Best dust collection system by far! For Dewalt DW735 Planer 

Seems like the air being pushed into the garbage bin would be trying to expand the garbage bin since it has no way to escape (except for any leaks). This would probably be hard on the extractor motor on the planer, and also decrease the chip extractor efficiency.

Where does the air go if you've got the bin all closed up? Wouldn't that decrease the efficiency of the blower in the thicknesser?

Looks simple & straight forward Thanks for sharing. Top marks, mate.

This is exactly the idea I was looking for! Thank you!

Awesome idea, definitely going to try this! So tired of constantly sweeping haha

I have mine connected to shop vac with cyclone tube and it seems to work just fine. I'm happy because its fast and quick to setup and empty.

This is a brilliant idea. I'll be heading to the hardware shop tomorrow. Thanks so much for sharing this idea.

Nice! Thanks for the video.

Great video. Thanks man👍

Thanks, I'm going to use this on mine

I have a similar set-up. Get the smaller micron bag. I have no problem with dust. Bag fills up fast if you do a lot of planing.

Great video!

I use my dust collector with it and it works fine. I used to use a shop vac and that worked fine as well.

Good idea if you don't have a large dust collector. I have older Dewalt planner that shoots to one side. I hook 4" hose on exhaust port to my dust collector header. Chips go through a small cyclone for collection and rest goes to harbor freight DC. I was going to try your method but hook shop vac to collector barrel with a baffle inside to force Chips down to bottom.

I like it, but I have no issues using a high CFM Shopvac with mine, except of course how fast you fill it. I often just point it into my garden beds then spread the chips lol.

Great solution. Would a hose from the bucket into a small secondary container containing water not only trap small dust particles but also to relieve the pressure?

Looks good. Curious why you say a shop vac or even a 4-inch dust collection hose and suction would cause the chips to clog the back of the dust port on the machine?

Dust Deputy cyclone .. Best Buy I’ve ever made on Amazon

I have seen several of these hooked up to dust collectors and are working well. Seems that the trick is to use a 4” port and hose/piping to the collector though.

Bravo!

Excellent idea. Thanks for sharing. I like how the can will trap most of the dust. Three questions: 1. Does it matter if one uses a 4-6 inch coupling on the bag end of the hose rather than the 4-3 one you used. It seems like the 4-6 would make it easier to hook up the bag due to the big bag opening, assuming one uses an 8-inch clamp or so (which I have). 2. Does it make sense to drill some small holes, so on the underside of the can to allow pressurized air to exit downward (rather than from the top around the lid) where hopefully the little dust that escapes will get trapped on the floor beneath the can and won’t easily float into one’s nose? 3. What size trash can are you using?

I use a shop vac and it works good.

Nice

Funny to run across this. I tried virtually the identical thing. Same adapter and everything. The problem, if you want to call it that, is the chip fan is so powerful it blows the top off the trash can. I tried to bungee it down, still did it. Made a locking system but gave up on that after growing tired of the ten minute process to open and seal it. Tried cutting a vent into the side with a filler on it but that clogs up so quickly that the air pressure pushed the top open again. Then I tried to exhaust it into a cyclone that I installed on top of a locking 55 gallon steel drum. The other end of the cyclone exit i attached a filter. That actually worked very well but I grew tired of the loss in mobility and the space that it took up. I ended up doing the trash can idea like this but with a better twist. Those dustright bags full up extremely quick. You can purchase a 36" X 72" piece of 5 micron filter fabric. Sewed it together to make a bag that acts like a liner for the trash can like you have but with a much larger bag and smaller particle pickup. Then added 6 T-Bolts I had left over from toilet installation for the bungees to easily attach to. Whatever escapes the filter bag just coats the inside of the trash. There is still some dust that escapes but at least this way it's not enough to where you need a respirator.

I wonder if it would help to also hook up your shop vac to the trash can to collect the dust that escapes through the bag? Might not do anything but it might would be fun to try.

Good video. Well done. Quick question. Is there an added benefit to using the dust bag vs having it all just go into the garbage bin? Or is it just for ease of transporting the shavings later?

Take it a step further and hook your shopvac to the trash can. Just a thought.

if i cant get the dust right bag - could i just do the exact same set out just without the bag?

Any idea if the would work on the 734 plainer? I’ve used a shop vac and it keeps clogging. Looking for any solution I can find to get it to not clog.

I use a shop vac no issue at all

I'll be getting this planer soon, and watching all these videos made me think. DeWalt makes this planer, then they think.. Oh we should put a blower motor in it! So now, they take what was a $500 planer, turn it into a $600 planer thus making the consumer pay MORE just to put a dust collection system together for it. It would of been better NOT to put the blower in, and let us use our shop vacs or dust systems to do the work.

