Respectfully, these dust collectors were made for sawdust and wood chips, not flour. So this test didn't prove anything meaningful to me, as a woodworker.
Jesse what's going on nobody wants to see this, as said before the separators separate dust from chips, your tring to separate dust from dust, what's going on with you and Alyssa?
Flour is is highly combustible when you factor in the static generated, also I was under the impression that the cyclones were not designed to collect fine dust but the heavier particles, that's also why a bag in the shop vac is a must.
@@jedidiah5131 No lol, I did not really watch the video at all. I've seen one too many of these videos at this point. I know the format and it is tiresome.
Great video! The way these cyclones work is using the heavier weight particulates drops to the dust collector while lower weights get through to the vacuum so the vacuum's filter deals with that. Flour is very small particulate and weight so you may be hitting the basic dust collection models limit. Using sawdust which has a larger particulate size and therefore weight will see significant improvements over the flour. At the plant I worked at our collection system was 2 stories tall so this method definitely works and scales surprising well. This is also the same technique used by Dyson vacuums. I appreciate the comparison!
This video is not representative of what dust separators are there for. I have been using two of them in my woodworking shop for some time. One is connected to a Nilfisk industrial vacuum with 2400 watts with both motors running. The second to a normal shop-vac. In both the Nilfisk and smaller shop-vac, I have a filter bag installed. The Nilfisk has been using it‘s bag for four years and it has hardly any dust content inside. What‘s more important, the filter looks new!!! There is never any loss of suction power, the metal drums under the cyclones catch 99.9% of all the dust . Anymore questions, please ask...
I think wood dust is easier than fine say cement powder, My system works great with wood, but cement dust gets through the cyclone and clogs the vacuum cleaner. Not easy old mate.
@@MrRandyvan What are they? Why is it near 700 days for a house wrap? If you say to do first fix electrical, then why has this not been done in the near 700 days since?

Bob Christenson my filter gets clogged with drywall dust. A very similar material to flour. I don’t have a problem with saw dust reducing my suction power.
This is what happens when idiots who don't even comprehend the point of a product, decide to review them... Even expensive household vacuums with cyclone separators still have a air filter at the end because its virtually impossible to seperate all the dust particles in a cyclone.
@@johnwoods1688 I don't care what system is being used, when the vacuum cleaner's filter is clogged by drywall dust or any fine dust, you are going to get fine dust exiting the vacuum cleaner. I have had this happing when I am vacuum drywall dust!
@@gtuttle4 in these go end remodels I am looking for as close to 100% dust collection as possible. With these clients and their million dollar homes it’s worth the extra money in bag and filters to keep them happy
@@johnwoods1688 I agree, it's just this type of setup doesn't really give you close to 100%. You would need a large filter like is used in wood shops. The filters are approximately 18 to 24 inches in diameter that dump into a fabric bag.
I am sorry, but your test is not valid because the centrifuge dust collectors before the vacuums are only supposed to separate the large particles and allow the fine particles to pass on to the main dust collector. I have a 35 gallon centrifuge collector attached to my two stage dust collector that further separates the particulate by size. Nice try though.you should be cautious about the static electricity because you could have an explosion. All components need a continuous ground connection to each other.
That's right. These systems are designed to upgrade a one or two stage system. I have a 2 1/2 for the road and a 4" in the shop. Both work great and greatly extend my filter cleaning time.
The flower and not sawdust test is also all about a consistent particle size & make a reliable even test between the 3 models. I also like a ground wire attached to all hoses since they build up the most static and also grounding to the ground not the concrete floor. So bolts in the timber brackets or a grounding spike?
In my system I picked up a ground from my electrical panel and ran it as a continuous ground throughout the entire dust collection system, branching off as needed. If you have a regular dust collector there should be instructions on how to do it in the owners manual.
Surely you want the large particles to travel on and the fine material to end up in the bucket? I definitely want to keep the fine particles out of the main unit.
@@ian1352 no, you want the larger pieces to drop out into a solid container so they dont punch holes in your filter bags that collect the dust, or get caught in the hose at joints and maybe create a blockage.
Never repeat Never blow out you air filters from the outside in! Do it from the inside out. The reason? from the outside in Blows the dust into the filter helping clog the filter
It's not the end of the world. Blowing tangentially along the filter does remove the bulk of the caked on material. Every time you run the vacuum dust is being drawn into the filter pores.

