Magnetic Dust Collection Anchor

- I used a MagSquare 400 and 2 1/2" Loc-Line for this build, curious what you think of it. A magnet is obviously not the only way to anchor the hose, here is another interesting method by Ron Walters:
• Drill Press Table - Du...
I feel like you and Jason from Fireball Tool would get along nicely.
You both invent and improve tools and are constantly working to innovate and attack a problem with a unique solution.
Like two maker bros, one who works in wood and magnets and fixtures and jigs, and the other works in steel and iron with gigantic tools the size of minivans.
Both essential and amazing at what you do!
I'm always impressed with your ingenuity. For the drill press, I use a shop vac. High speed air works great. I hook the hose to the post with a bungee cord. Not very elegant, but it works.
I would imagine this has the same benefits, based on fluid dynamics and the Bernoulli principle.
The smaller diameter of the blue pipe will cause the flow of air to speed up rapidly where you need it and then slow down when it hits the wider pipe. Best of both worlds, you get high velocity fluid movement where you need it, while receiving the benefits of slow moving air, such as quiet operation, much less vibration and wobble and you can use the pre existing setup.
Win-win!
The really important question that I'm not seeing anyone else ask: "What are those pants with all the really useful pockets, and where can I buy a pair?"
Excellent solution Andy - as ever 😉
Another great idea that serves multiple applications. Thanks for sharing.
Really cool! Looks super useful and super versatile
I love it. I’ve been trying to figure out a table mounted solution for my bandsaw. The lower one does ok, but I’d love to have something over the table too. Have to keep this in mind!
That’s a chunky monkey mount and adjustable hose! So great :-)
Andy, You are a mad genius. Thanks for everything you do.
Creative and interesting but my basic feeling is that it's just too fiddly. I played around with several different dust collection devises for my drill press, band saw table and other applications. After giving all of them a good trial period I just went back to making a mess and vacuuming it up afterward. Every device I tried was awkward to set up and ended up being in the way at some point thus requiring that I stop the project and make adjustments.
I do use a dust collection system for the table saw, router table, bandsaw ( under the table ), jointer, planer etc. Gets the most of it. Trying to get all of I found to be too much trouble.
Just my .02 worth.
And now, since we don't use pennies anymore here in Canada ( just round things off to the nearest .05 ) you know what the true value of my .02 worth may be.
Very cool idea.
The blade guides on your bandsaw should be half an inch to an inch off the work surface while cutting. That blade wobble is probably why the blade broke. Otherwise awesome idea, how powerful are those magnets
I'm thinking he may have done that intentionally for videographic clarity. Otherwise, it would've considerably obstructed our view of the cut.
Great solution to an ongoing issue! Thanks!
Beautiful
1. would I buy one? Yeah, almost assuredly, cost-contingent.
2. Would I buy two? No. Probably not. Not a commentary on the product or its utility, but the the easy of moving it would preclude the necessity. Which can be a factor when one is looking at it from a manufacturing/retail standpoint. In short, this is one I could totally see MagSwitch tacking on to the end of their accessories (k)line, but I dunno it'd be worth it for the individual. Not least because it's sorta contingent upon two separate external brands active key competencies, and I doubt you'd sell more than one, maybe two to a given woodworker. How many people you know with 3+ Grr-rippers?
3. I didn't even know Loc-Line MADE a 2.5" vacuum attachment! Cool find!
A good solution to a pesky problem!
Great design.
Great idea... as usual, always creative..
I vary between trying to collect every bit of dust/debris and just using the machine ports and clearing the rest up after. (As an aside, why don’t bandsaw manufacturers have this type of thing as a built-in option; why don’t table saw manufacturers have a system for under the table collection?)
I looked at using magswitchs. I have a few that some with feather boards etc - not strong enough to hold the vacuum hose. I looked at the Magswitch 400/600 - anything up to £180 here in the UK! £180!
So, I use 3 x 16kg permanent magnets from First4magnets here in the UK? Good value and works - but the balance is strong enough to hold but not so strong that you can’t move it.
Your solution is far better but £180! Okay, enough about UK cost. I like everything about your solution. I like particularly the way that you finish the jig with sanding and finish. I often think that, when you look at the quality of workshop jigs, you can tell a good deal about pride and attention to detail
Going
One more awesome idea from inklein'd
Dude that is so smart. That’s on/off magnets are nifty things. What finish did you use there? I’ve been using wax as a quick an easy shop finish but looking for something better.
Thanks, that’s just boiled linseed oil, my go to for shop stuff like this
My first thought was "that looks a lot heavier than it needs to be" but it seems to hold well enough so maybe that's not an issue. I also thought those adjustable hose pieces were 3D printed (I think Marius Hornberger uses 3D printed ones). Looks to me like the whole thing could potentially be 3D printed.
