Hawt

 

Though it kinda looks like this

 

That sucks. I have this cool dust collector for it called a Drillnado. Gets 90% of the shavings it produces.

 

I see, yes my goal is just to see what I’m doing and re-use the media for as long as possible. The way my collector is set up is: Cabinet > Cyclonic Dust Separator > Shop Vac

The filter and prefilter is still inside the vacuum. Why is venting outside good?

 

Damn thing has a wider stance than my truck.

 

Theres a reason why no machine shop on planet earth bothers with "dust" collection.

 

Were you the awkward kid in school that everyone bullied?

 

The filter just plugs up and your suction gets reduced. Send all the exhaust air out side and eliminate the filter.

 

Yeah dust collector shouldn't be used for metal. In my garage I get chips all over the place when machining. I just sweep up the bulk then use a shop vac to vacuum up the rest & off my machines. I like to use dry drywall/filter bags inside my shop vac, easy disposal, plus most of my chips are oily so they keep the shop vac clean.

Another option if you have a wide open area is to use a magnet sweeper. They also make handheld magnet wands too. I'm sure I have way more problems with chips & metal shavings than you & I don't even use those. I have been wanting to get me a handheld magnet wand but of course those things only work on ferrous metals.

HF sells them, not sure how good they are though. They also have a cheaper one for only $20 but doesn't have a release I think.

 

When i was a kid and my grandpa had the roof redone he would pay me per nail I collected around the house. So i would walk around with a strong magnet attached to a string amd just wave it everywhere collecting nails that have fallen. Later on i found out about thT rolling one you pictured and i wish i had that instead lol

 

Lol, that would have been easy money if you had one!

 

It would of been, thats why i was mad after that fact when i found out those existed

 

We opened Christmas

 

What was inside? I've always wondered.

 

Sweet Baby Jesus

 

That was a reference to that one show, Ricky Bobby

 

Oh, I have no idea what that show is so I didn't get the joke.

 

Neither do I, haven’t watched it in years
