Matt I think I would be rolling that bin out on a dolly and emptying it outside rather than getting the cloud of fine stuff coming back in the air right in front of your face. Really defeats the purpose of having small quantities of fines all of the time by having a lot for a little while.
Yeah, I've definitely got to perfect my system for this Greg, but consider: prior to getting the dust processor ALL the dust ended up in the shop air ALL the time. 😳😁😎 Best, Matt
Matt, I like how the system performs. As I watched you clean the filters, I thought of an adapter to take the place of the screw on caps. Adapter screws on, hose is attached, machine is turned on, twist the handle a few times. It may reduce the dust blowing into the shop. Just a thought! It looks like a great system. Keep those videos coming. Your work is amazing!! Thanks for sharing.
Excellent thought Walter! Now you've got me thinking of a 'Y' manifold with a blast gate... would save extra fuss with the screw caps plus eliminate the 'little puff of dust' when the cap is removed before the hose is in place... thanks! Best, Matt
@@walterzink7594 I love brainstorming with 'thinkers' like you... no fear of presenting unique thoughts... thank you! If you see a video with something along these lines shown in it you'll know it started with your comment! Best, Matt
Wow that thing collects dust brilliantly. Wish there was a system I could set up easily on small sites that last just a couple of days, would be invaluable. Great machine and great video, many thanks for sharing this with us 👍
There may be such a machine but I'm not aware of it and, at 450 lbs this is only 'portable' on smooth hard floors where it can be rolled. Someday maybe? Best, Matt
I'm impressed at how quickly and easily that saw ripped through a long 2x6 at the end! Cutting inch-and-a-half length ways takes a lot of push for most table saws.
Thanks for commenting on this video Andrie ... I'm going to brag a little bit here but with a sharp blade it will Rip 8/4 Oak as easily as it did that inch and a half Pine. For a productive woodworking shop it is essential to have machines that perform so that they are not the rate limiting factor on a project. I don't mean to belittle your comment with mine because believe me every table saw I've ever worked with has not been so capable. 😀😎 Best, Matt
@@NextLevelCarpentry That is why folks that can, step up to cabinet type saws with their 3 and 5 hp motors like your Unisaw. Many a woodworker started with a contractor saw.
@@GFSwinger1693 I wish I had pictures of the antique old Craftsman I started out with as my first tablesaw! I inherited it from a brother in law and used it until I scored a great deal on my near-new Unisaw in 1982... can't EVEN count the number of times it's paid for itself over the decades since!
If you're in the market for dust collection you should at least consider it... it's not for everyone or every shop but some times it the best way to go. Best, Matt
This was very helpful. This dust collector has some great features for shops, like mine, with space constraints. It looks like most of your hose is flexible rather than rigid. I would be interested to see more about your installation. Thanks for your videos! Greg
Check out the recent unboxing video and also the one that shows unboxing and hooking up those flex hoses. It's working out nicely so far but I suspect I'll be tweaking things as time goes on. Glad you like the videos here... Best, Matt
My dear mother was an elementary school teacher for decades and would be gratified to hear your assessment of her son, Lightning... thank you! Best, Matt
That is a really efficient dust collection system, and doubt there are any as good as it is at removing that much fine particulate matter. Mike O. Alabama
My greatest disadvantage is having zero previous experience with dust collectors but everything I've seen and learned so far tells me your assessment is correct Mike. I'll sure let viewers know if I find out otherwise. Best, Matt
That thing is pretty cool.... It looks like a modern type of still for making moonshine or white liquor. But also looks like its the most expensive piece of equipment in the shop....like the price of an ATV. But that's how it is these days, if you want to eat, live or stay healthy, it's gonna cost way more than not living healthy. Great video sir. And the fact that it keeps all the super fine dust powder out of the air makes it nice....cause the doctors can't get that stuff back out of your lungs once it gets in there.
Never owned a still Jenky... but it is one heckuva dust collector! Glad you liked the video... BTW I did an unboxing of this machine awhile back... in case you're interested and haven't seen it already. Best, Matt
Thanks Paul... 'nice' is all a matter of perspective, right? Your Harbor Freight model is infinitely better than every dust collection system I've had before this one! Best, Matt
@@NextLevelCarpentry That's good to hear. I try to get products that meet my needs and budget. The HF model I have seems to work ok for my personal needs. Thanks for the reply.
I will never buy one of those, out of my league, as is most things Matt does, but I can't help myself, I watched the whole video. enjoyed it very much, like most of his videos.
That's a very nice comment and compliment Steven... thank you. I'm going to throw some 'positive mental attitude' at you and say 'better to shoot for the moon and only make it to the streetlight than to aim for the streetlight and never leave the ground'! I expect you achieve other great things in your life and that 'one of these' isn't on your priority list, but, if it is, I hope you surprise yourself by accomplishing more than you set out to! Glad you like videos here... Best, Matt
You should have a good set of cloth bags with drawstrings made for inside the bin, that would help with the reuse as well as you wouldn't have to mess with the rubber band.
