Thanks! It works great, what would you like to see? I can turn it on and film it getting rid of dust? Have you looked at my blog? There is a lot more info there, let me know if you have any questions about his! - Otto
I haven't seen anyone use an AC fan but I'm sure it could work. The nice thing about using a blower motor is the dust is only going through the blower and not the motor. With a fan the fan blade is usually mounted right on the motor shaft and all the dust has to pass over / under / around the motor. If it's not a sealed motor the dust goes into the motor and can mess it up. Also blowers are much better working against back pressure compared to fans. - Otto
Great video!! I love seeing people turn there junk into something usefull. Looking forward to seeing any improvements you might make! Thanks for posting.
Thanks for checking out my video. So far the dust collector (disperser really) is working great for what I need it for. I might make a better one now that I have moved into a cleaner neighborhood. Here my neighbors actually wash their cars and don't appreciate that fresh cut wood smell a fine coat of sawdust brings. - Otto
@OttoBelden If I ever make a homemade wooden one I will definetly post it for you to look at as well. Glad to hear your moving up in the world! LOL! Hope your still having Fun!
I'm glad that you found my video useful! Send me a link to your dust collector when you get it built if you decide to put it up on the net. I'd like to see what you are doing. There is more info on my blog about this dust collector as well, there are links in the video description.
Look up do it yourself cyclone dust collection. THAT is the way to go for do it yourself. You will be able to use your squirl cage blower assembly to do the job. It is great.
I built this collector with parts I had in my garage so essentially the cost to me for this project was $0.00 - I'm sure there are better ways to go about this but cost was the main objective here. I like your suggestions and I'll do a little research on dust collection systems!
@OttoBelden - Thanks for the response. The cyclone is very simple to make out of what you already have and some home made stuff. You would not have to buy a cyclone device, just look at it and with your ingenuity, you will have a cyclone in no time. From all I have read about dust collection systems the cyclone is simple and most effective. Good luck and let me know if you make one and post it.
Not what I would call a radial blower but I could be wrong in the terminalogy. The container will fill too fast for most machine applications. A suggestion would be to remove the filter & leave the pool filter cone for large stuff. Make the blower wheel/motor assembly accessible & instead of cleaning the filter, just clean the blower wheel blades with a brush. That would take about the same effort. Let the birds and bees distribute the rest of the mess or rake it & distribute it yourself?
Thanks for checking out my video. You are right about the container filling up on big projects, I just do weekend projects and it works for me. I like your suggestion of removing the particulate filter and leaving the pool filter. I'll look into that! I called the "fan" I'm using a radial blower because that is what the MFG of the fan calls it, here is the model number: McLean engineering 1NB412-115. I'll check out the cyclone system you mentioned as well.
@OttoBelden - Those squirl cage blower wheel really can move some air as you know. They supply a great suction as long as the exhaust is not too restricted. The squirl cage wheel would probably require less attention than filter material. Thanks for taking the suggestions in the spirit it was intended. Some posters of videos get really ugly when someone points out a possible improvement or a flaw. Of course some commenters are just assholes in their comments. Good luck, keep putting up videos.
@specialks1953 - No thank you for the suggestions! I appreciate folks taking a look at my projects and offering suggestions and comments - that's why I take the time to post them. I'll have a look at the cyclone system and if I make one I'll post a video and a blog post. Every video I make has a blog post associated with it, but not every blog post has a video, so you can check out the blog for updates to whatever it is I am doing. Thanks again!!
Love the idea!
I know you posted this a while ago but it would be cool to see it in action.

I did look (quickly) at your blog. I will give it another glance.
Yeah! lets see it kill some dust hehe...
My precise question is:
Can this be a good at the source dust elimination for sanding and grinding?!

@okkrom Thanks! Maybe I'll make a video and show it sucking up the dust! - Otto

Very good idea, I have heard one can use an air conditioner fan but have not seen this used in a shop.
Thank you.
