Easy and inexpensive DIY automated dust collection

[DIYTheArtofWood]

Hello everyone. I've been slowly designing and building a dust collection system in my shop one piece at a time and I recently discovered this pretty slick product that is an inexpensive plug and play device to automate your dust collection. I've been using them for a while now, and they work great. In case you are wondering this video is not a sponsored video, I am not being paid to promote this product. I bought these myself and am so impressed with how they work, that I made this video to share with all the woodworkers and DIYers out there that you can have automated dust collection in your shop without having to pay a fortune.

Happy woodworking!

Hi,

Thanks from me too; an excellent product that I could certainly make good use of; my bandsaw is a dirty machine and would benefit from decent extraction so it will be the first to sort out.

My chum recently bought a very cheap cyclone through eBay and has rigged this up to run with his dust extractor; very little dust goes into the extractor now and I'm going to get around to installing my own cyclone but this switch will be a huge bonus.

That's great. It seems like fighting sawdust is a battle impossible to win. But we try.
