Dust Collector Pressure and Suction. A discussion of basic pressure-balancing and air-sealing issues in a small shop dust collection system. June 28, 2007. I have an 1100 cfm Jet dust collector (with cartridge filter and cleaning handle on top). I also have a 20 gallon garbage can type separator with one of those inexpensive plastic things on
Dust Collection: Add a Stage to Improve Performance. No matter how well-designed your dust collection system, the filters in shop vacs get caked with dust and the bags or canisters on dust collectors fill up. When this happens, your dust collection machines have to work harder, even as suction decreases. Then you have to stop working to clean
Oct 08, 2018 Bought a Craftex 1053 1 HP dust collector and want to increase suction. Will a pleated filter help? I thought it would have more suction. What kind of equipment can I get to test suction? 4 answers Kelli L. Milligan on Oct 08, 2018 1 HP is not very strong, keep filters clean
Dec 17, 2012 Enter the pleated filter, which can pack hundreds of square feet of surface area into a small canister. That lets you get much finer filtration without killing airflow/suction. If you are in the market for a dust collector or shop vacuum
May 22, 2017 Epoxy one of the strips to the perimeter of the dust collector where shown, and sew the mating strip to the inside of the bag. Now, when you reinstall the bag, the hook-and-loop strips hold it securely in place while you tighten the band clamp. To keep the adhesion secure, vacuum the dust off the hook-and-loop strips from time to time
Nov 06, 2021 STEPS. 1. The dust collector build started with a stock 2hp single phase Harbor Freight dust collector. To seamlessly connect to the Super Dust Deputy XL I’m going to upgrade the impeller. The stock blower can’t push enough air to support a 6″ opening. I removed the impeller using a puller tool. 2
Oct 07, 2016 Table saw dust collection upgrade #3 - Fill the gaps. The majority of the gaps around the saw should be closed in to help concentrate the suction to around the blade and help keep dust from escaping. You don't want to fill every gap and make your saw air tight otherwise you will starve your dust collector of air and lessen your dust collection

Jan 19, 2021 My goals are to improve the chip separation, fine dust filtration and over all suction. 1) I have been doing some research on Thien baffles and built one for my shopvac to play around with. It seems to work well but the suction loss was about 30%, understand that suction loss is normal when running through a baffle or cyclone
Jun 21, 2016 Through the design and placement of hoods, selection of a fan based on the range of system static pressures, and the balancing of the system your dust collection systems may not be perfect but they will function a lot better. Properly designed, operated, and maintained dust collection systems can provide effective dust capture for decades
Jun 24, 2018 Luckily, the suction of Rockler’s Dust Right can vastly improve the air quality in your shop and keep those 600 million fleshy air sacs of yours working as Mother Nature intended. And the fact that Dust Right hangs on the wall, out of the way, addresses another “huge” issue – that there’s never enough room, no matter how large your shop

To properly size your dust collector, you NEED to know your CFM requirements and at what Static Pressure your system will be operating . Use the CFM and Static Pres-sure to compare the performance of your dust collector . The dust collector performance ratings should show that at your given Static Pressure, the CFM it will provide . 1
Oct 10, 2013 That is what we are doing with our dust collector. You need a big pipe, big volume. Once the dust escapes the port, it is gone. If you increase your duct size your DC motor will appear to slow down. This is because it is moving more air. Depending on your DC, this could cause an overload in the motor, especially if your motor is 110 volt
Dec 27, 2011 As I recall, the industry standard for wood working dust collection recommends at least 400CFM airflow in order to collect and suspend dust and debris in a ducted system. This requirement can barely be met with a 4” duct system—and it is not possible to attain that airflow in a 2 1/2” system with a typical woodshop DC.It is astounding how even a larger system like the
Oct 12, 2021 A dust separator and dust cyclone remove the heavier waste and allow the cleaner airflow to go through your dust collection system without taking its toll on the motor and filter. That means you get a cleaner and longer running
Brad, our Mini-Gorilla dust collector could easily meet that requirement and you could use 5 flex hose or ducting with your setup - whatever works best for your shop's layout. I highly recommend you reach out to one of our technical sales reps if you're looking to purchase ductwork, a ductwork design, and/or a dust collector from Oneida Air
Sep 16, 2020 If your dust collector has a suction port of 8”, run that diameter as long as possible before reducing the diameter to match it to the port of your machinery. Y-Bends Are Best. If bends are necessary, using gradual bends are best. Sharp bends disturb airflow, creating more static pressure resistance and reduce airflow
Apr 18, 2012 It is important to balance the size of pipe with the CFM capabilities of your dust collector. 3″ isn’t great, but it is world’s better than 3/4″ (I have never come across anything that skinny before on a table saw!). If you are able to upgrade to a more powerful dust collector, then go with a bigger pipe and dust port at the tool