For ultra-fine dust, the best collector would be one with the inlet/outlet ports separated by the most distance. Fine dust remains suspended in the fast moving air and gets pulled out by the close proximity of the outlet hose. Flour does not have the weight necessary to be removed by the cyclonic effect. This is an absolute worst-case scenario for this equipment.
@@syrzyy maybe a sort of baffle box with filters as the baffles, with super fine you want to slow the air as much as possible so that the particles can drop out of suspension

This is one of those “just because you didn’t die...” moments. Search for flour explosion. It really concerns me about the static shock and the flour dust in motion in a high volume of air. There is a much more safe way to make a small flour explosion if you desire.
I, as so many of us, wish for some building videos. This testing products thing is going no where. I have been with you two since the beginning. I am one click away from not being here anymore.

I am a drywall finisher and use a Dust Deputy and Rigid 6.0 with a Oneida cyclone. I have used the 2 machines I put together for 5 and 6 years. There is static but you need to attatch a ground to yourself as you use the tool. I work on concrete and steel construction and this guy's tests don't mean anything to what I do. Controlling dust and controlling static are 2 different things. I don't know of anybody that vacuums flour.
I worked in a bakery as a young man ,health and safety were always worried about explosions, apparently flour in the air mixing with static electricity can actually blow the building up just wondered if you were aware of the danger
Hi Jessie, The tests are floored as has been said before. Flour is just too fine, even the sharpest saw will never get sawdust that fine. I did chuckle when you were getting static shocks, I think it is the flour that is causing you the static problems. I have several dust systems on my tools and all of them work very well at stopping chips and sawdust, I have a dust deputy on a 45-gallon drum, my other systems are home-made, 2 are like the dust stopper and, 3 are more like the dust right. (I have collection direct at the source on each tool) As I said all my systems work at about 96% efficiency, so I suggest you need to use sawdust to get a more realistic test. I think that if you used a static wrist band as you do if you are working on a computer instead of trying to earth the vacuums you would get a lot fewer shocks, I could not think of any way to increase the shocks, unfortunately.
If they work that well on really fine dust (think drywall cutting dust or concrete dust from drilling, or sanding dust) like flour, imagine how well they work on larger stuff like sawdust. Probably around 96% as you said.
Not to be a wet blanket, but you do know that flour dust is Explosive don't you? See news items about grain elevator explosions. Thinking about keeping your family safe. Maybe tie the grounds together and use a wire to the ground slot on a plug? I'm sure the experts will call me crazy....or correct me as they see fit.
It's about the correct concentration as could also be fuel rich. The ignition energy also has to be sufficient. More probable that this would lead to a deflagration
OK, you do what they've done and not feel plum tuckers out! Give them some encouragement instead of harsh words. Don't think you'd like to feel the negativity. Encouragement, encourage...
Go ahead and put that flour in your garden. Earthworms love the protein and will convert that to nice castings, aerate your soil, and the chalk wont bother them a bit. In fact, the chalk acts a grit material that they need in their system
You really need to ask your audience why they are here. I'm here for house build. I am not here for reviews, personally. I got invested in your house build.
Please give up on these types of videos and get back to finishing your house. That’s why we’re here, to see it completed. Not these nonsensical reviews that are proving to be absolutely useless.
My big question is are you going to recover to regular videos on the building the house. Know you have challenges. I am a dedicated listener, but I am changing,,, get back to normal!
When a procedure creates fine dust, or flour, such as when power sanding simply use a free standing bag dust collector. These cyclones are made to drop heavier materials into the cyclone bucket.
Working around grain mills for a number of years doing repairs/refits of exploded grain mills I can tell you that fine flour dust is one of the destructive thing one can see. Be careful of sparking flour in the garage. If one of those things went off in the garage the end result would not be pretty. Just a guy who worked in grain mills and witnessed the blue flame one too many times.
As others have said, cyclones are not for separating fine dust. They separate heavy particles and the fine dust should go straight to the vacuum. For what you are doing you need a dedicated dust extractor type of vacuum like Festools 577413 or the Fein Turbo I Wet/Dry Dust Extractor. These are designed for exactly what you are doing, and they have a feature that periodically reverses the suction in the vacuum that cleans the filter bag. I've used one for years with a drywall sander and they work remarkably well. But you did give it the old college try.
