DIY Centrifugal Dust Separator from Pilson Guitars - Testing my Design on the Hammer planer.

How good will it perform? And is it the Ultimate Horizontal Dust Separator for the small workshop? The Harvey Dust Processor G700 filtration efficiency is 99.7%. Will this be even possible with this compact 3D printed version, in a real live scenario? Or is 105 hours of printing a waste of time...
3D STEP-files are available on github:

The complete build video and STL-files will be made available later on.

I am thrilled to see the work that we did get modified with such great success! The design changes are fantastic and the volume of material you're able to handle far exceeds my results. (I run much finer, lower volume material) I like it so much that I want to rebuild mine. 😀 Great work and thank you for posting your results! I look forward to making some of your updates to my system.

Love the way you mirrored the impeller. I did mine system few months back....works really well. Pilsonguitars did an amazing job.

My separator cylinders are made from 1mm clear acrylic. Although the stretch does not break, it is easy to compress. Because I prepared it according to the original, and in this case the airflow was from the front, the separator would expand, so I inserted the separator into a 4 mm PVC cylinder, which serves as a frame... Now I think that the only remaining option is a fan at the beginning... maybe it will be better.

Hey, that's a real awesome design! Love what results you have achieved! Really want to build one on my own now 😉 the footprint is just a bit too big for me 🫤 out of curiosity have you ever tried to use it at a 90° angle, means vertical instead of horizontal? Therefore the festool boxes would have to be replaced with hoses to guide the material in bins. From the functional aspect of centrifugal force this should be feasible, or? Keep on going with your project, love to see further updates! Br

hi As far as I understand, you have horizontal suction manifolds. The original fan is located at the beginning of the collectors. I also assembled this manifold from two parts and could not decide which option to choose. Should I put the fan at the beginning or at the end?

No one answered me whether it is better to connect forward or backward...😢 so I don’t know yet either. Observation required. When you have a leaf blower or vacuum cleaner in the back, does it suck up small particles from the containers?

I think it makes perfect sense to have the blower running on suction when it's connected to the end of the colector. I don't like sawdust getting into the fan wings. But I can say one thing... if sawdust is stuck somewhere, then the collectors should not shrink due to vacuum. I'm a little afraid of this. I haven’t tried it either to connect in front of the collector I haven’t made a normal fan yet. I think 4kW power will be enough.

Wat gaaf dat je dit hebt gefinetuned! In mijn werkplaats wil ik er graag een paar plaatsen. Kun jij die tegen betaling produceren? Ik hoor graag je reactie in een comment.
