NERemodeling Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Really coming along! Looking good man!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmiller383 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 You have a nice set up going man. I might have missed it but do you have any kind of air filter down there for fine dust? I have my shop set up in my basement too and its such a pain doing anything just because I end up with a fine layer of sawdust throughout the entire basement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted January 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Thank you sir and NO! Unfortunately yesterday was a wake up call for me. Now I do run two Festool Midis which are perfect for DC and filtration but that cut I made last night was with my Dewalt 20v (which did AWESOME!) and the dust was unbelievable. Stupid stupid stupid rookie mistake. Now I am thinking about doing just that and getting a filter for the whole basement. Have you had any luck with finding any that peak your interest?

comp56 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 it made a big difference for me once I ported the exhaust from my shop vac directly outside....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted January 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Yeah I'm thinking about a whole filtration unit though. I'm looking into a non staticky dust deputy for my midi to conserve bags but for the tools that'd aren't as efficient in DC wouldn't the whole room one help out?

DR99 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 This guy built a dust filter for his shop. The commercial built units are 300 to 400 dollars.A good Hepa or close to Hepa vacuum should exhaust next to dust free air. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmiller383 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 I have a crude one where I just attached a furnace filter to the back of a box fan and that helped a little bit but it has to be very close to whatever tool I'm using. It works okay with my miter saw but anything that I'm cutting with a circular saw just covers the entire basement. I started looking into one from Shop Fox, model W1830, and one from Jet, model 708620B. I'll probably end up going with the Shop fox one just because its cheaper and the Jet seems to be overkill for my small area that I work in. I'd also like to get a dust deputy soon, it seems like that would definitely save some headaches with having to constantly blow out my shop vac filter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR99 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 The only thing I would do different is have it set up to use the 4" furnace filters. The little one inch is kinda lame plus they will get clogged up quick. It's an easy fix you just need to make it a little bit bigger to accommodate the deeper filter.

NicholasShetley Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Grizzly has some air/dust filters as well. They go down to one micron. They are either hanging or benchtop and the smaller one run less than $200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted January 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Thanks for that Nicholas, I will check out the site right now. Really dumb thing to last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madman_us Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 did anyone watched part2 of the air filter video? his bit extension is funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmiller383 Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 did anyone watched part2 of the air filter video? his bit extension is funny Yeah that was pretty funny. I still can't get over how much glue the guy used to put that thing together, he must go through about a gallon a project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted January 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Glue? A gallon? That's cause he's sniffing it between puffs! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regopit Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Thanks for that Nicholas, I will check out the site right now. Really dumb thing to last night. Maybe dumb thing to do but we live and learn. You should never cut fiber cement board in side and always wear a mask. Silica dust is as bad or worse than asbestos it can harden in your lungs. Google Crystalline silica one time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Silicosis isn't joke. I think that's why we are seeing all of the dust collection on sds tools.Well it also helps for any sort of anchor preparation, and keeps a cleaner jobsite but that's one of the reasons.

regopit Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 When I first went to work for the Utility we would use a rock wheel to do road cuts Dust and everything would fly when I left 35 years later you had to wear a supplied air mask when operating and a full face mask when working around it. Here is what a rock wheel is and this is low dust there where times you could not see you hand held in front of your face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR99 Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Wow that cement cutter is freaking crazy!! I never seen anything like that used around here. I just see the usual cement saw and that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
