Not a power sander, but one of these:

>>Sanding screen connected to a vacuum handle because it prevents dust from going everywhere.

>I have a $25 kit from Hyde that makes me wonder WTF I was doing all of these years without it.


The screen sander that connects to your vacuum that you two (& /u/kendrickshalamar) are referring to are the Hyde Tools 09165 (hand version) and Hyde Tools 09170 (pole version).

Hyde actually makes a sponge sander that connects to a vacuum which is similarly priced (Hyde Tools 09160). Does anyone have experience with this model?

I am skeptical about its efficacy, considering that a sponge has no holes, so the only way that dust can be sucked up is through the small gap around the sponge's outer edge.

Is it more effective than the method suggested by /u/fateislosthope (ie, just holding the vacuum hose under the sponge)?

u/RTFM_Wood · 12 pointsr/woodworking

Just stick this thing on a bucket and jam in the hoses. So easy even I can figure it out. :)

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000223XZ/ref=cm_sw_r_pi_dp_WlhyxbJTNJ30S

Elaboration edit: By going 2 stage you're also saving your vacuum bags and filter lifespan by saving the dust in an interim collection bin. I'm not rich and cannot afford the actual solutions, so this was a good step in the right direction.

u/foxydogman · 9 pointsr/ChineseLaserCutters

Yep! I use this one. I considered the one you linked, but got the metal one simply because it was cheaper at the time. Both would get the job done.


I have it connected to my k40 via 4" dryer hose and this flange hose fitting which fits perfectly in the slot on the back of the k40.


Used these clamps to secure the dryer tubing together.


As far as how well it works, I'm pretty satisfied. I have the exhaust blowing out a 4" fitting attached to a board I close in my window. I smell a little bit of burnt wood when cutting, but it's very minute. Almost all smoke goes out the window. The suction is very good, if I'm cutting card stock it occasionally sucks the small paper pieces right off the cutting bed. When I'm doing laser alignments, it almost completely eliminates the smell of burning masking tape during test firing even with the door open.

Tube Toys? Do you mean a tunnel? https://www.amazon.com/Marshall-Pet-Products-FT-190-Thru-Way/dp/B0002DJL0K are 4 inches across, they aren't small by any means. Also if you want something longer than 15 feet, Just get this one and chop it up as needed. https://www.amazon.com/PSI-Woodworking-D50C-Flexible-Collection/dp/B0006FKJD2/ref=pd_bxgy_469_img_3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=THCMPFT0ZWHRKKVTVY0Q. I'm working on wrapping that big one around a cat climbing post as a bridge.

u/Kyengen · 3 pointsr/cosplayprops

I'd use clear accordion pipe or clear corrugated tubing, 12-18 gauge Galvanized steel wire for support (depending on how heavy the piping is), paint the whole thing light green and add WS2812 leds on an arduino board to run that greenish/yellowish light through them.

u/kirbydanger · 3 pointsr/woodworking

Amazon- 50' of 4" hose for $50-60 depending on the price at the time. When I ordered last time, it was $56 or so. Waaaaaay cheaper than I'd seen it anywhere else. Good quality hose from what I can tell, no complaints here.

u/shrewdskein · 3 pointsr/HomeImprovement

Get one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000M2WSHY. Cuts down the drywall dust by about 90% and has worked great for us.

u/ATX_Bigfoot · 3 pointsr/woodworking

I have a Oneida Dust Deputy connected to a shop vac. Mine is just bungeed onto the vacuum so that they roll around together.

It works great! One of the best investments I made for the garage. I use it with my table saw, RO sander, and crosscut saw.

u/GrantMeThePower · 2 pointsr/woodworking

It works great. Its a HF 2hp. I wanted to free up floor space so I mounted the motor to the joist and hard plumbed the exhaust to the exterior of the building for any fine dust not sorted by the separator. The dust separator below it was made from this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074Y7F5QH/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_8rEVCbGR8JS7Z It's just inlets and elbows but it works great.

u/Rhythmdvl · 2 pointsr/woodworking

I am so excited I may get to help answer a question in /r/woodworking!!!

