your house. That’s why we’re here, to see it completed. Not these nonsensical reviews that are proving to be absolutely useless.
Never repeat Never blow out you air filters from the outside in! Do it from the inside out. The reason? from the outside in Blows the dust into the filter helping clog the filter
It's not the end of the world. Blowing tangentially along the filter does remove the bulk of the caked on material. Every time you run the vacuum dust is being drawn into the filter pores.

i like what you did here .as for the dust stopper ,remove the black thing .then cut a piece of PVC 1 1/2 " X 5" push it into the hole in the DS lid retest
When a procedure creates fine dust, or flour, such as when power sanding simply use a free standing bag dust collector. These cyclones are made to drop heavier materials into the cyclone bucket.
Working around grain mills for a number of years doing repairs/refits of exploded grain mills I can tell you that fine flour dust is one of the destructive thing one can see. Be careful of sparking flour in the garage. If one of those things went off in the garage the end result would not be pretty. Just a guy who worked in grain mills and witnessed the blue flame one too many times.
Hi Jessie, The tests are floored as has been said before. Flour is just too fine, even the sharpest saw will never get sawdust that fine. I did chuckle when you were getting static shocks, I think it is the flour that is causing you the static problems. I have several dust systems on my tools and all of them work very well at stopping chips and sawdust, I have a dust deputy on a 45-gallon drum, my other systems are home-made, 2 are like the dust stopper and, 3 are more like the dust right. (I have collection direct at the source on each tool) As I said all my systems work at about 96% efficiency, so I suggest you need to use sawdust to get a more realistic test. I think that if you used a static wrist band as you do if you are working on a computer instead of trying to earth the vacuums you would get a lot fewer shocks, I could not think of any way to increase the shocks, unfortunately.
If they work that well on really fine dust (think drywall cutting dust or concrete dust from drilling, or sanding dust) like flour, imagine how well they work on larger stuff like sawdust. Probably around 96% as you said.
Can't wait for your delicious orange and blue bread recipe! Thanks for the vid. Seems like some people are not very happy with the vid, but I learned a few things.
I suspect that flour particle size is at least an order or magnitude smaller than sawdust particle size. I'd have put table saw sawdust in the 80 micron neighborhood or so and flour at around 8 micron. The sawdust probably also has a much higher variance whereas the flour is sifted through a sieve and would have a hard upper bound. So flour would flow with the air more readily than sawdust and cyclone separators would be more effective on the latter.
While you are right. This is a worse case scenario. You also get some mighty fine sawdust when running large sanders. so what ever one does the best in this scenario you know it should function excellent with normal sawdust
Wow, my DustStopper works great. I never have to clean out the vacuum. Not sure what you need for proof, but i have not used a vacuum bag in 2 years! No testing needed. Proof is in my bucket!
As others have said, cyclones are not for separating fine dust. They separate heavy particles and the fine dust should go straight to the vacuum. For what you are doing you need a dedicated dust extractor type of vacuum like Festools 577413 or the Fein Turbo I Wet/Dry Dust Extractor. These are designed for exactly what you are doing, and they have a feature that periodically reverses the suction in the vacuum that cleans the filter bag. I've used one for years with a drywall sander and they work remarkably well. But you did give it the old college try.
What's the point? It's like testing three hammers to see if you can drive screws with them. Spoiler alert: You can. Since they are wet dry vacuums, are you going to see if they will clean up 5 gallons of maple syrup next? You click-baited me, but you didn't get a new subscriber.
I have the dustopper in my wood shop and I've never been shocked picking up saw dust. Also I've emptied my dustopper probably more than 10 times before having to empty my vac. Lost some suction as the vac got full but the filter was easily cleaned.
I see you have a Shopsmith. Same here and I'm trying not to spend the $900 for the dust collector. For these dust collectors, what size hose do you use between the dust collector and the Shopsmith?
Did you know static and flour can become very explosive. I would rather you don't keep doing it wrong. I have experienced a bread bakery shop go up because they stored the flour in open bins next to the mixers. The static from a shorted mixer is what set it off. It was a tiny spark that turned into a fireball the size of a car instantly.
You have to wondered if the vertical size of the hopper makes a difference or adding an 6" x at the bottom to stop the spinning of the dust storm at the bottom?
I was a software test engineer for over 30 years; I wrote programs that tested other programs. On one hand, I completely buy into this series of tests. On the other hand, I had to laugh at how geeky we (those of us who are watching,as well as those of us who are performing the tests) all are to be so invested in watching a series of machines inhale colored flour. Blessed are the Geeks and the Nerds for we shall understand the workings of the universe.
Respectfully, these dust collectors were made for sawdust and wood chips, not flour. So this test didn't prove anything meaningful to me, as a woodworker.
At least you know that if flour doesn't clog them up, neither will sawdust.
