DUST FREE SCROLLING ,I have been talking about it for a long time ,I have been trying to condense in to a simple format to illustrate the effectiveness of the system .I decided to do the test cutting sheet rock materials , The ultra-fines are the dangerous dust ,that you breath ,the heavy chunky stuff ,makes a mess ,but is too big to breath ,unless you are real determined and just plain stupid !
My system gets them all, because it catches them at the source, at the BLADE TOP AND BOTTOM!
For the test I made a sheet rock sandwich that is composed off a piece of green sheet rock ½†covered with blue tape. Sealing the sheet rock to prevent edge crumbling, so all that gets on the table was from the actual cutting of the material. Trying to demonstrate only the dust collection of the process making a video is only to show the capabilities of the collection of dust , time is critical ,when making a video , But I hope it conveys the abilities of the system ,and will show ,just how dust free it is possible to scroll , for those of you who have dust issues ,or just want to be able to scroll in the house without all the mess ! Posting on U-TUBE.
All this video and u-tube posting is all new to me!
So cut me some slack, All of this is DIY by me, there are a lot of pictures of different stages and improvements, in the process, up to now! Posted on SSV and my gallery and on SS WW &C
The new light assembly, shown eliminated the shadows, the smaller light couldn’t, and tips to provide great light for us bottom loaders. The lamp is locked and UN locked with a jam nut, making it stationary or adjustable.
I will attempt to describe the system while showing it, then turn on the vac. cut half the pc. Show upper and lower blade areas for dust! Then shut off vac. and show cut the second half .w/o any blowers ,fans or Other aids and see the difference ,To this point ,I have seen no posts of any one doing the test I posted weeks ago! My test here ,should keep all the dust from blowing all over ,if not ,I will shut it down to protect my computer (4 ‘ away ) ! I will be using a #5 FD Spiral for the test!
I hope this will show approx. the ultra-fine dust your saw would create in a couple hrs. Of scrolling less all the big stuff also produced when scrolling. Constructive comments and Question Welcome!
I’m sorry I have not figured out how to put hyperlinks in yet. But go onto YouTube and do a search for (My home made complete dust free system by Carl Jacobs )
My Best as always! Carl
