Demonstration: • Homemade Cyclone Vacuu...
Building a highly efficient cyclone that can be used either to go along a shop vac to keep the kartrige filter clean or as demonstrated in the video to turn a cenventional vacuum cleaner into a shop vac.
Fun Fact: Festool straight out copied my system for their Festool CT Vorabscheider CT-VA-20.
You never cease to amaze me Cosmas. You are the epitome of German ingenuity. I enjoy watching and learning from you. Keep up the unselfishness. As soon as my workshop is presentable, i too will share the little knowledge i have in woodworking. Thanks dude!
Nice. I have seen many made, but I think yours is the easiest by using the PVC pipe. I really like the way you showed the pantarouter and the common way to cut the hole. I will be using the common method. Thanks again. I will try again
Festool really found its way into your workshop
yes, they make very good stuff.
Good job on this build. Very good methods and use of tools!
Interesting approach. May have to poke at something like that in my shop.
Great worksmanship and technique. I bought one of these things from Rockler.com and it really works well.
I particularly liked the part where the builder paid no attention whatsoever to workplace rules like drilling into a piece of wood with his hand on the other side, routing with his hands holding the part, using his fingers to guide a part an inch from the bandsaw blade, jigsawing using his hand and stomach to support the part. Hope he has a good medical plan because I would be missing fingers and other body parts.
Thanks for the kind words :)
In the USA we have OSHA workplace rules which is a good thing but they overdo and employers send jobs to China to protect themselves from excess costs, lawsuits & fines for infractions caused by them or their employees. Add other bureaucratic costs imposed on them, restrictions on who they must employ and how they must employ them, etc. and manufacturers can't fight the economic forces arrayed against them here. The present pseudo-Free Trade regime also hurts & Fair Trade will work no better. Perhaps Equal Trade enforced by automatic tax penalties & no deductions would work better.
Politicians & bureaucrats have few restraints against their behavior and willfulness and chose to do whatever suits them at any particular time regardless of who it ultimately hurts. I hope your medical costs can be alleviated to some degree.
As far as Mr Cosmas is concerned, I admire anyone who can improve his standard of living by making & fixing things himself.
Nice craftsmanship
superb video. in-depth explanation . thanks for your great work.
Wow! Great Build! Just Fantastic!
Very professional, great job,
I enjoyed your video. Great job!
Great work and video as usual! Thanks for sharing!
super execution!!!
Great Project, very well done... Something you might want to consider for next time is to drill holes in your Exit Pipe rather then cut a rectangle like you did. You could drill smaller holes and a bit for more of them but drilling holes allows for a stronger tail piece to hold the baffle. It just seems to me that time will cause your baffle to bend down or perhaps break off.
I really do like your design and it's one of the best DIY I've viewed, and I think I've viewed them all or at the very least 95% of all on RUclips... I've seen other builds that just seemed as if they took 3 times the longer way to accomplish their task that it almost made me think perhaps this is not for me. Your design as renewed my spirit to make one for myself...
wow!! golden hands!!!!
muy ingenioso te felicito. Es lo más práctico que vi. Gracias por mostrar tus inventos
you make that look waaaaaaayy too easy :)
if I left all my goof ups in the video it would be at least an hour long :D
Excellent work
Could you show a little more detail on the placement of the notched outlet pipe and inner ring, didn't quite understand the orientation of them to the inlet side pipe.
Thanks
Excelente projeto, já está em meus favoritos para a fabricação de uma unidade
Fantastic. great job well done. very innovative. thanks for sharing
Saubere Arbeit ! SUPER Video
Dangä :)
really nice! Do you think there is difference with the "cone" style cyclone? I´m having a hard time finding some cone plastic/pvc, your method looks easier, although time consuming, but well made.
Very well thought of design. Did do a proper plan of this one before starting this project?
Hi Cosmas nice work, what is the position/height of the baffle in relation to the inlet pipe? Is there a definitive relationship that makes the cyclone better or worse?Thanks.....phil
The 'box' that you inserted the collector bucket into, could be extended, and the cyclone device mounted directly onto the box, thereby eliminating the bucket.
then you have to take the whole thing to the dumpster to dump it. The bucket solves that problem.
@@MarkJonesRanger
No you dont, all you do is put a plastic bag in the box as a receiver, then lift the plastic bag out and dispose.
@@niklar55 Good point. I empty mine about every week. I have never used the plastic bags. A box of trash bags isn't that expensive and the mess would be less just pulling the bags tight instead of dumping the bucket or dumpster (with planner chips in it) in the dumpster. I have a ring on the dust deputy barrel and all the stuff comes in from the top. I may try that trash bag thing. It's pretty easy now to just dump the barrel and not fiddle with the bags. Yet it would be less dusty to use the bags.
