I have had two large cabinet projects in this building; one full kitchen made from rustic hickory. The other just 22 raised panel doors made from poplar for existing cabinets. I also built a 20” cabin/Pilot house Power Dory. The shop is not a clean after the boat. 400 hours of sanding has a tenancy to leave a deep layer of dust on every thing in the shop.
The dust collection system is all 6” snap lock 26 gauge pipe and fittings with a 2.5 hp. Tempest S cyclone. The 6” blast gates were all shop made.

Wonderful looking shop, well thought out and well appointed. I am very impressed. Your double band saw setup is something I definitely need to do in the very near future.
Cheers

Very nice John! I see blast gates on the inlet side of your filters however I don’t see them on the clean out side. Do you constantly re-circulate dust back through the cyclone?
BTW, your table saw dust hood looks kinda familiar!

Marv88, You are correct the table saw hood is copied from the post you indicated. There are gates on the bottom of the filters. Penn State provides 4” gates for this. I ran a 6” duct down to the bottom for re-circulation and installed a flue wye then reduced to 4” for the gate and hose. I checked the velocity at this point and found with all other gates closed I had 7200 fpm. That is about 650 CFM. This picture shows this better.

Thanks John! I was talking to Dick Wynn at Wynn Filters today about making a plenum to use 2 filters on my cyclone however I really like your set up especially with the recirculating clean out! Also, hopefully my hood design works well for you and if you check the last page of my thread above you’ll see I made a new hood but unfortunately it did not work out as well as the original design (I already gave the original to a friend so I’m going to re make it)

Marv88, Thanks for the hood design, I like it. It works well. I did make one change I used nylon screws to hold the Plexiglas on. I have a SawStop so I didn’t want any metal down close to the blade.

A really nice space. I really like the higher ceilings. You can never have enough storage and wall space.
Looks like an enjoyable place to work. I really do need A\C in my next shop.
