System Workshop Build

Where did you source your duct work and what gauge did you end up using?

Great job and the shop is coming along nice!  I used to have a steel Oneida V3000 and it was excellent.  I have read that the conductive plastic models are supposed to be quieter.  Keep the pics coming.

Nice job on the jigs & fixtures. Clever solution. [big grin]

That K3 looks sweet. I'm Festool green with envy. [smile]

How did the 3M 90 work for the laminate? Is it tough to get uniform spray coverage?

Amazed at how much it warped after install (fisheye shot)! How did you get it all straightened out again? [poke]

Ducting was sourced thru Oneida (24ga spiral duct) with unions from Rockler. Both have similar costs but I went with Oneida because shipping was marginal when buying the system. The floor sweep is super fun to use. It sucks dirt from like 6 inches from the opening.

I use the fastcap speed roller.

Thanks! I have since ditched the spray opting for the gallon bucket of the 3m adhesive. I found it was much easier just to roll it than spray. Coverage was not too bad with the can because the nozzle was adjustable. just a pain after it starts getting low or the nozzle gets clogged.

It is surprisingly quite. One reason why I opted for this one. This past week I added the ivac pro contactor kit and added an inductance switch on the tablesaw for auto start. Works like a charm.

Very nice. I just installed the V5000. Used all pvc, and blast gates from Lee Valley. Oneida was great to deal with.

Excellent build.  I really like how you built the roll-around tool cabinets right into your wall.  Did you just run the kickboard across or remove the casters and mount them on a base?

Nice installation for the dust collector.  It looks like the V3000 can be mounted lower (my clearance is about 7 feet).  How high is your ceiling?

Thanks!  Mike A.

Yep pretty much. Base with the cabinets, no casters, and screwed it to the lumber racking behind it. I did have to make a spacer because it was two lower cabinets.

My ceiling height is 89”. You could probably get away with 86-87 if you cut a little bit out of the vacuum tube between the collector and bin. You need one inch clearance from ceiling. Went with the wall mount so I could adjust the setup a bit more.

Quick tip if you do get one, install motor/fan on inlet section before installing the inlet section. You will also need the ivac pro contactor version if you want tool activated dust collection.

Thanks for the response!  Sadly, my ceiling height is only about 84 inches so it might be too tight.  It's going to be a while before I'm ready to upgrade so no rush on this purchase for me.

Thanks, Mike A.

That’s a pretty huge improvement on the shop space.  A lot of us our guilty of have a mess in the shop.  You did a pretty good job designing something that’ll greatly increase productivity in your shop.

Between other projects I finally finished drawer fronts and drawers. I even grain matched them. Got to keep some class.
