Popular Post JohnG Posted May 9, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 Harnessing my inner Thomas Johnson to do some light restoration (mostly just cleaning) of a new bed frame for our daughter. The head and footboard are nice quality and condition solid hardwood. The canopy parts needed the most cleanup. Used steel wool and the oil/wax like TJ often does, and it did a great job. All of the parts looked like the one on the right before I started. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Chestnut Posted May 10, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 Finished the woodworking side of the card box. At some point it'll get a sprayed finish (probably brown) and w ill have cards written on it. Not to bad for my first hand cut dovetails. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mark J Posted May 10, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 My scrap wood box has been overflowing for a while now, so I spent some time going through it. I did find half a dozen pieces to toss, which is fine... really... I'm sure the shaking will stop soon. Maybe I just need another box. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post wtnhighlander Posted May 11, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 I really, REALLY, need to remember to do this before milling day on the next project.... Between the DC blower and the DW735 blower, the collection bag was packed tighter than a summer sausage. Chips were piled up about 1/3 of the filter bag. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Coop Posted May 12, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Ross, due to the mass produced by the 735 and the fact that has an excellent blower, I no longer send my 735 chips to the dc. My wife sewed a twin sized sheet into a sock/tube. One end is open and the other stitched to accept a 4” x 6’ flex hose from Rockler, attached to the hose with a zip tie. The open end is partially folded around a 1x1 stick, held in place by a spring clamp. I empty it after each use before storing it under the planer. It sure makes for less cleaning of the dc. But, it looks like you have less cleaning down to a science! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 When it comes to milling, I miss working in the garage. Then, I could just roll the planer out on the driveway and let the prevailing winds take care of the chips.

Mark J Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Since we're talking about cleaning filters I'll ask this. I have a large pleated HEPA canister filter on my P-Flux DC, and it's time to clean it out again. I remember this was a big pain last summer, with multiple methods yielding poor results. My vague (but only vague) recollection is that I ended up washing it out in the yard with a garden hose. Is it exceptable to flush these filters with water, or us that a bad idea?

drzaius Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Some are meant to be washed, but those that aren't will be ruined by it. Check with the manufacturer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that you should wash it with water. It depends on the filter type as Frank said. Even if it's spun fiberglass I'm not sure that washing with water is a good thing. If your pleated filter is the paper type you never will get it completely clean but that's ideal. The particulates that build up in the filter help increase the overall filtration. It's at the cost of airflow but this should be accounted for in the design of the collector. The period of this is called seasoning and you may have read references to it before. If you washed a paper filter it may well be ruined. If it's working now i wouldn't wash it again. My method for cleaning the filter is a leaf blower. Take it outside and blow in 1 end and out the other. Compressed air blowing from the outside in is another way to help loosen material. The goal is to remove the large buildups of dust not necessarily make it look "new" again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Wynn nano on my DC and I "think" it's water-washable but I have achieved good enough results just tapping it and blowing it out (carefully) with compressed air.

Our woodworking filters are cleaned-down from the outside with about 60 PSI of compressed air. Just use your blow-off nozzle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
