Building an auxiliary table, fence, and integrated dust collection system for a budget drill press, including some performance testing of the new dust system. This is the second video in this series. The first video showed the making of a handwheel for raising and lowering the rack-and-pinion mechanism. The link to that video is: • Drill Press Upgrade 1:...
The idea for the dust collection came from a video by Dennis from Hooked on Wood. Check it out at:

The dust collection with that pvc molding is genius!

Thanks Patrick. I've done something similar with dust collection for the router, but instead of "shrinking" the elbow with the heat gun, I've attached a short piece of 2" and enlarged it with the heat gun using a stepped wood cone. Worked well. I'll try your method next time

That scene at the end without dust collection took my breath away. I saw where you were going from the start, but that’s very impressive and unexpected just how much dust you were able to intercept. I HAVE to try this. BTW, I used the same PVC shaping technique many times. So useful.

Super smart mods, especially the custom nozzles and PVC piping. I've spent literally days and more days trying to improve the dust collection on my cabinet saw. My latest attempt puts a 4" hose very near the blade. It works OK, but I believe that your custom nozzle idea may be just the ticket!

Loved that you incorporated the clamp storage on the bottom side, simple and elegant! Also loved your cam locks on the old table and then new press fit seems reasonable but would think you might still need some under clamping for working larger/longer pieces on the DP. Nice experimenting with the nozzle configs and generally quite sensible design...thank you both for the ideas. Really appreciate your videos and your first hand design mind on them. Thank You Patrick!

As always very entertaining! I also love Hooked on Wood. And Dennis' drill press dust collection caught my attention too. Your verification of this principle of a dust collection convinced me to build one too. Even though it means a huge modification in my tiny shop... And btw thank for your direct converting to metric. So I don't have to stop and calculate the hole time... (Whole inches, quartes and halves are no problem for me, I remember them or can them calculate on the fly, but as soon as there are foot, eighth, sixteenth or thirty-seconds of an inch, I am out! Its no imperial/metric bashing!) Greetings from Germany!

@PatrickSullivan Жыл бұрын

I thought about a sacrificial plate, but discarded the idea because I have gotten in the habit of putting a piece of MDF under my work. In retrospect, I probably should have put in a renewable center plate.

Mr Sullivan, this is awesome. Just a thought. The nozzle for larget bit could be a little thicker on the narrow end, cut a big notch on the bottom, and maybe 1/2" on top to clear the shaft of bits. It will be more of a hood instead of nozzle. I can 3d print one for you so it's not limited by how much material is in a 2" PVC pipe.

@PatrickSullivan Жыл бұрын

Thank you for your gracious offer. I am going to get more experience with the nozzles I have now first. However, I have always thought that 3D printing was the ultimate solution for dust collection fittings and nozzles. And I have no doubt that a nozzle that literally surrounds the bit, as you proposed, would effectively guarantee total dust capture.

@What_Other_Hobbies Жыл бұрын

@@PatrickSullivan I have 3d printed a lot of dust ports for 2 table saws, 2 thickness planers, and planning to do more. It usually took a couple of iterations for each port in each machine. For what I have learned from your videos, making a dust port for you is almost nothing.

@frankhouck4446 10 ай бұрын

Excellent design and well presented. Curious - is that standard schedule 40 PV for DWV? Dry fitting pvc usually doesn’t work as it only fits in 1/4” or and is very tight, the cement acts as a “lube of sorts and chemically softens the material to allow full seating. It’s also pretty thick and doesn’t deform under heat so quickly. Are you using lighter residential drainage pipe or something else?

Why did you remove the space for the cast iron top? Why not secure everything on top of it?

@velcroman11 Жыл бұрын

I think the 90 degree bend under the bench is structurally superfluous. The inside diameter of the bend is greater than the standard pipe diameter.

@PatrickSullivan Жыл бұрын

The only reason for the elbow under the table is to avoid having the shop vac hose pointing straight downward, where it might interfere with lowering the table for a tall work piece. If that never comes up, you could skip the elbow.

@osgeld Жыл бұрын

no offence but I have seen 2 or 3 dust collector projects this month where everyone, including you put the collector on the cutting edge of the rotational cutter, its spinning clockwise the chip ends at "midnight" and gets shot off to the right ... lets put the collector on the left at "nine" and wonder why half the chips are going off to the floor

@velcroman11 Жыл бұрын

I agree with you. I think it’s a mental thing as most people are right handed. They are thinking that the pipe will get in their way. This opinion is not valid in this case because the right hand is controlling the drill and, surprisingly, the left hand is holding the work piece and the nozzle could be in the way of the left hand to safely hold the work piece.

@PatrickSullivan Жыл бұрын

I have spent some time looking at the pattern of chips and dust thrown by a big bit with no dust collector, and it is pretty symmetrically arranged on both the right and left sides of the bit. The reason I put my system on the left is that the rotating arms that lower the quill are invariably on the right. If the PVC pipe is on the right, it would potentially interfere. It might be possible to work around this, but it seemed easier to just put it on the other side.

@osgeld Жыл бұрын

@@PatrickSullivan In all due respect, I do value every trick and technique you have shared with us, and made me personally a better woodworker, greatly. With a shop vac though, try a smaller pipe selection, make it lower profile, maybe more articulated, and mount it about 1-3 o-clock I'm an engineer, I would love yet another side project to goof off on rather than install shelves in the bathroom and fix the fence :p

@intjonmiller 7 ай бұрын

@@PatrickSullivan It's not even a matter of left vs right. EVERY bit cuts all the way around the 360° circle. There is no reason to expect more to come off the left or right or front or back, or even any reason to imagine it to align to cardinal directions at all, unless you add another factor such as airflow, as you have. Mr Engineer telling you it's in the wrong position is telling on himself here. I hope he puts more effort into reasoning through his actual work than he does his KZfaq criticism. 🤦

@RobertGlinka Жыл бұрын

This looks like a great solution, but I would be concerned with the dangers of heating PVC with a heat gun like that, there's some pretty toxic stuff that comes off if you heat it just a little too much.

@PatrickSullivan Жыл бұрын

You can burn PVC pipe with a heat gun. It turns dark brown, and then black. This process begins at about 450° F. However, the plastic starts to become soft at about 200° F, and is soft enough to freely mold at about 250° F. Thus there is about a 200° "cushion" between the working temperature, and the burning temp. It is quite easy to stay out of the burn zone by keeping the heat gun moving, not getting too close to the plastic, and being patient enough to heat the piece slowly. Done this way, there is no odor, and no evidence that the plastic is deteriorating or decomposing. As shop risks go, I would rate this risk as pretty low.
