Upgraded the dust boot on my Shapeoko to a 4 inch Pwncnc dust boot v7. Really easy to put together. Will get better airflow with 4 inch. Added 2HP Harbor Freight dust collector. Also thought about making a cyclone filter, but I read that it cuts down on the airflow dramatically. I added the bucket under the collection bag for easy cleanup. May add more supports for the hose. I also lined the HP dust collector with silicone and duct tape. I ordered another elbow and 4 inch coupler. May add a 4 inch reducer to 2.5 inch for my bandsaw, but not sure if is needed, the wen bandsaw doesn’t seem designed well for dust collection. Also making dust collection bucket for Dewalt planer with a modified gamma seal lid and powertec dust mounts.
Really impressed with the dust boot, it is pricey but they are the best I can find, with easy to order replaceable parts.
The wynn filter is super pricey with expensive shipping. Was kinda of let down because the weak protective shipping that bent my filter. Definitely should have gone with the donaldson filter. Kind of screwed, I’ll eat return shipping for errors on their part. Definitely not going to buy from them again.
Edit, talked to Wynn Environmental about my issues. Sent them pictures of the bent lid and they totally hooked it up and sent me a new one. So I have 2 now, first one does leak, so it’s a good backup now. Really pleased with their customer support. Not many companies offer great customer support.
