- Hey everyone, my name is Matt. Welcome back to the Barn, and this time we are
setting up Dust Collection. Well, putting a cyclone
up there on that wall. So in the shop, I have
the Clear Vue CV1950, which is a clear cyclone,
which I absolutely love. It brings me such joy to watch
soda swirl around in there, as I'm feeding boards through
the plane or for instance. Most of you share in my
appreciation of how awesome that is, but some of you don't like the idea that that cyclone is made of plastic. So out here, we have the Clear Vue EF5, which is a very similar
cyclone just made out of steel. Now I am an affiliate
for Clear Vue Cyclones, so if you use the coupon
code, "Cremona5" at checkout, you can save 5% on a cyclone system. Clear Vue provided the
entire system for the shop, and I hear from the Barn, they provided just the cyclone. I'm providing all the ductwork, and I bought the accessories that they just started
offering their filter shaker, and their silencer muffler thing, which we will install
on the cyclone out here. So previously, I installed
the main trunk up here, which will run back to the cyclone, which we mounted up there
on the wall somewhere. So I wanna get started today
getting the cyclone assembled so I can get it kinda up in the air. I'm gonna actually put it
up there on the forklifts, and get it in the right spot and then attach it to the wall, so I can get it aligned
with the existing trunk that I put in already. Okay, motor mount plate thingamabobber. (screws clinking) (wrench ratcheting) So this is exactly the same
as the other dust collector. We got our taper lock bushing, which is gonna attach that
impeller to that motor shaft. So this thing is tapered
that has a little split here, so that when this gets pulled
down into this hole here, it's gonna squeeze on the shaft and lock it to the shaft. So that's how a taper lock bushing works. It's gonna loosely install these, and then we'll get it slid onto the shaft. (impeller clanking) You want the bushing to be
on the end of the shaft, so I'm just gonna raise the
impeller up a little bit, (impeller clanking)
rest it on these bars. (impeller clanking) And this lock down's a little set screw, which keeps the key stock in place. And that's it. Impeller attached. (cyclone clanking) So one of the big
differences between this one and the plastic one, is that since this one is metal, (cyclone clinking) it's already set up to play
with the Nordfab fittings. So it has all these rolled ends on it. So let go directly into Nordfab fittings, just like here on the
output of the impeller into the filter system. You could run this with
the rigid Nordfab ductwork, and this be all ready to go, versus having to have
one of these in here. This is a Nordfab to flex hose fitting, which we'll use, but otherwise, (flex hose clinking) if you want to go from this to flex pipe. (flex hose clanking) Now, there you go. So all the Nordfab stuff just
snaps together like that, which makes it super nice
and convenient and modular. (wrench clinking) (wrench ratcheting) So next, we're gonna
mount the impeller housing onto the cyclone housing. And a couple differences
I'll note here between this and the plastic cyclone. On this one, you have a set of, like, threaded holes on here. So the impeller can only be
mounted relative to the cyclone in 12 different positions
all the way around, because the mounting holes
and the impeller housing had to line up with
the mounting holes here in the cyclone housing. Whereas, on the plastic cyclone, you actually screw the
two components together. (plastic cyclones clanking) So your positions are
infinitely adjustable instead of like, incrementally
or iteratively adjustable like they are on here. That's not gonna be a
big deal for me at least, but if you need more fine
tuning of where the outlet and the inlet are relative to each other, that might be a consideration. Another kinda nice thing is
that since all of this is all, like, welded together, and we have this gasket thing on here now, we're not really doing a
whole lot of silicone ceiling. On the plastic one, there's
like silicone everywhere like, you'll use a whole tube of silicone. With the metal cyclone, you still need some
silicone here and there, but there's far less of it to do. (screws clinking) (wrench ratcheting) So now is where my installation is gonna deviate from most peoples, because at this point, you're supposed to have this
bracket mounted to the wall, and you would start putting this thing up onto the wall in pieces, and basically building it up on the wall. Since I'm gonna use my
forklift to install this thing and it's gonna be like 14 feet in the air, I'm gonna fully assemble
the whole thing down here on the ground and lift
it up as a single unit, versus trying to assemble
this thing up in the sky. So the next thing will
be to take the impeller and flip it over and put
