Chet Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I know there has been a lot of discussions on a lot of forums about grounding you PVC ducting (if that's what you use) for you dust collection systems. I do and I have never had a problem except right by my DeWalt 735 planer and I think that mostly has to do with the fan that blows chips out of the planer at a pretty high velocity. The couple of times it has happened, the shock was about what you get off of new carpet. I ran across this video today and found it interesting. The guy is a hobbyist woodwork but an electrician by trade and he did a video on grounding or earthing as they call it where he lives. His accent is a bit thick sometimes but worth the watch. 1 Quote "Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for." - Epicurus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I don’t question his ability as an electrician as he seems quiet versed. I am however amazed that his 5-6 gallon shop vac is used as his dust collection system and is hard piped throughout his shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a shop vac. The one other video I watch of his was his shop tour and it sounds like an interesting collector. I think he said it had two motors and can run it on just one or use both. I want to go back and look through his videos because if I read him right he has a video of the system when he set it up.

Jamie Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I had the same issue off my 735 planer, there was a grounding wire on mine that I stuck under the hose clamp that was on the flex pipe. Seemed to help with the issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
