JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 Just a word of caution, if you are going to scroll with that thing running, wear hearing protection. You will be glad you did over the long run. Trust me. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen so much damage caused by 'noise' and dust in my lifetime to consider 'protection' a must !!

As to what else you “need”, don’t worry somebody will post something new we all need and can’t live without sooner then later.

CharleyL Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) You could add a Dust Deputy ahead of that vacuum. It will collect 99% of the sawdust, your Vacuum and vacuum filter will never need cleaning, and you will have full suction no matter how much saw dust you collect (at least until the container under the Dust Deputy fills up). Mine sits on top of a 20 gallon metal barrel and I can go about 2 years before I need to dump the barrel. My vacuum container and filter never get more than a micro thin dust layer on them. Vent the outlet of the vacuum to the outdoors and you won't ever be breathing even the finest of sawdust. I was at a woodworking show last Fall where a band saw was being demonstrated, and the guy had a vacuum like your's collecting the sawdust, but he had a Dust Deputy in the hose running to the vacuum. The collection container under his Dust Deputy was a 1 gallon clear plastic kitchen canister with metal clamps that tightly sealed the lid on. He said that he could do a 3 day show without dumping the sawdust from it, and he had full suction the whole time. When I noticed it, the container was about 1/3 full and it was late afternoon on the second day of the show.

scrollingforsanity Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 Glad you got your own vacuum. What kind is it. Mine is a rigid and definitely is not even close to being quiet. I have a Dustopper on both my vacuums attached to a five gallon bucket. Works extremely well. Been using the one for about three months vacuuming up the dust from my scrollsaw and there is only a trace of dust in the vacuum. grizz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
