Incredible Dust Collection on a 14" Bandsaw!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- In this video, I'll show you how I made a few improvements to my old Delta 14" bandsaw. We'll start with a simple shop-made shroud that eliminates the factory dust port, add a brush to scrub the wheel whilst it's running and create a 4" dust port in the lower cover that sucks all of the saw dust and keeps your workspace much cleaner!
The Fritz/Franz jig shown at around 5:40 was made by David Bedrosian. Find him here on RUclips @Bedrosian or on Instagram @bedrosianwoodworks
The clamps I use on my slider work incredibly well, I make & sell the blocks to hold them…you can find the blocks to fit the Hammer K3 (and some other machines) here: ramonvaldezfin...
The 6" Kreg clamps can be found below. They require the Bench Clamp Base as well. It's a fantastic set up for a slider!

I love the " Eyecrometer " thanks for sharing your tips once again .
Ha ha…yeah.
Thanks a lot for watching! Cheers
It truly is fascinating watching your mind at work. Thanks for sharing.
I appreciate that...truly! Thanks for watching
Another great video. I’ve been working with wood for nearly 50 years with the last 35 years professionally and yet, I always get at least one little gem from your videos and I always see value in the many tips for the new guys. Really appreciate you bro.
I love seeing comments like this! Thanks a lot and thanks for watching
Another outstanding video, Ramon!! Great idea to use the cardboard and glue gun for the mockup. I love how you tell us your thought process as you go - I'm always talking to myself as I'm working 🙂 Thanks for the mention of my Fritz and Franz jig for cutting that taper. Excellent work on improving the dust collection. Keep up the great work.
I must get lonely and talking to myself not only helps with that, but also keeps me focused. 😁 I sometimes have good answers, but if I start arguing with myself, I know it's time to take a break!🤪 Thanks David!
I also have a newer Delta 14" bandsaw with riser block that I purchased in 2002. This is a great addition. I do see one drawback though. I think the new dust cover will need to be removed if the bandsaw table needs to be tilted to the right for angled cuts. Fortunately, the lower door clip will still hold the door closed. I hope you kept the door knob, so that you can open the lower door easily for wheel access to vacuum out sawdust that the 4" port may have left behind.
Good point about angled cuts. This is one reason that I made it with magnets....simple on/off. And since the magnets were strategically placed, I can move the table to make angled cuts and the shroud simply needs moved downwards...it still "snaps" tightly in place, even at 45°. The lower door is still easy to open by grabbing at the opening, but that is just to WOW myself to see that there isn't any dust left behind...it works that well! Thanks for watching
Perfect timing
I have an old Jet 14" bandsaw (so old, it's blue, not white) original owner. I keep it around to compliment my 18-inch Jet ,with full intentions on making it a well dialed in machine for small blade use. (It's on my list) I hit the switch a couple days ago & one of the original tires fell right off. I guess it's time to hit Amazon for some Carter products..
I too, like the addition of a smaller 14" band saw to compliment a large saw. Thanks for checking out the vid!
Nice! I’ve been meaning to move mine down. The person who modded mine put the port up at the top (maybe for flow?) but it all collects at the bottom. I like your diversion box idea.
Diversion box! I like that name. I planned on adding a 2 1/2” port at the box but seriously….does not need it! Thanks man!
Nicely done! I will try your shroud idea on my 14” Grizzly. Great Video!
It works really well!
Thanks, and good timing. I pickup 14 inch rigid bandsaw that was abused and am currently replacing the upper guides, switch, and 3/4 hp motor.
Nice! That'll be a fun project. 14" bandsaws are so useful! thanks
I've been watching the machinists using coolant when cutting. I've been thinking of adding compressed air on the blades to clean them and aid in dust collection.
That could certainly work. I like to think of capturing as much dust as possible via vacuum to mitigate too much dust in the air. This 4" port did the trick here. I dig it! Anyway, thanks for checking out the vid!