I have the dustopper in my wood shop and I've never been shocked picking up saw dust. Also I've emptied my dustopper probably more than 10 times before having to empty my vac. Lost some suction as the vac got full but the filter was easily cleaned.
I suspect that flour particle size is at least an order or magnitude smaller than sawdust particle size. I'd have put table saw sawdust in the 80 micron neighborhood or so and flour at around 8 micron. The sawdust probably also has a much higher variance whereas the flour is sifted through a sieve and would have a hard upper bound. So flour would flow with the air more readily than sawdust and cyclone separators would be more effective on the latter.
While you are right. This is a worse case scenario. You also get some mighty fine sawdust when running large sanders. so what ever one does the best in this scenario you know it should function excellent with normal sawdust
Did you know static and flour can become very explosive. I would rather you don't keep doing it wrong. I have experienced a bread bakery shop go up because they stored the flour in open bins next to the mixers. The static from a shorted mixer is what set it off. It was a tiny spark that turned into a fireball the size of a car instantly.
Thanks for the giggle. You are probably right, but I learned a new lesson about cleaning up flour...which at times my kids have spilled all over the floor! Be nice, encourage
I think they are being overloaded which is why the smallest one doesn't work as well. Most people just put sawdust through them. To me it shows that we should always use breathing protection, even when using a vacuum. It is the small particles that do the damage to lungs after all.
Wow, my DustStopper works great. I never have to clean out the vacuum. Not sure what you need for proof, but i have not used a vacuum bag in 2 years! No testing needed. Proof is in my bucket!
Perhaps the Dust Right gave better results because the collection container was larger than any of the others. Dust Deputy also has a larger version, the Super Cyclonic. It would be interesting to test this idea
The only reason the blue can has the least spill over to the vacuum is because it has the biggest can. It has more room before the dust gets closer to the suction end inside the bucket as it gets filled up. If they have the same size then you will have similar results on all 3.
They did a bed sheet comparison and review. Some were 400 thread count sheets. Yeah, these two can spend money to ruin with their champagne taste on a beer budget.
i like what you did here .as for the dust stopper ,remove the black thing .then cut a piece of PVC 1 1/2 " X 5" push it into the hole in the DS lid retest
Maybe you have to do the grounding work differently. There can be electropotential differences between each container and the travel of dust in those quantities may clearly reveal and build up that. In petroleum container systems, you have a grounding wire inside all the pipes. In addition to ground the vacuum itself. I would draw a wire inside the hoses all the way from the vacuum machine to the end of the suction intake. then I would put a wire between the suction intake and surface to be cleansed. That would be an interesting test to see if you get any shocks when that rig is done.
I think you are missing the point of a dust separator. In a wood shop the larger pieces of wood and chips are the ones that will plug up the vacuum dust collector filter, not the fine dust. So the dust separator was introduced to separate out the larger heavier pieces, and allow the vacuum filter to deal with the fine saw dust. If all you had was the fine, light weight dust, there would be no need for the dust separator.
What's the point? It's like testing three hammers to see if you can drive screws with them. Spoiler alert: You can. Since they are wet dry vacuums, are you going to see if they will clean up 5 gallons of maple syrup next? You click-baited me, but you didn't get a new subscriber.
The static charge builds as a result of the particles moving past the plastic surface. The charge is strongest along the surfaces by which the particles are passing (e.g. the inside). Neither the hose, not the vacuum bucket, is electrically bonded to your grounding wire. On top of that the concrete pad isn't going to dissipate the charge, if a grounding rod buried in the soil isn't an option it's possible to use the ground wire in your electrical outlet.
If you do any more testing put silver foil actually on the head of the tool as close to the end as possible and earth it as well. (Properly, not just washers on the floor). How you didn't get an explosion there is amazing. Lucky man.

@@Chris75169 Particulates in sufficient concentration in air + spark = boom. Particulates in not-sufficient concentration in air + spark = no boom
It's about the correct concentration as could also be fuel rich. The ignition energy also has to be sufficient. More probable that this would lead to a deflagration
@@Finwolven Not to mention the spark has to be "inside" where the fuel oxy mix is, not outside!
How many times you need to be zapped till you learn that laying wires on the ground aint that same as grounding?
