Is it worth it to modify HF Dust Collector Power Tools
Currently I have the 2hp harbor freight dust collector and I have been moving it around to any machine I need to use. But I want to go ahead and install ducts and have a more permanent setup. While lots of people modify the harbor freight dust collector what is less clear is if it is worth it.

The assembly of the dust collector is very straight forward. However depending on which version of the cyclone it can have a different connector sizes. The one I have is metric so to find fittings was a challenge as imperial is much more common in North America. I attached the 2 1/2" to 1 1/2" reducer to the top of the cyclone.

Hand made blast gates upgraded dust collectionby
Great setup fine implementation. I was wondering On the 3rd picture of the overall setup i see a hose that goes up. I assume this one goes on the ceiling all the way to the table saw somewhere in the middle of the shop. but i don t see a blast gate maybe you have done it closer to the saw. but isn t it an inefficient way which takes some of the power of the grizzly dust collector