@@MarkJonesRanger
It takes a lazy man......😉
If you have the bucket, just put the bag in the bucket, roll the edges over the bucket and assemble.
I have a 4'' Vac, with just a bag, but holding the bag in place, and then trying to fit the ring clamp around it with one hand...., damn difficult so that's due for a mod. I'll probably use something like reinforcing mesh, to make a simple cage for the bag to sit in.
Very nice work. A couple of questions: What kind of pipe did you use for the main body of the separator? Do you get much find dust back into the vacuum with your baffle setup? Thanks.
It is 1 50mm PVC pipe. Almost no dust gets into the vacuum cleaner.
Thanks. I was referring to the very large orange pipe that makes the body of the cyclone. It appears to be be may 8 to 10 inches in diameter. Is that PVC or some other material? Is it generally available at a home center store? Thanks again for a very cool project. It looks very efficient.
YOU ARE FUCKING AMAZING!
Hi cosmas, great channel!
Any plans on making an air cleaning unit?
Would be nice to see a unit made with easy to get parts (in europe). Enough videos on RUclips but cant get Some of the parts here. Keep it up man!
gssns Thanks!Not really because I don't have space in the shop.
Magnifico trabajo.
nicely edited. Are you going to build bigger cyclone one day?
Tiit Saul maybe in some years from now.
That's cool man, how long did that take you?
I'm wondering...how well would this handle chalk dust? My work assignment has a lot of chalkboads due to the building housing the math departments, and this would save time for me cleaning out the chalk trays.
¡Congratulations Cosmas b and thank you VM for sharing!. I'll probe your method. but I have a question: ¿ What ít is the power of engine vacumm 1/2 HP and RPM?. Thanks . Best Regards from Cordoba Argentina
No, Argentina South America, and you?
So did the cyclone keep all of the sawdust in the can? Pretty cool set up!
whitewolf8758 yes.
How do you end-screw into plywood without pre-drilling without splitting the hole?
Wouldnt bigger diameter pipe be better for suction..???
Xyz
Hi. Where did you get the barrel? I looked but cannot find one. What type is it? Thank you for helping me out.
Perfect! That's that i'm gonna make :) Now, what is the diameter of that pipe? 160 or 200mm? Btw, great channel! Thanks, Andrej
andromedar1977 Cool! 200mm
Did I hear you say "homemade table saw"? If so, do you have details on how you made it?
Hey Cosmas ,, Where have You bought the blue steel barral :-)
What kind of pipe did you use for the main cyclone? . It is the large diameter brown pipe I am asking about
Where did you get the big orange tubing. What is it called?
what is the purpose for such a contraption?
why do you use a baffle?am I just dense?I have a cyclone using a design similar to the dust deputy with no baffle
Excellent! Laik, subscription.
any link for the drum you use with the lever lock?
how long is the outlet pipe?
hola amigo felicitaciones y sigue publicando mas videos podrias enviarme los planos para fabricar una para mi gracias
Todo bien pero seria bueno publique las medidas de casa cosa por favor
👍👍👍
Crocs and socks, bruh!
OSB ist nicht gerade geeignet, da das Luftduchlässig ist!!!. Durch das Plexiglas, wird es zwar dicht, hätte dennoch Multiplex genommen. Ansonsten tolle Sache.👍😁
Sehr gut erkannt. Durch das Plexiglas wird es abgedichtet. Allerdings würde die Durchlässigkeit bei dem Druck und dem Luftvolumen keine Rolle spielen. Das macht sich erst bei Vakuumaufspanngeschichten bemerkbar.
io volevo fare un aspira polvere per la unghia
VETRRY GOOD
Why do people paint these sorts of projects? They look so much better natural.
As well as changing the appearance, paint protects the surface it's applied to. Raw wood looks and smells good in the beginning but it pretty much absorbs any liquid you might spill on it, causing stains. Did you notice the top of his more well-worn wokbenches? I've done plenty of projects on my 3/4" ply benches that look really nice when first installed, but stains, burns, cuts, dents and accidental drill holes begin to appear quickly, eventually making recovering needed (or wanted). I have bare plywood covering some walls, and over the years there is a lot of unsightly stains and grime in general. Can't wash the stuff, but I could primer and paint over the stains; or I could have done that when I first put up the walls and I could now wash them.
Now that collectors have been proven to be simple and inexpensive and compact.......WHY DO THE SHOP VAC MANUFACTURERS NOT INTEGRATE THEM INTO THEIR VACUUMS? This seems like a no brainer to me. First manufacturer to do this will sell bunches of them.......
+JIMMY TATE They probably make more from filters.
+Joseph C That would be my guess too I just gave up $23 USD for one.
