Hey there welcome to Rob's Custom Woodshop. My name is Rob and I'm a heavy duty truck and trailer mechanic. I love what I do, most days I swear the is more oil and grease on me then there is on the trucks, but I wouldn't change a thing. Then there is the after work me where I get cleaned up and go out to my Shop and cover myself in saw dust and that's the part of me I want to share. I am no professional and I'm sure to make lots of mistakes. So watch as I make my way through DIY's , Home Renos , Custom wood projects and much much more . So come along for the ride and if you like what you see subscribe , leave a comment , give us a like and don't forget to hit the notification bell so you see when I upload a new video . Thank you and hope to see you on my next project .
Hi rob pura vida.at the end I have a question do you recommend this Dewalt 618 in order to use with big router bits like panel router bits? Let me know thanks or I need a router with a most power motor than DWt 618.thankd rob
Quick fix - flip the box fan so it hangs down from the flanges below the box rather than in the box to get some air flow (too restricted now). Also I would be concerned with the fan exhaust close to the intake - seems like you would mostly recirculate the same air through the fan filters in a loop.
In my experience, T9 works best as a rust inhibiter, rather than remover. I first clean my cast iron tables with WD40 and scotchbrights and/or fine grit wet/dry sandpaper on a sanding block. Once the rust is removed, I clean the oily surfaces with acetone and a cloth rag. I then apply a thin film of T9 and spread it with a gloved hand, to ensure that it is worked into the pores of the cast iron. I then follow the manufacturer’s instructions and LET IT DRY!!! It does not appear that you did this. Even if you need to let it sit overnight, LET IT DRY completely. When dry, it will leave a waxy surface that you then wipe or buff off with cloth rags or towels. This may take some elbow grease, but it works well in my non-air conditioned shop in Houston’s heat and constant 80%+ humidity.
Good video dewalt 618 fixt base in router table is best table router you can get do I have the triton 2400w in table and it's a monster I prefer the dewalt
Bought mine from Amazon. Showed up missing the 1/2 collet, wrote to the third party seller. They respond all arrogant ant doughtfull and so i just had enough with them. Its made in mexico so why its so surprising to the seller that its missing a part is pretty anal on their part. I’ll buy one for $15 but thats just what you get with amazon, third party seller and made in shit hole mexico.
That would be something to try just not sure if I'd want to carry a dehumidifier back and forth to the home in winter ,but it would be an idea worth trying
yeah theyre all correct - look up .,.. i think its called a camporella cube or something - same concept same fan, but instead of all that woodwork you tape four filters together on a cardboard base and mount the fan on top. moves about 540 ft3/min ... and you can build it out of 4 20x20x2 merv 13 filters - ultra light - ultra portable - ultra cheap
There's too much restriction - as others said, the holes from the filter area to fan are too small. Also the air is having to change direction too much. Moving through the filter, it has to flow thru the narrow, rectangular gaps. Turbulence is created by that shape. Try making those openings larger & rounded. If air can impact a surface before being pulled on through, you are making spots for eddy currents & thus drag. Box fans can move a lot of air, but at relatively low static pressure. Restrictions eat up this pressure more, leaving the fan to spin inefficiently. Hope this helps. Love the idea. Researching others builds & this us the best option I've seen for my shop (low ceiling & garage doors to avoid). Thanks!
Really appreciate that you show the finished project at the beginning of the video, and especially that you talk about your mistakes as well as your process.
Sweet build Rob. I think I may have to try that. I'm starting a small collection of router bits that need a home. This project is cool. Thanks for sharing this with us.
That would all depend on what items you are talking about Drill bits I would remove one self and drill closer holes ,If it were sand paper id flip it over so the shelfs were angled the othere way ,if it were tools I would alter the depth and height
Hi Rob. Great job. do you find the use of 4" pvc pipe reduces you air flow. I have the same dust collector and used 4" and found I had poor suction at the table saw. Any suggestions?
I did find that as well . first thing i did was use tape to seal up my saw best I could didn't really help then I notice if I left a gate open to a tool on the other drop my air flow increased significantly so now i always have a second drop open no matter what tool i'm using . Hope that helps
@@RobsCustomWoodshop Nice job, Rob. I have a 1200 CFM Jet dust collector that uses a filter instead of a bag. I put a Super Dust Deputy Deluxe in just ahead of the dust collector. After filling the Dust Deputy bin twice I still have just a couple of tablespoons worth of sawdust in the DC's plastic bag and the filter stays clean. I did the same for my Shop Vac with the little Dust Deputy kit and the results are amazing compared to the way the Shop Vac filter was clogging before.
I found it's best to give your tops a good cleaning first, WD, brake fluid, what have you and wet/dry sandpaper. I finish off by buffing with steel wool and WD. Wipe down with naphtha, let dry then apply boeshield. Now all I do is give an occasional touch up with the Boeshield. I do have a climate controlled shop which helps. Until you can eliminate the condensation, I think you always have a battle. I did enjoy your video. Looks like a great shop. Take care.
I like the shape - it looks cool. Im curious about one thing though. Look at time marker 5:50. I am assumming the fan is blowing downward and the air is being pulled INTO the filters from the shop. Look at how the fan housing is blocking the cutout. Do you think this is to blame for the disappointment you mention at the end of the video.
