Is this the best upgrade for a single stage dust collector?

The Wen 3403 Dust Collector is a great entry level dust collector. I did not enjoy emptying the bags of dust, so it was time for an upgrade. After 2 months of research, I built an upgraded dust collector using the bones of the Wen and a bunch of others. See how I fit the Oneida Dust Deputy and Wynn Environmental Filter into a two-stage system. This could also work great for the Harbor Freight Dust Collector.

See how the upgrade is going here: th-cam.com/video/AEMrpWTRFwE/w-d-xo.html. We talk about more updates, filter performance, dust deputy performance, and more!
Really nice job, and easy video, like the fact it is not overly produced.
This is a REALLY good video. Keep it up... your channel is still underrated but not for long, I bet. 🎉
Wow, thank you!
great concept. really like this and will probably implement some version of it. where do you get the drum? and what's the 2 piece lid you mentioned might be a better option?
Easy upgrade for barrel would be to get a clamp with quick release. Love the video and about to get a wen dust collector with the plan to do same upgrade next year.
The removable tops are great. Just get a two piece lid and it works great!
Or you could put a couple handles on the barrel and spin the barrel @@OutdoorsEngineer
great video and content!
I liked your idea. I want to make one like it and I hope it looks the same as yours. blessings
Awesome. Send me an email if you have any questions.
I believe that's a 3 stage system. Cyclone/separator/filter. Looks like it does the job!
Sure does!
You could probably delete the Oneida the way you have it set up and just put the big barrel where you have the small bucket. That's my plan except I'm going to vent my outside through a dryer vent that's in my workshop and also delete the filter.
The Oneida is nice to be able to get most of the big stuff out before it gets to the fan. The idea is to have multiple ways to extract dust, and the deputy is the first one in the line. Thanks for watching!
Why buy a different 2 part lid? Just cut the one you have to hold down a piece of ply to the barrel.
Not a bad idea. I do have another single lid I could cut down too. To be honest, I don't know if it's s need or not. Not that bad to just remove the flange.
has merv 10 been enough or do you see some super fine dust escape over time?
I honestly haven't noticed dust escaping. I've been happy with it. I never really thought of getting the next step of I think MERV 15. Are you thinking of getting one?
Can you remove the filtersack and just suck everyting out in a ventilation hole in the Wall?
Sure, as long as you have an intake that allows the same amount of air you are pushing out to be pushed back in. Especially in heating and cooling seasons, this would result in extra heat and ac required to cool or heat the new air coming in.
@@OutdoorsEngineer ok yes...thanx
is the filter really needed, what exactly is it doing?
Filtering the air and not blowing dust directly into my shop.
I have that idea for the future, mi sisten is same but whith vacuum and dust stopper, but mi sistem is 2.5 inch, is that a problem? Any answer in spanish is better but i have translayor
Traduje esto usando IA. Típicamente, la mayoría de los sistemas son al menos de 4 pulgadas. Si tienes un sistema de 2.5 pulgadas, eso restringirá el flujo.
I translated this using AI. Typically, most systems are at least 4 inch. If you have a 2.5 inch system, that will restrict flow.
@@OutdoorsEngineer tankyou
What do you do to clean the filter?
Stick around. I"m working on a video this week to be release this weekend of the updates and cleaning of the dust collector!
Just use the air compressor to blow it out, blowing air from the outside.
My super d.d. is way bigger that that. I don't think they had that size at the time I did mine. Or I messed up.
I originally had the big one. Then realized that they had a smaller one, so I swapped them and Woodcraft made that very easy. Sometimes the bigger one won't work as efficiently with a smaller blower motor that's on the Harbor Freight and Wen 3403.
Remove the guard on the blower inlet you will increase the sucking on the system.
Good idea!
