Salvaged dust collector sucks from old to ols,from a fairly new guy

[Jeff Miller]

Hi everyone great forum,a lot more matuer than most,been reading and looking on here for a wile and learning a lot.

I'v been working on this frankinstine dust collector all winter in my spare time and have around $350.00 in it total with pipeing and everything. Found it at a salvage yard near me cyclone is a torit it had a 3 ph. motor so I found a blower at the same place that would fit it put new bearings in it, runs pretty quiet

This is my shop on the end of my toolshed, shop is 24' x 45'.

For the planer I just pull the flex hose off the bandsaw and stick it on the planer

I'd like to thank everyone in advance for looking and I hope didn't post too many pictuers or bore anyone.


By the way the shop isn't always that clean,I just got done painting some of the cuboards and drawers so I thought it would be a good time to take pictuers


Have a nice day

Nice shop, and a great tour. You must have a knack for finding the old stuff! Jim.

Looks like a good setup. I also see a hint of my favorite color to the left of the cyclone :).

Nice settup, I really like the dust collector setup for the radial arm saw, good idea, think I'll borrow (steal) the design and add a few touches of my own.
