At the end, when you were describing the other benefits to having the hole in drilled in your workbench, I realized that it could be really useful for cleaning up your workbench. To your point, the downdraft really only works for finer dust. If you had larger chips or shavings from using, say, a router or a handplane on your workbench, presumably, you could just sweep the chips in the bin with the shop vac turned on. Seems like it would make clean-up a lot easier!

@Iliketomakestuff 9 лет назад

+David Lenz It does! I use it for that as well :)

@davidharris8171 9 лет назад

I built one of these last year as a stand alone. It sure make a big difference to my lungs and eyes. I don't know how often others find themselves in a cloud of dust but this is a great way to better take care of yourself.

@woodworkingtao4246 9 лет назад

Clean, simple and effective. Not to mention a good re-use of materials you had on hand. Great job! Thanks!

@eternalfizzer 6 лет назад

This is brilliant - I'm using an old formica kitchen counter as my workbench, and I got tired of the sink (which I realized I'm never plumbing in), so I just removed it and blanked it off with a scrap piece of MDF. Your insert solves 2 problems: controlling wood & metal dust in the room and making a flush counter.(I'll just have to glue up some cleats underneath to attach it.) Thanks!

@ponzll4037 9 лет назад

I've been looking to make one of these for the last few days, and then this popped up on my homepage. Now I'm debating whether to continue with the small box version like I planned, or to cut into my workbench to do it the way you did! Very nice work by the way!

@RussellGilder 9 лет назад

Nice work man. I've been wanting to turn an outfeed table into a downdraft for a while now. Good to see you and the little lady this weekend. Keep on making on!

@ivanmills7664 9 лет назад

I made a free standing down draft that was always in the way so I repurposed it. I like this one, time for a new one. Awesome video. Thanks.

@paulm5873 9 лет назад

to stop blow out when using a hole saws on mdf, or on any material, you can drill half way on one side then the remainder from the other side.

@skullwidget6958 7 лет назад

you could take a carpet with rubber underneath and cut it into strips or cut out a few squares that the dust goes away. That way the workpiece won't slide around when sitting on top of the carpet. PS I really like watching your videos.

@raed6494 6 лет назад

This could be made to work with a bench top table saw, especially older models that don’t have dust collection. Would you still use peg holes? How would you update it?

@iceman22st 9 лет назад

I just found your channel yesterday, and now you're quitting? Did I do that? Just kidding. I noticed the way you do the plunge cuts, and must say, it's dangerous! You should always do a plunge cut with the blade adjusted to just penetrate the wood you're cutting, and you should always start with the front of the shoe against the surface. The way you do it has a good chance of kickback. Love your work.

@duckworks 9 лет назад

Great video! Just curious why you reset the table saw to cut each side of the 18 x 18 inch panels?

@Iliketomakestuff 9 лет назад

Chuck Leinweber Ah, keen eye! My box was actually 18"x18 1/8" because of a dumb mistake concerning the framing of my table. It didn't seem worthwhile to try to explain that in the video, as it wouldn't apply to anyone else hopefully.

@dixie_rekd9601 7 лет назад

hey you can even use it to clamp large boards down....... kinda

@MyVinylRips 6 лет назад

Thanks a lot! Great video, well explained! Any thoughts on what might be the optimal hole sizes here? I'm about to make a downdraft area in my workbench and I'd like the holes to big enough to catch dust from sawing as well as maybe shavings from hand planing etc, but still not so large that screws etc fall into it. I'm thinking 15-18 mm holes. Any comments?

@keenaheaton8853 9 лет назад

Great video, brilliant idea to just put it in the workbench. And I had a similar table saw a few years ago and it made me want to strangle kittens. That may be a euphemism.. Maybe not. Lol

@Iliketomakestuff 9 лет назад

Keena Heaton HA, I totally understand :) I'm currently considering an upgrade. And by considering, I mean, am definitely going to upgrade.

@TravisLucia 9 лет назад

I Like To Make Stuff I just upgraded from the same table saw to a Sawstop Contractor saw. I added the 36 in fence and cast iron wings but given your space im sure you could make a saw stop work without the additional rip capacity.