Wow! Ive been waiting for this video since I purchased the same Delta new, +20 years ago. Thanks for this. Also thanks for showing how easy it is to mod the doors, etc. I thought I had to go to a machine shop or something.
Great to hear that you liked! And yeah, pretty simple modifications that make a huge difference! I'm not sure I mentioned it in the video, but the large diameter hole saws need to be ran quite slowly and with little pressure. Cheers
@@ramonartful Awesome great to know!!
Never miss one of your videos...thanks again!
Same here.
That is great to hear and inspires me to keep making em! Much thanks
Ramon - just found your channel. Good vid - i have the same saw! Delta flubbed on this aspect to otherwise a decent prodcut. Been meaing to do a shroud-dust port, etc, but i've been using a different bandsaw . After the next project is done, i'm now re-inspired to fix this problem. Well done.
Great to hear! I made the shroud with the intention to add another dust port to it. But with the 4” down below, I was pleasantly surprised that it didn’t need it! I’m loving it. Cheers
@@ramonartful yes, don't think the extra port has to be added either. love these older machines, but not to convinced that dust collection was on the engineer's top-list to incorporate. collector in the bottom wheel was the ticket. also added a small, high intensity mag lite to mine too. (see you added illumination). Easy to rotate to what-ever line of site. Keep up good vids - i subscribed.
Great video Ramon and exceptional techniques, you make it look easy lol
Thank you! It was a pretty straight forward process...I did use a bit of cardboard to get things right!
The rivets look better than tappers would have. 👍👍
Yes. Hope he put some silicone or gasket material there. Seems he thought of everything else 😁
Funny thing...as I was editing the video, I couldn't remember as to why I didn't use screws. Probably to eliminate the sharp points sticking inside...although those could be dealt with. But I like the rivets too. Cheers
Ha ha...I didn't! It could use that probably. In my next life...if I remember! thanks
Another great video Ramon. Thanks man!
Hey! Thank you. Glad to hear that
Great project! I think I’ll try it on my 14-inch. Thanks for sharing!
It is a great project with excellent reward! Thanks for watching
Excellent work! I don’t understand how you managed without a 3d scanner and printer😂
Thanks! I would probably use those a ton! Even though I love the "hands on" process of building something. Cheers
Nice Idea, but you have beautiful writing, were you a tech. drafter, or designer. I think both. Very nice.
Thank you! It’s a funny thing…three of my brothers write like this…all very similar. Probably from years of reading blueprints.
Just curious, is there a reason that you didn’t put the dust port on the back instead of the front? It seems like you might have to lean over the port and hose to make your cuts.
Great minds think alike! Initially, that was my intention. However, the back portion is solid cast iron, which wouldn't be impossible (and a good place if created at the factory, I think) Also, there's a belt guard that would be in the way. Where it's located now is fine...the hose is left of the blade by about 7" but flexible and turns immediately...so it's well out of the way when cutting. Thanks for watching!
Favorite magnet source?
I’ve tried a bunch and realize that not all neodymium magnets are creates equal! My only source is KJ Magnetics. No affiliation, btw. They’re just well made. Other brands crack easily. All rare earth magnets can crack but these are fantastic! Cheers
@@ramonartful Thanks for the tip. I recommend your channel to any woodworkers I know. You should have a million subscribers. Quality is always excellent.
Have to add another comment. Your number one tip of all time which displaces the previous number one "plastics" (line from The graduate-1967 Dustin Hoffman, Anne Bancroft etal).Your use of magnets to hold your pencil to your chest. Changed my life.Finally no more broken lead in pockets, place it anywhere you want, no look placement, use it on any shirt. Brilliant.
@@Mark-jd1fr Ha! Thanks! I got tired of ruining my shirts...and I always had to use both hands to clip/unclip my pencils. 20 plus years ago I started using magnets for my pencils...took me a bit to dial in the size that I like. 1/8" thick x 1/2" round works. Anyway, thanks for the good words!
@@Mark-jd1fr That is so great to hear...thanks a lot
