Popular Post pkinneb Posted December 30, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 Replaced the window and door trim in my shop and prepped for paint tomorrow. I saw this in another shop and really liked the look. Mine was pretty bad becuase apparently 15 years ago I had no idea how to install trim lol Before (ignore the gaps ): After: I also had some rot on the door trim so this time I left it up off the floor 1/4" and coated the bottom 8" with a coat of epoxy. Oh and I made a paper towel holder 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhighlander Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 @pkinneb, I have the same trim in my shed shop, but mine is red oak salvaged from a friend's house. He was stripping away all the previous owner's 1980s red oak. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I have the patients to go back and forth a million times and lay on the floor for hours getting the gaps perfect. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post pkinneb Posted December 30, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 Today I got the window trim primed and painted the wall I put up a while back Tomorrow I hope to finish the trim, roll a quick top coat on the wall, and start to get this mess cleaned up. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 Ok, so everyone but me apparently knows as no one has asked. What is the big yellow ell for? In a previous pic it looked like it had a pleated filter but for what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 @Coop, I'm going out on a limb, and guessing that is return air for a DC that lives in the other room. I see duct in the photos, but no collector. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had I to do over again I would have run it out the back of the shop into a cabinet but at the time I was worried about having it outside the conditioned (heat /air) space.

Coop Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 Return air? Obviously I’m no where near an HVAC guy. I have a mobile, stand alone HF system and it has no return air. But I do understand that air going out has to have air coming in which from mine, comes from the tools it’s connected to? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post gee-dub Posted January 1, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 I added a pre-switch outlet to my drill press and my small bandsaw. Now I can use and change lights without having to run another cord back to the wall. Tap in before the switch. Drill a hole to fit a rubber bushing. Use the existing wiring harness path. Ta-da. Same, same for the bandsaw. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 @Coop, my recent switch to external venting of the DC is a perfect illustration of just how much 'return air' is needed. If I don't open a window for external air to enter, the 1.5 hp DC will pull the shop door open as it pulls air out of the room. Paul's DC must return the filtered air to the room from which it was removed to avoid a similar situation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 So, if I didn’t have a filter and a bag and discharged directly outside like @RichardAdoes, then I get better suction/vacuum, ie., better dust collection? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't speak for Rick, but collection at my tablesaw seems improved. Biggest gain is that ALL the collected fines go outside, where bag filters return a lot into the room. Downside is that outside air is needed to replace what the DC sucks out, which negates most of whatever climate controls your shop might have. Working in the draft of an open window when temps are below freezing kinda sucks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 Thanks Ross. Used Rick as an example as I have seen his setup. Probably better utilized in the country than in the city, depending on your relationship with your neighbors! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 Mine uses a Thien baffle "top hat" to collect chips. All that goes outside is so fine as to be invisible. Unless I fail to empty the chip can.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardA Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 Talking about me behind my back huh? The disadvantage of my DC dumping the fines outside is simply that in the winter when I use it, the heated air gets sucked out as well. So I really don't spend a lot of winter time with the DC running. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