@Iliketomakestuff 9 лет назад

Travis Lucia That's actually what I'm planning on getting! I'd love the 36", but it's just a little too big for my space.

@matiasgoinheix366 5 лет назад

I always did the plunge cut the other way around, pivoting on the front of the saw. Is that wrong?

@DIYTyler 9 лет назад

Would like to say I had a similar idea before I watched so when it's in my upcoming epic assembly/ outfeed/ downdraft table video I am not copying!! AWESOME work Bob I Like To Make Stuff Can I ask what type of camera and lenses you use?

@Iliketomakestuff 9 лет назад

***** :) I definitely was not the first one to do it, so if you are copying, so am I :) Sure thing, I have a Canon t2i with e stock lense and a macro adapter.

How strong is the center area of that peg board? Seems like it would bow or cup over time.

@cakec9 9 лет назад

Hi Bob. I cant tell how much I enjoy your channel. I am an avid fan of all the stuff you make and inspires me a lot. Unfortunately I live in a tiny apartment in NY and I dont have any place for any tools. All I own is a drill and an electric stapler. I understand that I can get all the wood precut to dimensions etc from any stores like HomeDepot but for a total amateur like me and who was brought up in a home, where everything I touched was made of expensive wood like Teak, Rosewood etc, I lack the understanding of millions of options that are available. When I saw MDF at my local hardware store, it appeared weak and I did not like it so much. Could you please do a video explaining the various materials and their pros and cons that you regularly use. People like me would really appreciate that. Oh btw, you can find a simple haptic system I built several years ago in my channel.

@drn1023 8 лет назад

Just found your page. Love it. An additional use for this box would be to get a piece of 1/4" Plexi or safety glass either to fit or in a frame to fit. One of the small LED hand held spotlights inside the box and you've got a light table.

Great video Bob !!! I will be doing this to my Work bench .... I always figured I would build a whole diffident downdraft table ... Now I didn't have to... THANKS it was GREAT talking to you at WWIA, it's amazing how much I got out of our conversation there, and how I have learned and been inspired by of the people I have found thanks to you content .... KEEP BEING AWESOME ...your music is pretty cool too

@davidgiesfeldt6650 Год назад

SUGGESTION… use the peg board as a guide for drilling larger holes with greater but consistent spacing. These can double for bench dog/hold downs/jigs and down draft. With the 1/4in center drill bit on an appropriately sized hole saw, you can quickly layout a grid… using two layers of material (your choice) or even scrap LVL you can find in a job site dumpster you get a solid top that does both work and dust abatement!

@thewhistlerswoodshop5897 9 лет назад

I used to run a Slitter, a machine that cuts gigantic rolls of paper into smaller rolls of paper. The splice board was made of two downdraft boxes to hold the paper in place while you removed scrap and put in the splice. There were also some clamps and a cutting groove... anyhow, a downdraft table can be used to hold things in place. If you place paper that naturally wants to curl on that box it will lay flat. It can come in handy where you might otherwise need tape, but you don't want to use tape. I had not considered using it as part of the dust collector. That is a great idea! Bill

@matthewmarcus1849 8 лет назад

I really enjoy these videos on ILTMS. Every single video, or at least 99% are entertaining with the music and quick clips of each step, while also informative to help teach people the ins and outs of making things. I always enjoyed puzzle solving and making things, but these videos have made me want to get involved with making cool practical real life things and I plan on trying when I have the room and resources to get started.

@geraldedwards7790 9 лет назад

Hi Bob, I've made my you tube public so you and others can see. Am having really big trouble getting this to work right.... I was thinking maybe as your the man that likes to make things...... maybe you could design and make a 90" x 24" downdraft table of course video the whole thing. I've been looking at centrifugal fans ect and just don't know how am going to make it work. confused.com

@tmduke55221 5 лет назад

Thank you for this video, I had plan to turn a portable desk/TV tray into my work station and I am planning on fitting a in take box in it, kind of like you did with your table. Only issue no supports, so I was thinking of just using straps to hold it into place, so that when time comes I can remove the box fold everything back up and put the box back in when I have finished using it. My problem, I am just starting out so no scrape wood, no table saw to cut anything down to size. I plan to make it 10"x 10" X 2", any suggestions? Yes this will be used in a very small place, I even plan to make sides to it to help contain the dust.