For that matter, if you are just going to throw them out, do you even need a bag? Or are the bins not removable so you can pick them up and throw it out?
Nice system! I'm very impressed with Gyro Air! They make a great product. I'd love a 5 gallon pail of that wood flour, not as good as bonds but cheap! You really must breathe easy now! If I can only convince the wife! But she always says "sell one of your motorcycles". Maybe I will!
Wish you lived close... I could fix you up with about 30 gallons a week of that stuff sennest. Not sure I'd make the motorcycle/dust processor choice very easily either! Best, Matt
Matt, That Dust Collector is Amazing! and You're right about the Fine Powder, I have Reznors Hanging down from the Ceiling 2 of em, in my shop. Gas Fired Heat Exchangers... The Local Code Enforcement People came by this past Tuesday. this Officer insisted that I show certs that the Heaters had a Yearly cleaning... I thought he was Totally Nuts. whelp I had my heat guy come in and Holy Smokes! Brother You're Right! Even with FOUR 1200 Cfm Collectors in the shop, each to Specific Stations, that 5 Micron Dust was up in the Heaters and More So Probably In Me! Maybe the cost of that Fancy Loookin Box is worth it and Not the Lung Doctor... I've seen that at the Wooding Shows but Didn't think is was That Efficient... I'm Sold Brother... Wow!
Hey Joe, I cleaned out the Reznor in the new shop last summer... there was dust from metalwork the previous owner did but, with your advice, I'll make sure I give it a thorough cleaning again. I'm going to make an 'air scrubber' for the shop one of these days anyways though. Best, Matt
Thanks Les... so far I'm more than pleased with it. I suspect it will just keep getting better as I get used to working with a dust collector after decades without the extra 'bother'. Best, Matt
Good stuff. Looks as if the G700 is doing a great job. That fine wood dust can irritate badly when inhaled and good to see Harvey capturing it easily. Look forward to the sawhorse with storage videos as well. Peace of Lord Jesus upon you and yours
If you're considering an upgrade you should at least consider a Gyro Air Ball Boy... it's not for everyone's shop but it's as advanced a design as I've seen. Let me know if you have any questions? Best, Matt
@@OffRoad-jh1do I'm afraid that's a bit too optimistic... it might fit under a workbench but is just walked out to the shop and measured it and it's a full 34" high. You need to be able to rotate the filter cleaning knobs, etc so it wouldn't be good to wedge it in anywhere. It will fit places in a shop none of the others will though so if there's anything else just holler?
@@OffRoad-jh1do hey thanks... I'm at a crossroads in life and career with high hopes the 'new normal' is building videos for RU-vid rather than catering to snooty designers so, with any luck, I'll take 'full shop mode' to a whole new level in the months ahead... thanks to engaged viewers like yourself! Best, Matt
given the near 5k price tag of that dust removal system I had not given it much consideration... o.k. I had not even bothered reading the specs on it, but I must say... that was an impressive demonstration. I wonder if you could connect a drop line or two to the cleanout ports with a blast gate on them so all you have to do for cleanup is open the gate and turn the knob several times, then let it cycle for a few minutes before closing the gates again. it would become a closed loop system.
Following the same thought process I made a "Y" manifold for the dust ports which serves the purpose you describe... great minds think alike, right Matt?! I showed it briefly in a video but I forget which one it is exactly. You might stumble across it in another NLC video if you end up watching others... Best, matt
Loving that dust collector you have, wish I could justify one. Anyhow I could use all that dust on all the ice on the ground we have out here right now in WI... LOL
Hello Matt. I have recently found your channel and love the way you teach and show everything, warts and all. Do the dust bins actually need bags in them if you are transferring the dust to another bag anyway?
Welcome to Next Level Carpentry Ray. FYI the bags are not technically required but make emptying bins much simpler. It seems a bit counter intuitive but the bags supplied are surprisingly sturdy so I empty them many dozens of times before they need to be replaced so I can dispose of shaving in disposable trash bags that are far less expensive and have more capacity. Hope that helps... Best, Matt
What I am wondering is how many hours roughly do you need to clean the machine???? What is the CFM of the machine and how loud is the machine too ??? Would you recommend the item to other woodworkers ??? Thanks
Hey Victory First, this video will answer some of your questions: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-z4PKD-9y_bY.html I'm completely satisfied with the Gyro Air G700 dust processor for modest sized shops where permanent overhead ductwork just isn't feasible. FYI I can't hear the dust processor running over any of the power tools in my shop.. it's THAT quiet. The sound of rushing air makes conversation difficult but it's not an unpleasant noise. Circle back to me if you want/need more info? Special pricing makes now a great time to purchase and if you go through Nextlevelcarpentry.shop I'll give you free shipping... Best, Matt
You're throwing away man glitter?! MARKET IT! Make that NLC man glitter PAY. LOL Just trying to help Matt. Thanks for the video. Great info, as usual. 👍
I think you're on to something here John... we need to talk! I'm thinking the guys at DuhWALT could recycle this into Board Stretching powder for the BS1000 and sell it by the ton! Best, Matt
Wow!! I don't know what you will do with all your time now?? All that dust you are not having to clean up.. So is this Dust Processor a good addition to the shop?
