Anyone with a big dust collector hook up that 4" (or greater) to the 1F?

Terry, can you share the model of your Wynn canister filter for your HF (2 HP, I assume) and how it fits? It’s tough to find a consensus on an exact filter, so I’m guessing there might be several that fit and it’s just a matter of what you have space and money for. Or I could be wrong :slight_smile:

Hey Max,

you mean in the same forum, here :slight_smile:

I think the topic is important, but why didn’t you open a new topic? E. g. with title “Cyclonic dust separator and 2.5 micron dust bag filter do not retain MDF dust”?

Neither the topic Anyone with a big dust collector hook up that 4” (or greater) to the 1F? nor the topic Dust collection options. Help really matches, but with the latter, it’s okay that it’s there, and it’s not okay that you now spread around and split up the topic everywhere.

Also, as I also tried to explain in the other thread, no one expects a dust bag filter or a cyclonic separator to filter out the finest part of MDF dust.

I think you started it here and there are already multiple follow-ups there.

I think there are good reasons why in the forum’s rules it say:

Keep It Tidy

Make the effort to put things in the right place, so that we can spend more time discussing and less cleaning up. So:

  • Don’t cross-post the same thing in multiple topics.
  • Don’t divert a topic by changing it midstream.

I bought the 35B222NANO canister kit and it works fine. It’s a touch smaller than the diameter of the main “ring” but it works just fine.

Sorry that I am not as knowledgeable about the forum as others but it was obvious from the discussions several people really didn’t know what works and doesn’t work with dust collection. Give us newbies a chance to learn

Hey Max,

I think the topic of what is the best dust collection and what works best for Onefinity is an important topic. I am no moderator or admin, I just wanted to point out the disadvantages of spreading topics over different places and especially starting them twice.

Of course there already exist many topics split and spread around, but you can see that then cross-references are the best way to interconnect them, by inserting a little link pointing the reader to more threads of a similar topic.

What I think is best, especially for visitors who will later find the discussion via the search engine, is the following approach: If your post fits well an existing topic, it’s good to contribute there, and if there doesn’t exist something matching exactly, don’t be afraid to start a new topic (and name the subject to fit it nicely, and also choose a category).

Looking forward to interesting discussions!

Just spray it all at my driveway. Only once has it been an issue, when I forgot to empty can.

What are we looking at here? And by cyclone, do you mean a Dust Deputy (https://www.oneida-air.com/dust-deputy) or one of their Dust Collectors (https://www.oneida-air.com/dust-collectors)? Dust Deputies don’t do the work, they just provide inertial separation. Oneida’s Dust Collectors integrate an inertial separator with a fan, but then you have to provide some plumbing.

I would argue (in my limited experience with the 1F and a Deputy) that any shopvac/tiny DC you hook up to a Deputy is pro’ly insufficient to the task at hand. They sell bigger Deputies that can be hooked up to a bigger DC, but garbage in garbage out (the fines probably won’t separate out due to the physics of inertia, so you’ll need a really good filter in series).

YMMV, my insights are worth what you paid me for them…

I was also referring to the 2 micron bag

Noob here too,
I got an adapter at Rockler to go from 4" to 2 1/2. Works great.
the suck it is 2 1/2 through 6’ then 4 " to the DC

I recently upgraded to a spindle so I had to make a new dust boot. I’ve posted my 4" front mount dust boot on the “Items for Sale” if anyone is interested.

My dust collector pulls >2000cfm in my shop. I’ve got a 4" host hooked up to my boot and need to open at least 2 other blast gates on the system so the bristles don’t get pulled up. I don’t ever have any mess except for those rare instances I’m surfacing the spoilboard and the edges get flattened. Even then it’s a pretty tiny amount.

If your DC input has anything less than a 4" hose coming from it, you’ll see pretty quickly diminishing returns if you go to a larger (4") diameter hose downstream.
