Recently I had two burst in my home. Luckily I was nearby and heard it only because of the high water pressure and resultant spray created a lot of noise. Despite turning off the main stopcock within...

I also put all machine use on hold to stop and sort out the DE situation once and for all. Problem was, that was in 2020 and I'm still not there yet (almost)!

As to the impellor size, trying to...

Edit: looking at your pics again, I do see your 3rd wye ready for the overhead table saw, similar spare line over at the DP, so i get it now.

Wow, you have been busy. Nice work on shaping that pvc and those bellmouth mods to your blower. Thanks for the pics, giving us all a good perv. Crazy how we start out just wanting to make some stuff...

Hopefully they didn't get sucked up into the ducting, but completed the project and are living happily ever after.
Cheers Tonyz.

Hey Kristen, how did this all go?
Could I just confirm, did you find a 14.5" impellor? What unit was this from? Most of these sized units seem to have 12"inch impellors....
thanks Simon

Hey Tonyz,
I made the cyclone and blower based on Bill Pentz specs, with a 16" impellor purchased from clearvue oz just before they ceased. Also got a 4hp 3phase motor, and VFD through them.
I...

Here's some pics for my previous post.

Currently it's just a 3 sided box, with a lid, no front panels/doors as yet. I think the interior width is 730x730, total external height is 2700. Walls and...

Oh no, what happened - change of living situation? I'm getting towards the end of completing an enclosure build, and DE/cyclone build, I'll try to get some pics over the weekend for you. Will create...

Thanks Mark, you've certainly done a good roundup of potential fans to consider. I guess the only pressure introduced is the small restriction caused by the filter, given there's no need for any...

Thanks for posting this Mark, great build. May I ask, what is the fantech model you used, and what its stated air volume is? Id like to make this, so im wondering how many room changes per hour this...

Payment sent using bank details in PM.

Oops! Should of been 4121, Tarragindi. Would prefer to pop by and pickup, just a bit too busy to get over that way next few weeks.

Hi Ven, Id like to take the 6" square please, if the postage to 421 is reasonable. One question, what is that line on the face of the brass blade? Looks like a pencil line, not a deep scratch?...

Interesting to know, thanks for that info.

I would not have realised that suction could be that much to resist the wood sliding under! Will try this, building one soon. Thanks for the info

Hi Dave, With your noise enclosure on the dusty, how did you handle the return air venting? Does it return back into the shop through some soft of muffler/baffle exit from that enclosure? Thanks for...

Thanks for showing your setup Tony. Yes this forum and the people on here are a wealth of great knowledge, ideas and support.

Examining the design your overhead hood, I notice the rear end is...

Happy to take the remaining slab if not already accounted for

Gday Steve, how much and do you have any pics?

I'm keen to buy a pack if there's any left. I live in Brisbane and can pick up anytime outside of usual work hours.

I'm in.

Hi Bevan,
I would like to take this. I can come tomorrow if that suits? Failing that, I could only collect the other weeknights after 7pm as I'm back at work Wednesday, but Sat/sun flexible. I'll PM...

Sorry about that last post...kids must have hijacked my phone

Would you take $20, postage included?

Hi Meldge, I've got his card at home but I'm away overseas for another 3 weeks. I'll pass it on once back.

So i was talking to a guy I met today out and about in Brisbane and it turns out to be Wayne. He told me about his timber collection, which sounds quite large and varied. He also seems very...

Ok good to know Safari, and I'll take a look at the Laguna stuff.

Hi powered wood cutters,
I've had this model for a year now and have been pretty happy with it. I've ripped and cross-cut a fair bit of old gnarly hardwood at full height, ply and laminated...

Hi Peter,
I own the CD-2A which is this unit combined with a 2hp blower and pleated filter. It was an impulse buy off gumtree due to a very very cheap price. I've actually not used it yet as I need...

Thanks for letting me know.

This is brilliant, thanks for the cross-link MandJ ! Great detailed information, and I especially like the way you've gone about it. Appreciate all your hard work and posts to document your design....

Hi Evanism,
I realise this thread is now a little old, but I stumbled upon this while looking into resawing an dust collection on the 14 SUV which I own. I'm looking to improve my dust collection...

TT yes it's a definite and very obvious rhombus (rhomboidal!) shaped cross section. The blade is 1/2" wide with some hefty thickness to it. Alas I don't have a bench grinder, though I do know someone...

The thought had crossed my mind to grind it, but I don't have the means or experience, and certainly not the time. If you've done something like this before, is it quick and easy and what tools do I...

Wow this thread is now very old but its aided my sanity check after wondering about a recent chisel I brought at a market tool trader. Beautiful old Ward mortice chisel with no signs of usage,...