it into the blower housing. (footsteps thumping) (impeller thuds) There's a little trick, set it on top of the bolts so you can get your fingers up. (laughs) (impeller clanking) (screws clinking) (paper rustling) (screws clinking) (screw drill thudding) (screw drill whirring) (screw clinking) (screw drill whirring) (metal clinking) (pliers thuds) (metal clinking) (wrench ratcheting) (electrical tape snaps)
(electrical tape thuds) (metals clanking) (screws clinking) (screw drill whirring) (forklift roaring) (plastic cyclone clanking)
(forklift roaring) (plastic cyclone clinking)
(forklift roaring) So the cool thing here is that this actually uses those
Nordfab fittings again. So this is an 18-inch Nordfab clamp. (plastic cyclone clinking) So once again on the plastic cyclone, this is an area that you
have to seal on here. These clamps, our self-sealing, (plastic cyclone clanking) so that's not really a concern. (clamp clicking) (clamp clicking) (Matt laughs) So there it is. (laughs) There's the, there's the cyclone, I guess. I, of course, forgot the
need to have actually picked from the other direction
from the front of the unit. So we're gonna spin it around. (engine roaring) (plastic cyclone clinking)
(engine roaring) (plastic cyclone thudding)
(engine roaring) Okay, I have it sitting there on the forks in the right position, and I just wanna get it up kinda up there. So I roughly know where
I'm gonna put some boards across here between two posts for this mounting bracket
thingamajiggy. (chuckles) So, yeah. It's gonna go up and down a few times. (engine roaring) (forklift beeping)
(engine roaring) So a couple things, the mass is at full height and that is not actually high enough. So I will probably to pick from the mounting ring when
I do the actual lift up here, but what I can see from
here with this duct it kinda comes into probably
the bottom of the fork. So I'm about eight inches too low, 'cause that's the size of that duct. Where are my finger? That duct, there's an eight-inch duct, and I gotta go, well, probably
another eight inches or so. So (chuckles) I'm just gonna
slap a board on the wall about eight inches higher
than we're at right now, and see where that kind of takes us. Hopefully now the junction
box isn't in the way, (laughs) which it could be if we
can go higher, I guess. If I have to, I can raise
this duct a bit higher, too. So we'll see. At least I got it up here and I have at least some idea what it's gonna look
like up here on the wall. (circular saw whirring) (wood thuds) (screw drill whirring) (screw drill whirring) (metals clinking) (screw drill whirring) (engine roaring)
(forklift beeping) (engine roaring) (metals clanking)
(engine roaring) (metals clanking) Here we go! (cyclone thudding) (metal clinking)
Hey, we're almost there. Just gonna get it off the forks now, but it's partially on the bracket. (metals clinking) (wood thuds) There we go.
(cyclone thudding) It's on the bracket now. So just push it towards the back. (cyclone thuds) (cyclone thuds) Okay. (Matt speaks faintly) (wood thuds) (metals clanking) (metals clinking) (metals clinking) (cyclone thudding) Okay. (metals clinking) (metals clinking)
(Matt laughs) (metals clicking) Oh, my God. It's here. Is that right? I wish I labeled this. Let's see, that's the smallest. Yeah, we're on there. (cyclone thudding) (Matt grunts)
(metals clinking) Okay, it looks kinda promising. Maybe a little, little low maybe? Pretty darn close in this
direction though. (chuckles) So I wanted to get this counterweight on this side before I go shoving it off of its support back there and having it tipped
down on me. (chuckles) So I'm gonna go down there and now, and just shove this whole thing, whatever this is, two feet or whatever. (engine roaring) (cyclone thudding) Oh, shit, this is... (laughing) (cyclone clanking) I was thinking, you know, I'll just like, get up here and just pull it over instead of shoving it
over four inches at a time with the forklift. (cyclone thudding) That might have been the
correct way to go though. (cyclone thudding) (Matt grunts) Whatever that is, (laughing) that is gonna be damn close. And I can still turn the
cyclone a little bit, too, to get in a line, 'cause I'm off about two or
three inches left to right. Right now, and we got
about four inches still. (cyclone thudding) Oh, come on! (cyclone thudding) Okay. (Matt laughing) Hot. (cyclone clinking) That is not bad actually, 'cause I (laughs) I just... I eyeballed this, and the height is, like, perfect. It's a little, I gotta mess with this
fitting a little bit and turn it and get it more in line, but (laughs) that ain't bad for eyeball, that's for sure. I didn't mess with this. Let's see if I can get it
a little more lined up. (cyclone thudding) (cyclone clanking) (clamp clinking) Okay, slide it in. (cyclone clinking)
(cyclone thudding) (Matt laughing) I got so lucky. (laughs) Look at this. (Matt laughing) Oh! (laughs) I don't know if you
could plant it that wall if you wanted to. (cyclone thudding) Okay, let's see.
