hi Glider.....I’ve secured my impeller as per these photos, the instructions stated the taperlock had to be flush with the motor shaft. These look about right to you?

I would definitly look at minimum 150mm ducting when you do bite the bullet on the p-flux, the dust that my twin dusty picks up through the 225 & 150 PVC is so much better than the normal 100mm

yes mate R & T Powtran 1500

Thanks for the chat today Mick and the photos of the saw overhead suction.....I need to work on that one.

I need some help please. I have the VFD and my sparkie has asked which of the terminal in...

Good to know fletty, I remember to tell the missus 😂😂😂

Fletty......I did think that today, with the amount of suction it had off the saw, thicknesser, planner and drum sander I thought to myself...(didn’t tell the wife) maybe I didn’t need to spend the...

A couple more updates

sawstop connection done, I didn’t cut the back of the saw box so it’s still 100mm behind the box I made.

Hi Glider

a couple of questions about your dust bin and cyclone

my CVmax arrives next week so am in the process of designing my waste collection bin. I currently use plastic bags on my twin...

Question on the waste drum for a Clearvue

I use plastic bags as it’s the easiest way for me to get rid of the waste, can I make a drum and put bags in or do I need to do something special to the...

Hi Mick

1. I’m getting...

Thanks Fletty, looking forward to getting the job underway.

your bigger dust ports look great, I’ll be using those ideas thanks

yes I’m thinking I’ll need some help getting all the CVmax in...

Thanks Bob, great reading I’ll be working through these ideas over the coming weeks/month to open up the ports as best I can for air flow.

Yeah haveabeer my quote is just over $4k with the VFD, but after lots of research it’s the best system for my setup. Venting it outside and reducing the dust is my main drive.

Hey fellow woodies

Ive ordered my new Clearvue CVmax which I will have in a few weeks and am planning my new dust extraction setup for my workshop. This could be a long thread from start to...

Thanks Chris, the blast gates look great, I have sent an email through your site

CHEERS

One thing I just though of, from where the cyclone will be housed the roof has a 5 degree slip on it. My ducting will run down this to the machines, will this small angle make a difference to the...

Okay so I’ve decided on the Clearvue Cmax just waiting on Clearvue Australia coming back to me with final price and availability.

I have to put the unit inside but can vent it outside, I think I...

Thanks BobL

yes I was looking at the clearvue last night, outside isn’t really an option due to noise and the area around my workshop is already in use or to hard to access to empty the bin....

Hi All
