I’ve watched a number of videos on YouTube concerning the making of DIY dust removal systems, employing a centrifugal fan and cyclone to remove dust and chips from woodworking machines. Given the Costs associated with buying ready-made dust collection systems, and having a few motors at my disposal (from old disassembled 240v woodworking machines), I am now in the process of designing the centrifugal fan on my drawing board, and will be experimenting with a prototype build of the fan extractor and cyclone in the near future…
Are there any people out there who have experience of building a DIY dust collection system - in particular a centrifugal fan and cyclone unit…?? I would interested in hearing your experiences with them.
Unfortunately I haven’t any experience in building one but I’m in the same boat as you, i’ve watched a lot of clips and how-to’s and i’m Interested in building one for myself in the near future.
Hopefully I should get the keys to my new house (and workshop!) by the end of the month, so after a few months of settling in I will be looking to start one for myself. I’ll let you know if I do, and in the meantime any tips or updates on yours would be appreciated, and of course anyone else that has any experience with this.
Hi, Barry… I would certainly be interested in getting this if you still have it… I know Watford, I was actaully born and raised in Abbots Langley, and went to Langleybury… If you cvan hold onto it, I’ll let you know when I’m up that way next, and we can have a pint too… Let me know… and Thanks…
Yes please, I have been a bit busy, so probably will manage to get up your way in May if that’s OK… let me know, if you don’t want to hold on to it for so long, I’ll, understand…