Tl;Dr: If your dust port is the same size as the linked adapter, you'll want one of these to connect the two.


I have a Jet bandsaw, and first tried the adapter linked to in /u/dstutz's post. But the Jet's dust port was the same diameter as the adapter, so I had to duct tape the heck out of it to keep it on and sealed. That worked, but the weight of the hose pulled it off every once in a while and it was a PITA to move.

Enter this. It's a simple sleeve that coupled the adapter to the dust port and tightened down easily.

u/dstutz · 2 pointsr/woodworking

I used one of these on my bandsaw before I got my HF dust collector.

u/ExplodingLemur · 2 pointsr/lasercutting

I use a 6" duct inline blower with a vent to the roof.
On the laser itself I have a rectangular to 4" adapter that slots right into the back of the laser (sealed up with aluminum tape), a 4" flex hose, and a 6" to 4" reducer to connect to the blower.

u/Su35SuperFlanker · 2 pointsr/boostedboards

They turn on and off automatically. Leave it for a minute not moving it turns off. Mounted with some 1inch cable clamps on the back top. Light

u/morgf · 2 pointsr/woodworking

I have both the Rockler hose and this Powertec hose:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01JROABYY

I use the Powertec more frequently since it is lighter and has no tendency to pull back on me.

I do use the Rockler hose occasionally. But it is essential to rig up a suspension loop from the ceiling. I fastened a velcro strap to the ceiling above my sanding area, and then I run the Rockler hose through the looped velcro strap, getting it to just the right height so that when the hose is attached to the sander, the sander will just sit flat on the center of the surface being sanded.

Always on the lookout for something better, I spotted this on amazon. I may order it:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NZZZ5ZL

u/blue_chalk · 2 pointsr/woodworking

It's called a dust deputy. You can buy a ready to go kit for about $100, or just the plastic cyclone part for 50 I think. Because I wanted it to fit in a small space, I used a 3 gallon bucket that I had and just bought the cyclone portion. It works really well, almost no dust makes it to the shop vac.

Here is the whole system on Amazon.

u/Old_Soldier · 2 pointsr/woodworking

I have pretty much the same set up except I have a One micron filter for 36 bucks.

I bought the HF Accessory kit (link bellow). While this gave me just enough parts to start with it had issues.

I found the Dust Right kit to be far better.

Amazon appears to have one, https://www.amazon.com/Woodstock-W1049-Large-Collection-Separator/dp/B0000223XY
I don't know how efficient it is

u/DumpsterDave · 2 pointsr/woodworking

Dust Containment, Dust Collection, Dust Filtration.

First, go to any big box store (I think even walmart may have it) and get a roll of sheet plastic. Try to get at least 6mil thickness. Attach this to the bottoms of the joists and subfloor. Be sure to go up in between the joists to seal that off too. Staples work really well, especially if you reinforce the edge of the plastic with a piece of duct tape on both sides. Wherever your door is going to be, overlap to pieces by about 12-18" to create a usable door flap.

Second, (if you don't already have one) get some sort of dust collection. A simple shop vac will do, though I highly recommend that you get a large one with a 2 1/2" hose as well as some sort of dust separator or you will be buying vacuum bags and filters like crazy.

Finally, get the Wen 3410 for $125. It has plenty of air movement and at full speed will cycle the air in a 20x20 room something like 7 times per hour I think. It's also quiet. The unit is identical to the Rikon and a couple other units at a much cheaper price.

