Harbor Freight Dust Collection Modification | DIY Tutorial
In this tutorial you will learn how to modify the low cost Harbor Freight single stage dust collector into a two stage fine dust filter and chip separator. I walk you through building the thein baffle, also known as the chip separator, and the fine dust filter step by step. The detailed plan linked at the bottom of this page provides all the dimensions and breakdowns to assist you in the conversion. All you need to accomplish this conversion is a router, drill, pocket whole jig, and a circle jig for your router. I also did a tutorial on how to build a Router Circle Jig, so check that out if you don’t have one yet. Let me know how your conversion went, if you decide to convert one of these dust collectors, down below in the comments. Also, if you developed a better way to accomplish any of the processes shown in the tutorial let me know in the comments as well I would love to hear about it and share it with others.