(cyclone clanking) Oh, my gosh! (cyclone thuds) (Matt laughing) We're hooked up. Oh, that feels good. (metals clinking) I was really worried about this. (metals clinking) All right. (metals clanking) Oh, my God! (Matt chuckling) (metals clanking) (Matt panting and laughing) (metals clinking) That's more normal. (metals clinking) (metals clinking) Okay.
(metals clanking) Okay.
(engine roaring) Another foot.
(engine roaring) Right, right there is good.
(engine whirring) (cyclone thudding) (cyclone thudding) (clamp clinking) And there. (clamp clinking) (clamp snaps)
Oh, yeah! (metals clanking) And how to hold this? How the hell am I gonna hold this? (metals clanking) (clamp snaps) (metals clinking) Okay. We gotta drop. (metals clinking) Oh, the swivel's nice until
you gotta put a hose on it. (Matt chuckles) Oh, come on! (chuckles) Maybe I should have put the
hose onto the adapter first. (Matt laughing) (metals clinking) (tube whirling) (screw drill whirring) (engine whirring) (machine beeping) (hose crackling) (machine beeping)
(engine whirring) (hose crackling) All right, I'm gonna leave
this sitting here for a bit so let it has some time to kinda detention as it's been kind of cooped
up in a box for so long. So while that's kinda
hanging out for a bit, I'm gonna move on to the filter stack. So we have it kinda mocked up here. We have the clean out box first filter. We have the filter
vibrator mounting area here between the two filters, and then we'll have the
silencer on top of that. So that's gotta go
somewhere on the wall here. So now that they're mocked up, I know at least where
the bottom needs to be so I can get some kinda
bracket on the wall to support the whole entire stack going up to the cyclone way the heck up there. So I'm gonna grab some two by fours and make a wall bracket shelf mount thing. I'm a bobber. (circular saw whirring) (screw drill whirring) (screw drill whirring) (screw drill whirring) (wood thuds) (screw drill whirring) (screw drill whirring) (footsteps thumping) (screw drill whirring) So for our little shelf material here this is the wall mounting bracket that they give you if you're not using or not able to get your
mounting bracket thing for the cyclone against actual stud. Since I can put my support anywhere, I don't need this. So this is now gonna be
a shelf for the filters. Then I also have the idea that well, instead of putting some
braces down here like this, why don't I just put this support up top and hang the braces this way so they're not down here in the way. So a few more screws and this
little support shelf thing should be almost ready to go. (wood ratcheting) (Matt chuckles) Other angle. (screw drill whirring) Cool. Cool, cool, cool. All right, so we're gonna start with the, (cyclone thuds) what is this thing? The cleanup, thingamabobber, it's the base of the whole assembly, and I got some bolts here, which we'll bolt to the bottom that is where the leveling
feet would be normally. But since I don't need any leveling feet, I'm using this as a way to
secure this entire stack to the shelf thing. (wrench ratcheting) Okay, I'm gonna assemble
someone's down here on the ground. So this is the bracket
for the filter shaker to knock all the (blows air)
loose stuff off the filters. (Matt burbles) A little silicone. (grunts) This is definitely clogged, 'cause it's old. Oh, my God. Okay.
(metals clinking) Whoop! (metals clanking) It smells good. (screw drill whirring) Okay, it's that one. Do the same thing with this guy. (screw drill whirring) Okay, first filter. Oh, I got some silicone there. I'm just gonna set this
guy in the silicone, turn that the way I want it, which is that the way, I think. Like that. A little silicone between the two halves. (ladder clattering) Ooh! (ladder clattering) (Matt grunts)
(ladder clattering) (cyclone thudding) (screws clinking) Okay. One more. Time for sketchy stuff. Oh, it's over there. (Matt laughs) It's all the way over here. (screws clinking) Okay, there's our filter stack. Now we gotta put the muffler up top. (engine whirring) You're good.