The first two are the most important, but the last will greatly reduce the amount of dust that stays in the air, and more importantly, your lungs. A good respirator would also be a good investment as well. For less than $20, it's a good investment. I like the 3M 650x Quick Latch Respirator. I use one of these along with the P100 filters. If you have to go cheap on the last one, get a $20 box fan and a 20x20 furnace filter. That works decently too.

edit: I too work in my basement. I did the above and do not have problems with dust anywhere in the house, even right outside of my shop.

u/wwwarrensbrain · 2 pointsr/hobbycnc

CNC is definitely not a set-it-and-forget-it type of machine. And getting toolpaths (CAM) right is tough.
Winston Moy does a good job of showing his mistakes and various problems of workholding, fixturing, and when good toolpaths go bad https://www.youtube.com/user/krayvis

There are a few things that can go wrong... in my personal experience, workholding is #1 but that depends on what shape and type of materials you are using. I have a XCarve, a Nomad 883, a Tormach mill, a Tormach CNC lathe, a Epilog laser cutter, and a couple 3D printers. They each have their own qwirks of motion controllers.
The Xcarve was by far the worse.. a web based GCode sender alone with a faulty motion controller made for many crashed workpieces and jammed endmills causing lots of chaos. A new motion controller and a home built controller fixed that. I'd suspect the newer models of Xcarve/Shapeoko are better? But my point is they aren't a laser printer.
If you are working in wood, each has their own issues - - some of the nicest and easiest cutting is with MDF type of product that doesn't have a grain and is consistent, but the dust issue needs to be managed with a vacuum system and exhaust or a dust collector like https://www.amazon.com/Oneida-Air-Systems-Cyclone-Separator/dp/B002GZLCHM
There are knockoffs of "dust deputy's" for $25 and you can glue and screw them to a Home Depot pail, or you can just vacuum directly but MDF dust chokes filters and bags really quick.

Overall, with my wood and metal CNC's, I probably spend 3x the time watching them than I do designing in the computer - best case. Sometimes a couple hours designing and CAMing, and the rest of the day babysitting the machines.

u/sektabox · 2 pointsr/woodworking

With 15 amp circuits your options are limited but not insurmountable. Especially that they are separate.

For the DC I'd go for about the only 110V one that actually does its job pretty well:

https://www.amazon.ca/Delta-50-767-Dust-Collector-Black/dp/B0146RKJRQ

That leaves you with the other circuit to share between the other tools and the lighting.

u/DanielHeth · 2 pointsr/harborfreight

Picked up a PowerTec 20’ flex hose from Amazon... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LPOR42M/
It’s nice and seems very thick. Works very well with the dc and a 2” reducer at the very end for my table saw.

Get you some of that Dust Deputy Game. Changer.

u/Ltcolbatguano · 1 pointr/Skookum

the suction they generate is great but consider this kind of set up if you really want a shop vac. https://www.amazon.com/Oneida-Air-Systems-AXD000004A-Deputy/dp/B002GZLCHM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1519790017&sr=8-2&keywords=cyclonic+separator

or just sell it on craigslist and use half the money to get a proper shop vac.

u/It-gets-bigger · 1 pointr/woodworking

This Dust Deputy unit is also very efficient but a bit more money. You can buy just the separator.

u/Incrarulez · 1 pointr/woodworking

I gave this a try. It's decent. The parts that I had acquired for a thein baffle laugh at my laziness. I think it was cheaper a few months ago or I may have ordered it from grizzly. Add weather stripping to the edge of the 31 gallon metal trash can.

u/jontomas · 1 pointr/diynz

well, the ryobi is loud. I've got my in a box which helped a ton, but upgrading that at some point to something that doesn't need to go in a box is definitely on my to do list.

The DC.... also loud. Probably not as loud or as screechy though. Both require hearing protection so I'd put them on roughly the same level. Just saying don't expect something whisper quiet =)

Making a cupboard for the DC to cut out noise is one of my eventual one-day sorta plans.

Re the bag, i think from amazon - probably this one: https://www.amazon.com/POWERTEC-70001-Collector-20-Inch-31-Inch/dp/B005VSAP74/ref=sr_1_26

It was a little big for my DC so I had to pad out the seal with tape to get it tight. Also requires the bottom bag to be plastic, rather than the cloth bag the DC's often come with

u/LiveToCreate42 · 1 pointr/lasercutting

I see. I was told something like this would be a bit quieter?

Penn State 1.5hp.


I do need to filter out odors.

u/colonelpan1c · 1 pointr/CNC

Get a dust collection boot, some 4" dust hose, and a cheap used 1.5-2HP dust collector, you'll cut your clean up by about 95%. Also, cutting MDF without dust collection is kind of a bad idea. The glues they use for that stuff will kill you if you breathe enough of it.

