    I built my downdraft table today. A very good project. Instead of MDF I used scrap 1/2 cabinet grade plywood. It came out really good.
    Thanks for your post. Tomorrow I’ll build the auxiliary sides. Thanks again!

    Thanks for this awesome video. I want to incorporate this idea into a space-saver workbench for my tiny basement shop. I think this will work right under the miter saw station as sort of it's "floor", giving this spot three uses. I have a lot of engineering to do before actually making this bench a reality but hopefully it will work out.

    Great video! What brand unit are you using over your table saw blade that is attached to a 2.5 inch house. Does that hose go to a shop vac and do you have a 4 inch hose for your table saw going to another vac? I ask because I want to make my shop more air friendly.
    Thank you!

    Brad, thanks for your design and video. I have been reading about these types of tables and how efficient they are. Some have suggested that they need a very high CFM like 1200 to catch fine dust from a rather small, under 2 square foot surface. May I ask if you are still happy with the efficiency of your design and what is the CFM of your collector. Thank you for considering my question.

  • @SeanOfEarth
    @SeanOfEarth 7 лет назад +1

    Very nice. I'm interested to know how well a tight, wire mesh would work as a top surface. My concern would be how level and flat it is, and if allowing that much air through would reduce the suction too much. Having no dust build up between vents would be nice though.
    How easily does saw dust sweep into the holes?

    • @Fixthisbuildthat
      @Fixthisbuildthat  7 лет назад +2

      I think it would have too much give to it and not enough air resistance as you mention. Interesting idea though.

  • @markw3598
    @markw3598 5 лет назад +2

    My wife keeps asking me "Why can't you just make it the way the video shows", I guess I'm just crazy. I built it (almost) just like yours, but I also put a removable plexiglass sheet across the whole top and made the walls a bit higher, that way all the dust really has to stay in the box and it focuses the intake air to enter from the front, a couple of small holes near the back of the glass also force feeds the intake of air to help the downdraft to be balanced.

    I would be curious to see what happens if you throw a handful of sawdust across the bow of this thing. Might be a better representation of how well it works. This is a nice build, lots of fine details that make it worth using and building. Thanks for sharing this, Subscribed!

    • @Fixthisbuildthat
      @Fixthisbuildthat  6 лет назад +1

      Thanks for the sub, Dave! I think the fine dust outline is the best representation. The size of dust particles that this is meant for is not the type you have on your shop floor. It's the small stuff that floats up into the air and into your lungs...yuck

    • @robertknowles3677
      @robertknowles3677 5 лет назад

      @@Fixthisbuildthat For me I would expect the downdraft to suck up most of what is getting shot off the piece and out of the orbital. I have dc bag and a connector for a dust collection system. I have not used the dust collection port yet with my DC system. My dc system is just sitting there not hooked up to any pvc or anything. I did not make any pvc runs yet. I have used my makita track saw and a hose going to the dc and it works great. Now, with the fact that I can hookup an orbital to the dc and I wear a mask and have a respirator if i want to go overkill on sanding with an orbital, i would hope that the extra downdraft would pretty much eliminate dust almost 100%. If it can only get the fine stuff that can get in your lungs if you are not wearing protection, the I would still have to vacuum up the area after even a few pieces of sanding. I have been thinking about building a downdraft but if it only collects 15 to 20% of the dust and I still have to do a cleanup or the area looks very messy, then the idea of a downdraft is not sounding too good.

  • @harrisiqbal957
    @harrisiqbal957 4 года назад

    General question. Orbital sanders and discs have holes in them. They also have dust collection attachments. I just connect my shop vac hose directly to the orbital sander and it sucks thru the holes. What is the point/benefit of building this downdraft table compared with that? Thanks

  • @paddlepower888

  • @endeen9274
    @endeen9274 7 лет назад

    I love your downdraft table. Just wonder if you think it might suit my needs. I make resin clocks on mdf round bases. I cut the mdf rounds with a jigsaw and sand both mdf and resin. At the moment I can sand outside and hose the sanded dust into the garden. I am moving into a unit soon and will most likely have to setup in a bedroom (converted to workspace). Dust and sound will be concerns. Can I use a regular vacuum cleaner (with their smaller hoses/tubes)?

    • @Fixthisbuildthat

    Brad- Thanks for another great video! I noticed your SuperMax 19-38 and have been lusting over one. Have you found that you use it more than anticipated? Do some cabinetry but mostly smaller projects. See you don't have the extension tables on, probably the way I'd run it most of the time. Any comments? Thanks!

    • @Fixthisbuildthat
      @Fixthisbuildthat  7 лет назад

      Thanks, Jerry! I use the drum sander a ton when I'm doing cutting boards and resawing. Goes in waves for me, but this one replaced a Performax I already had so I knew it would get good use. I keep the tables off just for ease of storage against the wall.

    • @JerInCrik

  • @wesleywelcomer3994
    @wesleywelcomer3994 7 лет назад +1

    I'm using a Craftsman 5.0 Peak HP shop vac and I'm not really getting any suction from it. Do you think I need a stronger shop vac, or is there something else that is likely the cause? I've caulked around all the inner seams and I don't seem to have any leaks.

    • @Fixthisbuildthat
      @Fixthisbuildthat  7 лет назад

      +Wesley Welcomer hey, Wesley! Did you make it the same size or did you go bigger? I never tested it with a shop vac, but you probably need more suction or a smaller box. I don't know what the cfm output of a shop vac typically is but I think close to 100. My dust collector is closer to 1000. So that's a huge difference.

    • @jccapwell
      @jccapwell 3 года назад +1

      I had the same observation. My solution was to use a thicker piece of plywood as the incline and then add three internal vertical spaced supports which just came in contact with the pegboard. If a lack of thicker plywood is an issue, then simply run supports below the inclined plywood and the install spaced vertical supports for the pegboard.

  • @deerjohn253
    @deerjohn253 3 года назад

    Nice looking unit. From a safety point of view, it seems counterintuitive to hold the stock, with your left hand, against the chop saw fence while reaching across with your right hand to pull the blade down to make the cut. I can't think of a good reason to do that. In my shop we call the blade the "wheel of death", as a constant reminder of its deadly potential. I know there is an integrated guard, but slivers of material can get jammed inside and potentially defeat the mechanism. Whatever the reason for using this technique, there are other ways to make those cuts.
