Great thread, love the pics and your attention to detail.
im about to set up pvc dust collection on my shop
Check out Project Twin's youtube channel he goes into some depth on his shop setup.
Projecttwin goes into "some detail?" Prepares for a 2 hour video on how to glue PVC. Seriously, glad to see you here. I do love your threads and how you show us how to do what you do even knowing I don't possess the patience and skill required to replicate it.
That static isn't bullshit. We had a vacuum system over a few machines in the plant I work at. Static electricity made it go boom one day. Very loud but no one got hurt.
Ground well, what can it hurt?
You can't ground an insulator, but I would be grounding where I collect the sawdust. put it in a well grounded metal bin, if you are using a filter bag, drop a grounding plate in it or something. sawmills have this issue which is obviously an extreme example.

They don't use pvc that I've seen in part because of the tech issues you are noting in difficulty grounding. the fires are more likely in the baghouse (collection point) static electricity is a real issue even in grounded systems. We have a flammable dust collection system in my plant and it is grounded 9 ways to Sunday and monitored heavily and we keep 1" of nitrogen pressure on it. It's a bit more flammable than sawdust though.
Really cool build, thanks for posting this.
That's one impressive amp. Didn't see it on the website though.
