After I posted the video the other night showing my scroll saw dust collection system I receive several email about the noise of the shop vac. That has always been my biggest issue with trying to use dust collection with a scroll saw. You run a scroll saw for extended periods of time and it gets very uncomfortable listening to the noise.
I have searched for a quieter shop vac but have not found one that's good enough. One of the members in the Community Forum pointed out these three videos showing the construction of a shop vac silencer box.
To me this looks like a possibility but I have some reservations about heat build up. For normal clean up I think there would not be a problem but for extended cutting I wonder how hot the unit would get.
I would like to hear from some industry people what they think about using this type of system for long sessions. If you have built a similar system and are currently using if for scroll saw dust collection email me with your opinions.
This is the end of the daily posts. Keep scrolling for lot's more scrolls saw fun!
