wdwerker Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 I'm jealous of the new DC as well. Don/ Particleboard was a member who owned a commercial cabinet shop. He mentioned dropping his dentures and listening to them bang and rattle all the way through the pipes. He mentioned it so casually I have no doubt it happened. The reaction on the Forum was hilarious and it got repeated every time someone was discussing dust collectors, thus a legend was born.

Chet Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 Hey Nut, Was just looking back through this and was looking at almost the perfect spot you have for the DC. What, in the house's design brought about that little dust collector alcove? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking more of a shop Tuatara, wiki it they are cool but never going to happen. 43 minutes ago, Chet said: Hey Nut, Was just looking back through this and was looking at almost the perfect spot you have for the DC. What, in the house's design brought about that little dust collector alcove? This is difficult to explain so I'll draw instead. The previous owners (origional) had something specific in mind with the house and had a custom layout done up. My shop is below the laundry front entrance kitchen dining/living area. The typical plan for the area would have the dining living area a split up from the kitchen entrance level. They wanted all of that 1 level. Instead of having an 800 sq foot crawlspace they made it basement for storage. The way the garage laundry area is designed it leaves an odd space in the foundation. Despite being a bit odd the house is well designed and very well built. The kitchen dining living is 10 foot ceilings my shop has 8.5 foot ceilings and only the bedroom split area is at 8 feet.

It reminds me of the Kubota RTV without the drawbacks of the Kubota, mostly the awful hydro-static transmission that was either hugely torque anemic and really slow or so slow it wasn't moving but kinda had torque. That being said except for the read hubs being designed poorly in tandem with the terrible transmission they were built like a brick pooper. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chestnut Posted November 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Like i may have said previously i got all the drops connected. I have pictures now. I took a few examples from another forum member that angled his tools slightly to get better positioning and maintain infeed and outfeed space. I ran the planer for about an hour cleaning up material I plan to use for an outfeed table. During that hour the planer still liked to vomit larger chips out both ends making a mess. This could have been because i had all 4 gates open and the pressure in the system wasn't as high as it should have been. After milling i went to check the collector and noticed that it was a bit warmer in the corner than the rest of the shop. I think i may have been feeding it too much air because the motor was warm around 95 ish degrees based off comparison to my forehead. Tonight i might pop open my electrical panel and stick an amp meter on the sub to see how much draw I'm getting. I'll then play with gates and try and use that as a measure of how much air i should be feeding the system. I still need to hook up my router table drop but i REALLY am sick of cutting PVC pipe. So for now I'll use my HF dc on the router table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwacked Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 If you don’t mind me asking ... around how much did just the pvc/fittings/hose cost for your setup? I guess basically everything but the DC lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 I don't have any were near the same DC setup you have Nut, smaller unit and 4 inch instead of 6 inch, but I have come to the conclusion that the fan in the Dewalt 735 blows so hard that some of the chips just get blown around inside and escape. No scientific information to back this though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess basically everything but the DC lol. I used 8 10' 6 IN SDR35 sewer pipes.

A very very large amount of frustration. For those that are curious the Oneida 3hp Pro Unit with remote, 35gal bin, stand, a reducer for the inlet, and $99 shipping was $2,610 Edited December 29, 2017 by Chestnut Added metal duct cost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirNot Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 2 quick questions- Why silicone to fit them and not PVC glue to make them permanent? Why 6 inch pipe and not 4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that PJ882 on the stock powermatic base or something else? No it's sitting on an HTC PM2500. I knew I'd move it around until it found a home and the it'd sit so i didn't bother getting anything stronger. It's not quite stout enough to move the machine reliably and you need the extension rail kit to make it work. 49 minutes ago, SirNot said: 2 quick questions- Why silicone to fit them and not PVC glue to make them permanent? Why 6 inch pipe and not 4? Silicone because it offers a seal but isn't permanent. I can scrape the gunk off and still pull the joints apart if i need to. 6" was even a stretch my first run from the collector to the table saw wye should have really been 7". To more specifically answer the question 4" ductwork is really only big enough to flow 700 ish CFM this collector is rated closer to 1500. 6" pipe starts getting heavy losses in the 1300 CFM range. This is just from memory for way more information than you'll ever need go to Bill Pentz's website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
