Dust collection down

I do. I can lend the space this one instead.


Let me know if the space is interested? I’m taking the Delta with me. The Grizzly is a 1hp. This can be a stop gap till the big dust collector arrives

Yikes. I knew that 1HP- it was much less than half what we are using. At least the one they sold some years ago.

Is the one at the space a 2hp?

2HP plus the impeller upgrade by the table saw. The one on the CNC is 2hp but the stock impeller

I will come by and look at the delta to see if it is an option.

Not sure if you saw @cfstaley’s post already, but those problem QR codes actually all go to the same form, so you can use any of them anywhere to report any problem you come across.

The delta is a 1.5hp. I forgot I have a Jet 2 hp 115/230v one. I will remove the motor and drop it off. I’m not sure I can get to it before I leave town though

Can you just bring the whole jet, ? We don’t want to fuss with swapping motors. We Will run two dust collectors again for a little while

Jon and I connected your delta DC to planer, joiner and table saw

The impeller is not balanced on this setup

I brought over my motor and it won’t work. The motor shaft is a different size.

I have a dust collector I’m not using till Jan 8. I will drop it off. Only thing is it uses 220v. I will wire it to the Grizzly bandsaw plug. It will take out the Grizzly for the time being. This a stop gap till we figure something or the big dust collector arrives.

The dust collection system is back up. It uses the same remote as the cnc router. I forgot to check which blast gate we should leave open. I assume the table saw. Someone please check that.

After playing with the one that is down. I realize we should have not frankensteined it and gotten a 220v model. I have the luxury of hindsight.

Out of curiosity what is the model of the “new collector.” I am new to the space and will primarily use the woodshop. I am not sure how shop upgrades are discussed and paid for but Id love to help (donate money and time) to an upgrade. A nice 3-5 hp Cyclone would be :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes: If something is already on order great, if not let me know what I can do to help.

The new collector is a T-Flux 5. We ordered it along with the new laser in November and have been trying to limp the old one along until the new one comes in. We were given an ETA of mid-January at the time; we asked about shipping updates this week and haven’t heard back yet.

Should the drum sander be connected? Looks like the pipe is off.

It should be, if it isn’t. yesterday the drum sander line got borrowed for the table saw, but Joe put in a second collector for the table and miter saws. the sander line can go back on the sander.

I’ll be in this afternoon and will check it out

We should still totally build the Harvey horizontal dust separator clone anyways.

The one thing that the DIY guy, and the original Harvey for that matter, didn’t take advantage of- and it baffles me- is that the steel impellers aren’t all that efficient. By placing the air mover after the separator, and a screen to guarantee a fault condition won’t feed debris into it, then it no longer has to be that type of debris-tolerant impeller which isn’t an optimum type for moving air. The air should be pretty clean by that point.

Thank you!

Bad A$$ I stoked for this and will totally help set it up and run ducting.
