He Made His Own Dust Doctor
 ✖  |
Andy Sewell, North Yorkshire, England: “FARM SHOW ran a piece on a valve I made for a vacuum hose that sucks fine glass bead dust out of my bead blasting cabinet (Vol. 40, No. 6). A reader kindly contacted me and suggested that he had used a similar idea when working with wood shavings, but with the addition of a DustDoctor cyclone. I couldn’t find one in England so I made my own using a 7-in. clear plastic funnel. At the bottom I cast a block of poly to act as a base to mount it over a bucket. The air inlet enters the top of the funnel at a shallow angle, with a piece of thin plate an inch below it to control the direction of flow. My bleed valve remains in place so I can still regulate the amount of vacuum at the blast cabinet.
“It worked great the first time I fired it up. Total cost was just a few dollars and the benefit is a huge increase in vacuum cleaner bag life. So thanks to FARM SHOW and its readers.”
