This IS the hardest part of creating a decent hobby shop dust collection system. My challenge is that having a nice big dust collector is useless, until you fix your machines to collect as much dust as possible where it is generated. :this list can cover every machine in shop, but I'll stop here.Īm not disagreeing with Pentz or anyone else on need for good dust collection. Many 1.5-2HP dust collectors come from factory with 6" inlet, while none of them have enough cfm to support more than couple feet of 6" pipe and maintain proper velocity, why not use 5" they can support instead? Check out dust collection on 6×48 belt sander, it is still underwhelming despite being a commercial tool. No one offers 360° coverage removable dust shroud below exposed cast iron tables? Band saw dust collection on < 20" commercial machines is after thought. It would be 5-6" with 3" line running to overhead guard dust collector as standard feature. 4" dust port on TS cabinet would cease to exist.
Worse, very few manufacturers truly care about dust collection on 'hobby grade' wood working tools. The biggest challenge with dust collection is it only works when dust is collected at source. IMHO - Dust collection is compromise, and everyone's solution to this problem is just a little different as we all have different shops. Which is better dust collection everywhere or more masks? Sigh…

If you want to breath forever, then get biggest best dust collection system you can for shop.īetter get one for inside house too, as humans shed skin dust and clothing fibers at very high and dangerous rates too.Īlso don't want to go outside your dust collection bubble as there is massive amounts of dust every where outside.īut wait, wearing a N100 mask all time, means you don't need dust collection at all? What good is owning the Biggest Baddest Clearview dust collector made if poor collection at machine means you still need to wear dust mask in shop all time? Let me spin you head in opposite direction for a minute? That would reduce the impact of what is essentially lower air flow compared to a big cyclone, lower duct work cost and potentially lower shop build costs if the closet can be eliminated.Pro: Great resource with lot of technical informationĬon: Over bearing "death by dust" warning message With the Harvey, I'd seriously consider putting it in the middle of the machinery to keep the duct length low.doable because of the greatly reduced sound levels that the Harvey provides. The latter would most certainly be in a sound reduced closet away from the main work area and use longer and larger duct work out to where the machines live. I mentioned in another thread that I'd consider using the Harvey differently than a traditional cyclone. I wonder if those who are unhappy with theirs thought it would be the silver bullet when they bought it?ĮrikI think your question is valid.sometimes the details are not considered hard enough for this kind of thing. But would also understand there's probably a tradeoff in efficiency for form factor/sound level. Jim, if I were setting up a home shop and had the money, I would probably go for a Harvey. Will you trade off more frequent maintenance and cost for the form factor of the Harvey? Or can do you have the room and can you deal with the noise from a cyclone? Is there a right answer? They are so different in design and there are so many variables that have nothing to do with the collector, itself, that I think it would be hard to make an apples-to-apples comparison.
Cyclones will digest anything but are loud and bulky.

Get the best deals on Cyclone Dust Collectors when you shop the largest online selection at. The other customer has a spiral cutterhead on his planer and loves the Harvey, last I heard. I believe his planer has a straight-knife cutterhead.
One guy sent it back because it apparently could not keep up with his planer. Both bought them because of the form factor. To my mind, comparing the Harvey to a cyclone (design, not specific brand) is apples to oranges. Just have been in a million shops and seen their setups. Bearing in mind that I am no expert on dust collection.