@ryanomalley8201 5 лет назад

Why would you start a plunge cut off the back of the circsaw? Line your marks up with the clearly marked and often notched FRONT side main shoe, an plunge from front-down. You’re dangerous and teaching other to be dangerous.

@themusicbook8679 4 года назад

So to be clear for this complete newbie: a table like this is sufficient enough that I do not need a dust mask, correct? Even in a small room? I mean, it seems logical that zero dust would escape into the air, especially dangerous particulates. I just need to hear it said outright before I embark on this remodel (for power carving wood in my case). Thank you (I could just buy an air hockey table and turn the fan around HAHA)

@davephillips9258 9 лет назад

Bob, I liked the project, more over I liked the way you structured your video. Direct and straight to the point with no BSing around and not overly wordy. Stay with that and I'm a fan for life.

@ivanmills7664 9 лет назад

Very, I never thought about putting it in the work bench. Just the idea is awesome. My reply within a comment doesn't work. I am using a Kindle, it's all I have now.

@willallen9888 5 лет назад

Bob, what was the purpose for making an angled box instead of a 4"x4" box? Does that improve down draft? My fiancee makes pottery, so hoping to make this for her pottery bench. Thanks.

@WoodFrontier 8 лет назад

Don't know how I missed this one when it came out, but it looks fantastic. I might have to consider making one. I especially liked how you mentioned using it for finishing projects as well.

@ConstructIcon 9 лет назад

Great project Bob! I built a stand alone unit 2ft by 4ft table, but I like this built in one also. Btw I like that tapering jig, do you possible have an item # or exact name? I checked HF online and could not find. Thanks for sharing.

@JimCoogan_CoogansWorkshop 9 лет назад

I like it. I have a downdraft box I created using the Rockler panels they sell and their free plan. It works out great for sanding nut an unexpected benefit is when I need to do something larger I set the box on its edge and it collects dust as I sand to the side of it. But I was just thinking recently I would like to have one in my bench top, under my lathe, and one under my scroll saw. Thanks for the reminder :-)

@infinati 9 лет назад

Very nice! I will be upgrading all of my Makerspace workbenches to have downdraft systems now :D

@TobyKennedy 9 лет назад

This is great Bob, and you're right - the versatility of the various inserts you could build make this a really appealing project.

@twistedfeature6696 3 года назад

I’m new to this maybe this is a stupid question.😂 why is using a downdraft box better then a regular one if you’re already using a dust collecting system?

@NoCoolNamesRemain 9 лет назад

I hate to criticize but doing a plunge cut with a circular saw _in that way_ is very dangerous. The saw can very easily ride back out of the cut and towards you! If you want to make this type of cut place the *front*, never the back, of the saws table on the work-piece and hold it there firmly while plunging.

@samanthanicholson9015 4 года назад

Where did you hook up the vacuum to? Does this just work with gravity? Thanks let me know I plan on making a table for sanding and our table saw.

@Aikidoman06 6 лет назад

I built one from your idea. It works great but only covers a small area. I then went to my work bench where my tabletop sanders are located. I put 1/2 holes in a 2" grid pattern and set it up to receive my shopvac. It works great, but I have to sweep some dust across the top. It greatly cut down on airborne dust and sped up the clean up to a few seconds! Thanks!

@CastilloKing520 9 лет назад

I Like To Make Stuff I would like to request a project that I have been wanting to build for sometime. I would like to see of you could make a video in building a winewell microchiller using some sort of old refigerator unit. I've have a5 gallon water chiller but not sure how to convert it. Please let me know if you are interested and I can send you a link of a few wine wells I've seen only but they are expensive.

If you get a regular pressure cooker and a cheap vacuum pump its make something to take out the bubbles. It does take a few items but you could make a video on it. Gauge hose etc

I build a similar one a while back and ended up tossing it because it was "Just another thing to store.." It would be nice to have something like this built in. Nice style and good marketing at the end.