(engine whirring) (Matt blows air)
(engine whirring) All right, make sure you got
a shot of the silicone job, 'cause it's freaking artistic. (Matt laughs) Artwork. Good thing I have this
authentic masconomo hoodie with pouch for screws. (Matt laughing) Oh, my God, it's heavy! (cyclone clinking) This was a lot lighter on the ground. I'm just throwing that out there. (cyclone clanking) There we go, there we go. Good girl. (screw drill whirring) Hey, it's just like doing the Barn roof. Slap the drill. (screw drill whirring) Okay. (hose clanking) Oh, this is gonna be awkward. (hose clanking) (clamp snaps) That go? Why is that one so much
easier than the nines? Done. We are connected. (metals clanking) (screw drill whirring) (screws ratcheting) So here's how it looks
down here on the ground. Just above down here we got the collection drum to finish up. I have the vibrator to
install onto the filter stack. So that's gonna go on next, that's a quick one. And that's pretty much it. I'm just gonna get this hose cut and that'll be the drop from the bottom of the cyclone down to the drum. And we're pretty close
to being wrapped up here. (metals thudding) (screw clinking) Over here. Oh! That's some thick vinyl, whatever the hell that stuff is. (hose snaps) (cutter thuds) (hose snaps) Oh, you have to slide
to slide it down this. (metals clinking) (hose snaps)
There we go. Whoop! (hose ratcheting) Clampydilio. (screw drill thuds) Spiny thingy. (screw drill whirring) It's running away. (screw drill whirring)
Okay. (screw drill whirring) Whatever. Good enough. (hose crackling) That was much easier. (hose crackling) Wait, that's not the right side, not this side. (hose crackling) (screw drill whirring) (hose crackling) (screw drill whirring) (engine roaring) So there it is up on the wall, and fully assembled and functional. I wanna test the muffler a little bit, because it sounds like this is quieter than the one in the shop. So we're gonna compare this
one to the one in the shop and see how loud they are. I love you, but it would be a huge hassle to pull that muffler on and off and rehook up the filters and everything. So we're not gonna do that. So this isn't gonna be
quite apples to oranges, it's gonna be more like honey crisp to Golden Delicious or something. We have different room acoustics, we have a different
material for the cyclone, but we have the same impeller pushing air through the same filter stack so we should be at least ballpark-ish. (button clicks)
(engine roaring) (button thuds)
(engine roaring) (button clicks)
Okay, back to the Barn. (button clicks)
(engine roaring) Okay, so we dropped what, three decibels or something around there? Three, four decibels,
which is not insignificant and at least tonally to me in here. This doesn't sound like
a big wind turbine, it just kinda sounds
more like a muffled hum. So it's a little more pleasant
or something. (laughs) I think it's a decent upgrade if you have the space
included in your whole setup. As far as the shaker thing goes, I figure this would be a
little bit more convenient than blowing up the filters with compressed air every so
often like I do in the shop, with it being up high is
definitely less convenient. So this just has a plug on it, so I can plug it in whenever
I wanna shake the filters. (engine roaring) You can wire that into like
a timer or something else, but I figure whenever I empty the drum I'll just plugged it in for a few seconds and I'll shake any dust out the filter into the collection box. So, so far it's been doing a
really great job keeping up with the surfacer. I just got this thing set up and I've been flattening a
few slabs out here this week, and it has no problem pulling
literally all of the saw dust, at least that the boot can
capture up out of there. So no problem at all with dust collection to the slab surfacer. And then, of course, I
have the trunk set up for future runs in the future. Future runs in the future, (chuckles) when and if I need to add
more machines out here. For now I have a single 55-gallon drum. This is basically twice as big as the collection drum in the shop. That one's a 30, this one's 55. And the nice thing about
having the shelf thing here is when I wanna take
the bin out to empty it, I can just take the lid, (lid clattering)
stick it up here on the shelf, (hose clattering) and then wheel my drum out
wherever it used to go. Out to the woods to get dumped. (wheels rattling) You can see how much this hose is relaxed in the few weeks has been out here. That was like a tight fit to
get it to reach down there when I installed that. (chuckles) I think this is gonna work
out really nicely for me. I'm really excited and happy that I can get this thing
up and outta the way. I think that's kinda nice to preserve, you know, the floor space
and things over here just to further utilize
the vertical space I have. Getting that duct up there
into the truss is nice, too. I don't have anything hanging
down below the trusses, so taking advantage of
the vertical space I have. So that's gonna do it for this one. Hopefully you enjoyed the new dust collection's
installation out here. Kinda similar to installing in the shop, but slightly different with more height and excitement or something. I don't know. (chuckles) So thank you as always for watching. I greatly appreciate. If you have any questions or comments on the dust collection out
here in the shop or wherever, please feel free to leave me a comment. As always, I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have, and until next time. (chuckles) Happy working.
