Workshop Dust Collection System: Parts that actually fit together! DIY 4" DWV PVC based network

This video helps you choose 4” DWV PVC-based dust collection components so they all fit well together in a system or network, based on my experiences and experimentation while setting up my own DIY setup. I've used DWV PVC that's widely available at box stores (not Schedule 40).

I cover how PVC pipes, blast gates, flexible hoses, and fittings connect. I also cover what hooks up well to stationary power tools, such as my drill press, table saw, compound sliding miter saw, planer, bandsaw, jointer, and Super Dust Deputy Cyclone based Dust Collector.

Bonus materials include sealing the air leaks in metal blast gates, mounting blast gates, and mounting PVC pipes to the ceiling. Good luck with your build!

• Also available under different brands from different vendors
• Dust hose, durable & smooth inside wall: https://amzn.to/3IAudSa
• I had bought cheaper ones that turned yellow and aren't as smooth inside resulting in pressure loss
• Rigid conformable hose: https://amzn.to/3Pe49zV
