When I was pulling boards off my wood rack for my last batch of Tiny Tables of the year I was overwhelmed by the amount of dust I stirred up. A quick look around the shop showed an alarming layer of wood dust on everything. It has been over a year since my last shop deep clean. I finished one Tiny Table out of the 6 that I had planned and put the rest of the wood back on the rack. The articles by Bill Pentz will make you think seriously about exposing yourself to wood dust, especially as much as I must be creating. The way I see it there are 3 choices, ignore the problem and hope for the best, get rid of the woodworking equipment or spend the money and fix the dust problem. Over the holidays I've done a lot of research on dust collector cyclones and ducting and think my next move will be to purchase a 5 hp cyclone and 6" duct to replace the 4" duct piping and Delta/Thein/Wynn nano system. Then each piece of equipment will have to be fitted with dust collection.
What dust collection are other Sawdustzone members using? What dust collection are you using at equipment? Is there a better way.
Thoughts on cyclone collectors?