Dust processor is a good and necessary addition to the shop but, after decades of not having to mess with hoses, etc I'm still getting used to it... probably like doctors who began in times before surgical gloves... Best, Matt
Is there not a way to recycle the dust into something useful such as “fire wood logs” Matt...??? Just a thought as I watch programs like How it’s Made and they show stuff like that being processed. All the best Matt...😎😎👍👍👍
Yeah... I must be a little crazy for leaving THAT in the video, right Clyde? I wanted viewers to see what can happen though. I think I've 'overwhelmed' the system a few times by running tablesaw and jointer without the dust processor running. Then, when I turn the dust processor on, there's a sizeable surge of sawdust that it can't 'swallow' all at once so much less than 99.9% of it spins out in the bins. What I'll be watching for is times when the machine 'chokes' on a surge of sawdust that is prematurely clogging the filters. Live and learn... all for the benefit of viewers so THEY don't have to re-make my mistakes. Best, Matt
No, I didn't JR. You can get a pretty good look at the setup in this video in case you want to make something similar: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vHv-yO-kiTQ.html It's worth doing but requires advanced maker skills if you have them or are up for a challenge. Best, Matt
I've spent a lot of hours working in the shop since getting the dust processor Ed but I suppose it's only run 10~20 hours? I leave it 'powered up' longer than that but actual run time is much less. As evidence that I'm still 'getting to know' this machine I didn't realize that front filter was plugged up until I started shooting the video... embarrassing, I know, but that's the truth. Good news is that with a simple 'self clean' procedure it's all good to go! Best, Matt
@@NextLevelCarpentry I say go for it you have your three levels, your flagship product of course youe new and improved of fine and the latest and greatest as seen on TV EXTRA FINE
Definitely sweet tuckpoint2. From strictly a dollar cost viewpoint it's at the upper end but when I considered other factors this machine is the best value and the only workable solution I found... Best, Matt
@@tuckpoint2 at some point a guy starts thinking 'go big or go home' right? Just depends on what ya choose to 'go big' with and when to just go home😁😎 Best, Matt
The problem with Harvey is they are sending all this free stuff to RU-vidrs to demonstrate. I ordered a dust collector and if said it would ship in about a month in a half. again I knew it ahead of time so I had no issue. They charged me fully instantly and it posted. A week later I decided to go with Oneida. I cancelled and they wanted to keep 5% for cancellation. I don’t care that it was their “policy”. It handing shipped and wouldn’t for 90 days so I shouldn’t have been charged. It shouldn’t charge until it ships.
So I clicked your link for that sahweet dust collector, and while I would sure as hell make videos and put it on my site, lets be real eh? Its a dual horizontal cyclone, not much different than any other. Just over engineered all to hell. It probably works twice as good as the Harbor freight one, but it cost 20 Times the price. This is super cool, but just unreasonable for the rest of us home gamers working out of our garage. That said, can anyone tell me how this tech is much different than a standard issue collector?
In the summer the sawdust goes to a municipal composting facility which is probably as much as is practical. I do save some of it for glue clean up too... Best, Matt
Not very many Ferrari ads on youtube. And I don't think many "serious" woodworkers have one of those devices. Professional companies maybe. Wrong place, wrong audience. And I VERY much doubt that anyone who spends $4000 on one of those dust handling devices looks to youtube for advice on how to empty the bins. Still LOL
I don't really understand the purpose of this video unless it's making money for the presenter. Who has one of those? Nobody with a shop in a garage. LOL
Who has one of these? You might be surprised Larry... and are incorrect in your misunderstanding. While I do benefit from being an Ambassador for Harvey Industries and from sales of these machines, the purpose of the video (and the unboxing video also on Next Level Carpentry) is to inform serious woodworkers who have in interest in the game-changing technology offered with the G700. Not everyone who sees an ad for a Ferrari already owns one! Best, Matt
It is the good people like yourself, Matt, who bring all sorts of new technology to hobbyists like myself who otherwise would not have known about these new innovations. Thank you sir!@@NextLevelCarpentry