I was Hoping for more then this.
Surely, just build the house...you are not Consumer Reports.
OK, you do what they've done and not feel plum tuckers out! Give them some encouragement instead of harsh words. Don't think you'd like to feel the negativity. Encouragement, encourage...
Go ahead and put that flour in your garden. Earthworms love the protein and will convert that to nice castings, aerate your soil, and the chalk wont bother them a bit. In fact, the chalk acts a grit material that they need in their system
They definitely just threw it away
Boo bring back house build
Be nicer, how many times do you think others would like to "BOO" you? Be kind, encourage them
A pointless waste of flour
You really need to ask your audience why they are here. I'm here for house build. I am not here for reviews, personally. I got invested in your house build.
I can this info from almost any woodworking show.
I too am here for the house build.
To bee honest, the last two years I've been a loyal follower. Only for the comedic value!
Is their house finished yet?
@cacille snob, keep it to yourself
Huh i searched for dust cyclone reviews so here for that
Not sure why but the shock snapping sound followed by "ouch" was amusing. 😅
There a half hour of my life I'll never get back.
Did you serve them with blueberry syrup?
Please give up on these types of videos and get back to finishing your house. That’s why we’re here, to see it completed. Not these nonsensical reviews that are proving to be absolutely useless.
if you're not making proper vids anymore i will be unsubing
@I'm Your Angel I don't mind waiting for new vids but this was just disappointing
Disappointed with this video. You are off your game
My big question is are you going to recover to regular videos on the building the house. Know you have challenges. I am a dedicated listener, but I am changing,,, get back to normal!
need to be careful and ground the systems because you might cause a dust explosion flour and grain dust can cause very large explosions
You flew to high near the sun your wax wings are melting and your fall from fame is starting.pretty rapidly.
I am here to see you do something for the HOUSE!
When a procedure creates fine dust, or flour, such as when power sanding simply use a free standing bag dust collector. These cyclones are made to drop heavier materials into the cyclone bucket.
Thank you!!!!!!
Makes a lot of sense!
Please be careful. Flour dust can explode. May help to use "bonding wire W/Clamps" from hose to flour container. (OSHA Bonding & Grounding)
Working around grain mills for a number of years doing repairs/refits of exploded grain mills I can tell you that fine flour dust is one of the destructive thing one can see. Be careful of sparking flour in the garage. If one of those things went off in the garage the end result would not be pretty. Just a guy who worked in grain mills and witnessed the blue flame one too many times.
Reached my limit. Bye
Covid 19 has struck or they blew their house up. Dont think we'll be seeing any new content for some time yet, if ever worse luck....
As others have said, cyclones are not for separating fine dust. They separate heavy particles and the fine dust should go straight to the vacuum. For what you are doing you need a dedicated dust extractor type of vacuum like Festools 577413 or the Fein Turbo I Wet/Dry Dust Extractor. These are designed for exactly what you are doing, and they have a feature that periodically reverses the suction in the vacuum that cleans the filter bag. I've used one for years with a drywall sander and they work remarkably well. But you did give it the old college try.
I have the dustopper in my wood shop and I've never been shocked picking up saw dust. Also I've emptied my dustopper probably more than 10 times before having to empty my vac. Lost some suction as the vac got full but the filter was easily cleaned.
I suspect that flour particle size is at least an order or magnitude smaller than sawdust particle size. I'd have put table saw sawdust in the 80 micron neighborhood or so and flour at around 8 micron. The sawdust probably also has a much higher variance whereas the flour is sifted through a sieve and would have a hard upper bound. So flour would flow with the air more readily than sawdust and cyclone separators would be more effective on the latter.
Test flawed from start, separators
designed for particulates not flour
While you are right. This is a worse case scenario. You also get some mighty fine sawdust when running large sanders. so what ever one does the best in this scenario you know it should function excellent with normal sawdust
Ayep. Dude is testing for the wrong debris.
drywall dust is pretty fine stuff on par with flour. You know how much of that he will encounter later on?
Tim Hodgson they used to make a water bucket based setup for sanding drywall that worked great, water caught the dust
@@charlie7057 I made my "water trap" with ABS pipe and a 5 gallon bucket, it was cheap and very effective.
