Not sure if it's of any use to you but TSO products provides downloadable files of various sized MFT style tops. Download the file of the size you want and take it to a CNC shop for them to machine for you. I had a 53" x 29" top cut from 3/4" MDF for $150CDN. Best money I ever spent.

Alrighty, final installment on the CamVac saga. After watching Dennis from Hooked on Wood build a baffle box for his CamVac I decided to do the same. I bought some 2" acoustic foam tiles and built a box from 1/2" ply to fit in the rafter bay above the CamVac. 19" wide, 22" long and 6" tall...

I've looked at both the Bora and the Speedhorse and I'd take the Speedhorse. Just seems better built.

Managed to get 90% of the ducting completed. 2-1/2 port for overhead collection off the Unisaw The flex at the end will lead to a 6' length running to my drill press and provide a port for the hose from my tracksaw and router. Crosses over the ceiling to a drop for my planer and for a dust...

Made some progress piping in the CamVac. Found a metal 6"-4" reducer for the cyclone to CamVac connection. Had to use my heat gun to soften the ABS of the cyclone to get the reducer to fit. Connected it with a bit of the supplied flex. Picked up a 6 ft length of 4" PVC DWV for $10 and connected...

Here's a video which got me thinking that my plan would work. At 6:53'ish he talks about two motors on the CamVac providing "excellent dust control on the jointer and the planer" which are at the end of a run that goes up and over all of the machines. The is the same cyclone that I have.

That's really great. I think I'll be fine. Appreciate the photos @Roberto Flintofski . Here's where I got to today. I need to get a reducer for the top to go from 6" to 4". I am a bit concerned that the cyclone is too big but looking at the Oneida site, except for the Super Dust Deputy XL they...

Not to worry. I think the biggest thing I need to get used to is less volume, more static pressure.

It’s brand new so completely clean filters etc. It’s a 100mm Dust Deputy, which is the same size as the Camvac inlet.

It’s a 220v unit, 2000w.

Thank you Roberto, photos would be terrific. Just hearing if another person with a similar setup that works is putting my mind to rest.

Thanks Geoff. I think the difference between HVLP and LVHP is what’s messing with my head. I’m so accustomed to feeling the massive airflow from my HVLP unit that I was sort of expecting something similar from the CamVac.

Thanks! Glad to be here :)

I recently bought a CamVac 336-4 (2000W, twin motor) to replace my 1.5 hp conventional dust collector. Part of the reason was the old collector was huge and I have a very narrow shop so the small size of the CamVac is a plus. I plan to use the CamVac with a Super Dust Deputy and pipe it all in...

Hi everyone, I hail from Vancouver Island Canada. I'm an all around woodworker, just took up turning and think I've found my niche. I have a bevy of tools in a small shop; Unisaw, Delta 14" bandsaw with riser, Ridgid mitre saw, Dewalt planer Nova 1624 lathe. Hoping to pick up some tips for my...