I have worked as a baker for over thirty years , I can tell you now that there is no machine able for flour , broom cloth and blower is the only way

Hi Jessie, The tests are floored as has been said before. Flour is just too fine, even the sharpest saw will never get sawdust that fine. I did chuckle when you were getting static shocks, I think it is the flour that is causing you the static problems. I have several dust systems on my tools and all of them work very well at stopping chips and sawdust, I have a dust deputy on a 45-gallon drum, my other systems are home-made, 2 are like the dust stopper and, 3 are more like the dust right. (I have collection direct at the source on each tool) As I said all my systems work at about 96% efficiency, so I suggest you need to use sawdust to get a more realistic test. I think that if you used a static wrist band as you do if you are working on a computer instead of trying to earth the vacuums you would get a lot fewer shocks, I could not think of any way to increase the shocks, unfortunately.
He said 'floored'
If they work that well on really fine dust (think drywall cutting dust or concrete dust from drilling, or sanding dust) like flour, imagine how well they work on larger stuff like sawdust. Probably around 96% as you said.
Sanding dust is very fine.
You flew to high near the sun your wax wings are melting and your fall from fame is starting.pretty rapidly.
need to be careful and ground the systems because you might cause a dust explosion flour and grain dust can cause very large explosions
Can't wait for your delicious orange and blue bread recipe! Thanks for the vid. Seems like some people are not very happy with the vid, but I learned a few things.
I've been using a dust deputy knockoff for years and have never been shocked by it. What is causing your static?
Boo bring back house build
Be nicer, how many times do you think others would like to "BOO" you? Be kind, encourage them
I suspect that flour particle size is at least an order or magnitude smaller than sawdust particle size. I'd have put table saw sawdust in the 80 micron neighborhood or so and flour at around 8 micron. The sawdust probably also has a much higher variance whereas the flour is sifted through a sieve and would have a hard upper bound. So flour would flow with the air more readily than sawdust and cyclone separators would be more effective on the latter.
Could u please do some interesting videos. Outdoor possible
If you are going to do this kind of test you need to make it more scientific by weighing the flower before and then weighing how much is in the bin.
Disappointed with this video. You are off your game
I gave you a thumbs up simply for the "chalk line pancakes" at the end!
Test flawed from start, separators
designed for particulates not flour
While you are right. This is a worse case scenario. You also get some mighty fine sawdust when running large sanders. so what ever one does the best in this scenario you know it should function excellent with normal sawdust
Ayep. Dude is testing for the wrong debris.
drywall dust is pretty fine stuff on par with flour. You know how much of that he will encounter later on?
Tim Hodgson they used to make a water bucket based setup for sanding drywall that worked great, water caught the dust
@@charlie7057 I made my "water trap" with ABS pipe and a 5 gallon bucket, it was cheap and very effective.
Wow, my DustStopper works great. I never have to clean out the vacuum. Not sure what you need for proof, but i have not used a vacuum bag in 2 years! No testing needed. Proof is in my bucket!
Thanks for doing that video it’s totally awesome👍🙏🖖
As others have said, cyclones are not for separating fine dust. They separate heavy particles and the fine dust should go straight to the vacuum. For what you are doing you need a dedicated dust extractor type of vacuum like Festools 577413 or the Fein Turbo I Wet/Dry Dust Extractor. These are designed for exactly what you are doing, and they have a feature that periodically reverses the suction in the vacuum that cleans the filter bag. I've used one for years with a drywall sander and they work remarkably well. But you did give it the old college try.
What's the point? It's like testing three hammers to see if you can drive screws with them. Spoiler alert: You can. Since they are wet dry vacuums, are you going to see if they will clean up 5 gallons of maple syrup next? You click-baited me, but you didn't get a new subscriber.
I hope its organic syrup
electrical in the house? plumbing? drywall installation? flooring? molding?
Again why did you not use saw dust, i dont have flour in my shop.
I have the dustopper in my wood shop and I've never been shocked picking up saw dust. Also I've emptied my dustopper probably more than 10 times before having to empty my vac. Lost some suction as the vac got full but the filter was easily cleaned.
Why not use a dust bag in the shop vac to see if zero dust gets to the filter
I see you have a Shopsmith. Same here and I'm trying not to spend the $900 for the dust collector.
For these dust collectors, what size hose do you use between the dust collector and the Shopsmith?
The BEST dust collector review on RUclips. Thank you!
Did you know static and flour can become very explosive. I would rather you don't keep doing it wrong. I have experienced a bread bakery shop go up because they stored the flour in open bins next to the mixers. The static from a shorted mixer is what set it off. It was a tiny spark that turned into a fireball the size of a car instantly.
As can wood dust. Had a massive explosion near here from wood dust.
You have to wondered if the vertical size of the hopper makes a difference or adding an 6" x at the bottom to stop the spinning of the dust storm at the bottom?
I was a software test engineer for over 30 years; I wrote programs that tested other programs. On one hand, I completely buy into this series of tests. On the other hand, I had to laugh at how geeky we (those of us who are watching,as well as those of us who are performing the tests) all are to be so invested in watching a series of machines inhale colored flour.
Blessed are the Geeks and the Nerds for we shall understand the workings of the universe.