Did you know static and flour can become very explosive. I would rather you don't keep doing it wrong. I have experienced a bread bakery shop go up because they stored the flour in open bins next to the mixers. The static from a shorted mixer is what set it off. It was a tiny spark that turned into a fireball the size of a car instantly.
As can wood dust. Had a massive explosion near here from wood dust.
This is informative. Now we know how these equipment will work on flour. Bakers should watch this.
How many starving people could have been fed with 150 lbs of flour😡
Thanks for the giggle. You are probably right, but I learned a new lesson about cleaning up flour...which at times my kids have spilled all over the floor! Be nice, encourage
@@elizabethhicker3252 encourage wildly wasteful and ignorant behavior? For the sake of TH-cam views? What on earth is wrong with you?
When are you coming out with new videos
Please please make the 3rd part. We are still waiting for the whole thing to blow up.
If you are going to do this kind of test you need to make it more scientific by weighing the flower before and then weighing how much is in the bin.
I think they are being overloaded which is why the smallest one doesn't work as well. Most people just put sawdust through them. To me it shows that we should always use breathing protection, even when using a vacuum. It is the small particles that do the damage to lungs after all.
use sawdust ,wood stove ash , sand . all these things are what i vacuum up on a regular basis out of my garage . thank you for you're time
Wow, my DustStopper works great. I never have to clean out the vacuum. Not sure what you need for proof, but i have not used a vacuum bag in 2 years! No testing needed. Proof is in my bucket!
What happened??
Perhaps the Dust Right gave better results because the collection container was larger than any of the others. Dust Deputy also has a larger version, the Super Cyclonic. It would be interesting to test this idea
The only reason the blue can has the least spill over to the vacuum is because it has the biggest can. It has more room before the dust gets closer to the suction end inside the bucket as it gets filled up. If they have the same size then you will have similar results on all 3.
It would nice if he could finish the house, but they may have run out of money ?
They did a bed sheet comparison and review. Some were 400 thread count sheets. Yeah, these two can spend money to ruin with their champagne taste on a beer budget.
i like what you did here .as for the dust stopper ,remove the black thing .then cut a piece of PVC 1 1/2 " X 5" push it into the hole in the DS lid retest
Could u please do some interesting videos. Outdoor possible
Run a ground static line from the vacuum hose where your hands are to the floor (similar to the dust collectors) and you shouldn't get shocked.
Maybe you have to do the grounding work differently. There can be electropotential differences between each container and the travel of dust in those quantities may clearly reveal and build up that.
In petroleum container systems, you have a grounding wire inside all the pipes. In addition to ground the vacuum itself. I would draw a wire inside the hoses all the way from the vacuum machine to the end of the suction intake. then I would put a wire between the suction intake and surface to be cleansed.
That would be an interesting test to see if you get any shocks when that rig is done.
I think you are missing the point of a dust separator. In a wood shop the larger pieces of wood and chips are the ones that will plug up the vacuum dust collector filter, not the fine dust. So the dust separator was introduced to separate out the larger heavier pieces, and allow the vacuum filter to deal with the fine saw dust. If all you had was the fine, light weight dust, there would be no need for the dust separator.
What's the point? It's like testing three hammers to see if you can drive screws with them. Spoiler alert: You can. Since they are wet dry vacuums, are you going to see if they will clean up 5 gallons of maple syrup next? You click-baited me, but you didn't get a new subscriber.
I hope its organic syrup
Physics show that plastic conducts electricity. You need to ground the bucket AND the hoses. The fast air creates static and the hose conducts it.
Jesse..THE INFOMERCIAL GUY...
The static charge builds as a result of the particles moving past the plastic surface. The charge is strongest along the surfaces by which the particles are passing (e.g. the inside).
Neither the hose, not the vacuum bucket, is electrically bonded to your grounding wire. On top of that the concrete pad isn't going to dissipate the charge, if a grounding rod buried in the soil isn't an option it's possible to use the ground wire in your electrical outlet.
If you do any more testing put silver foil actually on the head of the tool as close to the end as possible and earth it as well. (Properly, not just washers on the floor). How you didn't get an explosion there is amazing. Lucky man.
We have been using old nylon stockings over the shop vac filters, increasing the life of the filters greatly and making for easy clean up
BFD -- Why do I care about this?
It’s always been my thoughts that these are designed to take out the larger wood chips from power tools. But never really designed for fine dust