I thought the same thing, it would be less bulky that way too
Buena idea !! Enhorabuena por el trabajo ,¿Podrías pasar el enlace o dar alguna información de donde has comprado ese conducto de aspiración?
What do I think of this? There are more effective ways to collect drill press shavings and dust but they take a lot more work. See Ring's Workshop's solution on TH-cam. Your design's greatness is its flexibility which will allow its use on a variety of machines in problem setups. But what I really like best is the visual effect of the cherry/plywood combination. I'll certainly use that in my shop furniture and accessory builds.
Awesome idea Andy!! Hey, where did you get those Elephant Trunk lookin pieces of flex duct? Do you have an affiliate link??
No affiliate link, I just bought it, it’s 2 1/2” Loc-Line
Love it
EXCELLENT !!
You need to add a CNC to your arsenal. You will be glad you did...
I like it.
Well, that's clever!
Since the elephant trunk part is adjustable, it is lesser of an issue to find a spot to normal clamp it to something.
Looks like that would be great for moving from tool to tool. Drill press, bandsaw, maybe lathe. And I should have watched to the end before commenting.
Looks great! What kind of hose is that?
I love the idea of this. I was wondering if it would also work on my Hegner.....I see it will. Where did you buy the magnet?
Thanks, the magnet is a magsquare 400, you can buy it directly from mag-tools.com also I work at Magswitch, feels right to include that …
Cool! Do you have a file you'd share to 3D print those big blue adjustable "sucker snake" parts? Or is that something one can buy of the shelf?
That 2.5” Loc-Line, off the shelf buy
Neat
I like it
I think. A coupling between hose 1 and 2, a piece of string/metalstraps and horseshoe/your magnet does about the same. Its quite bulky! :-D
Where do you find the oversized flex hose?
It’s 2 1/2” loc-line, sold a lot of places
Pretty cool!
I like it, I like it a lot!
I love all of the magswitch ideas that you have, but the cost is too rich for me. But I'll keep watching.
the mag switches that come with cheap dial indicators are more affordable albeit slightly more cumbersome to secure into a custom jig. haven't compared their holding power mind you.
Where is the drill come from @ 3:20
Did drills grow on your ceiling and falling like ripe apples?
btw: nice dust collector. good idea
Looks like a turbo charger
Waaaayyy too damn much work
I'd be reluctant to use that on a vibrating tool, maybe a mag-switch should hold the hose on with a collar plate as well?
That is a pretty nifty idea. Now if only all my tools were magnetic...
If you haven't seen Marius Hornberger's video about using hole saws, you really should! th-cam.com/video/1ZSse6AW2cA/w-d-xo.html
So GLAD I came looking for a lathe dust control solution that is practical! I'm wondering why you went with the MAGSquare 400? Do you think I can get away with using a MagSquare 165?
Hmm. So, I wonder about a push/pull pair of these?
Hook up one to an air blower on one side of the work, and the other to a vacuum system on the other side of the work.
Way to much work and expense.
There are many easier ways of collecting dust, IMO
Magnets on machinery means metal swarf in the bearings
its too well designed, make it shoddier :P
This is pretty versatile
Fantastic build.
So nice I wish I could like it twice.
like what you do!
Clever. Nice job
Brilliant idea.
I'm going to make one.
Looks good
Very cool
Brilliant, Andrew! Really well done! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Great video and invention. Very useful. 2:08 someone needs to invent a hole saw that easily ejects the plugs. Mahalo for sharing! : )
I think it's Great and will try myself . Thanks Andy
now i gotta make one. thanks for the idea Andrew!
Love it! Thanks for all of your innovative ideas. After seeing it finished ,it makes total sense but it takes a guy like you to bring those ideas to us. I've tried different applications for the line lock but yours is the best
Great idea! I love the loc-line fittings. I have some smaller ones (1/4”?) setup on a magnet with a ball valve connected to my compressor to use on the lathe and drill press (and whatever else, scroll saw?) for variable flow dust removal. Also helps cool the back of a forstner bit when hollowing something on the lathe.
Mad skills! Looks like you've got another commercial product winner, if you want to go that route. I was thinking of installing permanent magnets under the edge of a dust chute that currently just sits on side of the drill press table, but with that method, metal swarf is going to collect over them and the chute is too big to get close to the work. As I have Mag switches, this method seems both more secure and easier to get the dust collection closer.
Lower the guides on the bandsaw. That may help. Safer too.
You asked, what do I think about this? It looks good, but before I can tell you what I truly think about it, I would like to see it in action with all of the tools that you pictured it with.
Like it quiet a bit.
Thanks Kyle, and thanks for joining the channel!
Helluva good idea. Might try it on my drill press. Thanks.
Amazing as always. What tool will be next???
Awesome...well done!
Great idea! Thanks