The Powermatic CNC dust boot fits the Avid/CNCRP spindle, and you won't have to dick around with the Avid/CNCRP DIY one that honestly costs just as much to make.

https://www.amazon.com/Powermatic-PM-DS-CNC-Dust-Shoe/dp/B01LCJOY40

Once you have dust collection - hit the rails with the air compressor blow gun once in a while and you'll be fine. Been running my PRO6096 machine heavy and hard compared to most owners for the last 6 months, no real issues other than some fasteners that rattled themselves loose. Everything is loctited now.

Edit: Oh god, close the electrical cabinets when there's that much dust happening. Yikes.

u/wigglebump · 1 pointr/woodworking

I made the Thien baffle for mine years ago and love it. I used to vent out a window, but moved to a larger shop in August and got this bag: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002DSC09Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_9IRfzbVFB0KRG It worked just fine, and stayed pretty clean from day one. I know it's a different style bag / setup, but just my 2¢ using a 3 micron bag. The inside is now kinda caked with crud, but the airflow is still strong after I empty it.

New DC in my shop this week means the Harbor Freight machine will retire to just floor cleaning and drill press duty, but it's a great machine for the money.

u/gargle_ground_glass · 1 pointr/woodworking

You want something like this. Separators really work well. You might need to get some fittings, depending on the diameter of your vacuum hose.

u/Strid3r21 · 1 pointr/woodworking

I have the 734 and have it hooked up to a dust cyclone

That is basically a fancy lid for a 5 gallon bucket. The shop vac sucks the chips out of the planer and drops them into the bucket instead of filling up the shop vac.

It works pretty well.

If you just hook a hose up to the planer it will just clog up because the 734 doesn't have a chip blower.

u/Vlad_the_Homeowner · 1 pointr/HomeImprovement

I can't speak to plaster, but I didn't know much about drywall until I owned a house. A project like this is the perfect time to start working on those skills. Every home owner (with drywall) should have some hot mud and a drywall knife in the garage. And I highly recommend one of these vacuum sanders as well.

u/HanMain · 1 pointr/lasercutting

More research points to this being pretty quiet

https://www.amazon.com/PSI-Woodworking-DC3XX-Portable-Collector/dp/B01CU7DKTI#aw-udpv3-customer-reviews_feature_div


But that perhaps the laser would be louder than the fan anyway? Or that I could build a wooden enclosure to lower the noise? And buy a 6 inch hvac of 240 cfm?


And maybe this would be quiet and powerful enough:

> Why would it need to be grounded? The sensor is either some sort of thermocouple or a thermistor. Either way there are only two wires.

It's an automotive one and he only hooked up 1 wire. engines are grounded, that would complete the other 1/2. This is screwed into a bucket so there is no ground.

As for the ducting, I picked up a 4"-3" adapter from homedepot. i knew the od was 5" i was able to stretch it over the opening... the existing ducting fit inside with no problems.

I've read this works on the back and will attach it to back of the k40 when it gets in.

u/intheaterssoon · 0 pointsr/woodworking

I think that the only part of the HF unit I'm going to use is the motor and impeller. I'm going to bite the bullet and probably get a large Oneida dust deputy with 4" ports and I'm going to use this 3 micron bag with no other plastic bag: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002DSC09Q

I've got shop air filtration units to get down to 1 micron. What micron rating does the Wynn canister your referring to have?

I'm still slightly debating whether to spend the $150 or so for the large Oneida cyclone or if I should just go with this lid: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0035YD23K

I wonder how much of a performance difference there is between the Oneida and those trash can lids.

u/inobmaZ · -8 pointsr/woodworking

Proabably should have spent a bit more and went with the Kregg K5MS with extra clamps here: Link

Then gone with the bigger Ridgid vavvum with the free car kit here: Link

Also, don't forget that saw dust clogs up filters FAST. I would highly suggest buying or making some type of dust connection system such as: Link