My shop vac works great!!!

I wouldn’t say it’s the best but if you are working with little else it does do the trick. I hope you have a dust mask. Be safe.

I use two planers, I use a Delta for the first heavy cuts and I use the Dewalt when I need a smooth as a baby butt surface.

Nice! Is it still working out for you? Thinking of rigging one of these up..also saw that rigid jointer in the background..do you recommend it?

My planer starts kickin dust out from where the dust port in between the blades is? Why would this happen?

I think the confusion everyone is having is that your initial statement was "you can't hook up dust collection to it", which is incorrect. Later you clarified that's it's shop vacs (with smaller diameter hose) that will cause the clogging. 4" hose from a dust collector to the planer should work just fine.

My understanding is the fan in the planer is used not only for chip ejection but also for cooling. Has anyone experienced overheating issues ? Clearly this system, and almost any other dust collection solutions will inhibit the air flow to some extent.

I suggest you take a look at Katz-Moses video on the dangers of small particles related to dust collection.

I hooked up a shopvac and had no issues

Why is a hose into a bag contained within a bin any different to a hose connected to dust extraction unit/shop vac?

Exactly like a bag hoover.

With no exhaust the blower on the planer will eventually burn up. I think the chip flow is greatly reduced with no exhaust. My system uses a 4" hose/pipe from the planer to a 55 gallon drum. My dust collector connects to a separate fitting on the drum. The chips collect in the drum and fines go in the dust collector bag. You need to hook a shop vac to your trash can to help pull air through the system. Also get rid of the bag in the trash can. The chip will drop in the can and the shop vac will pull out the dust.

why the bag, Where is the suction produced from ? Im confused . I run mine thru a shop vac and a dust Cyclone Dust Separator Kit. and a garbage can . no bag

So given you dont vent the trash bin to atmosphere, and the dust bag is inside the bin essentially being sealed in - what is the purpose of the dust bag? Could you not just have a pipe going into the bin, sealed, and get away from having a dust bag at all? If the bag is sealed inside the bin, then what is the bag actually doing other than holding the shavings and dust inside it. Could the bin not do the same thing, and you simply disconnect the hose and empty the entire bin, rather than having to deal with a bag? If the dust cant get out of the bin, what is the bag even doing?

Couldnt you just shoot it all direct into the trash can and silicone around the hose on the lid to keep the dust on? Seems like that would work well and you wouldnt have to be constantly undoing the bag to empty it.

How is the air venting from the trashcan?

Where does the air go though? Doesn't the air pressure build up blow off the lid?

Weird. Sweet system but mine is hooked up to my rigid shop vac and works fine.

Can you use a shop vac filter bag instead of a dust bag?

Remove the impeller and then hook up a shop vac.

Of course you can hook up a dust collector to this. I use it everyday. A 4” hose runs to my system, no problem. I don’t understand why you say it can’t?

I don't need this yet mine is still new in the box with not a single wood chip

How does the air vent out of the trashcan?

Have you tried it without the bag? Just straight into the garbage pail?

what if you just put a garbage bag over the bag and pull the drawstrings of the garbage bag so it tightens around it. bag in a bag.

I don't understand why you would have trouble with a dust collector or shop vac? I use a Ridgid shop vac coupled with a dust stopper with my DW735 and I've never had an issue. This is probably the least messy tool in my shop.

So. Where does it exhaust. Air goes in but where does it come out??

Is that the 15 or the 40 gallon bag?

Do you even need the bag? Why not directly dump in the can?

Why not just use a garbage bag in the can that way when full just throw tha bag away?

Just did a few passes on my brand new 735 to test it out and now I got chips all over my garage 🤣😭

Air still has to escape out of your garbage can and you have no provision for air escape. So in reality you are choking off air flow. Air flow is very important for chip and dust collection. Connecting your Dewalt to an extra dust collector works way better than your system. I know from experience!!

Let me mention AGAIN…the dust gets EVERYWHERE EVERYWHERE

how does the air escape the garbage can. operation is ----The air is captured by the planer blower and used to discharge the particles into the bag so where does the air exhaust go?. the can will pressurize and the air flow will reduce as filter blocks up....I think you are going to have to put a small vacuum hole in the top of the can to let the air purge out of the garbage can into a a vacuum cleaner. free flow air in and an equal amount of air out. Just sayin....

Why would you have to have a bag

Bro you could just as easily just seal the trash can and use it as your bag! By the way look like you blades where bad!

Best I can tell, all you accomplished was ruining a trash can. Where is the air going?
