Dust Control in a Woodworking ShopBeing aggressive in cleaning dust from the air in your shop doesn’t necessarily mean you have to spend a ton on new equipment.If you don’t have a dust collection system in your shop, now’s a great time to start. For many hobbyists and home-shop woodworkers, such systems seem like a luxury — the last tool to be bought. But more and more of us are beginning to take dust seriously. That’s a fact that the tool industry now recognizes. Healthy Shop Habit While shop vacuums are extremely popular among woodworkers, they may not be the best solution for systematic dust control. First and foremost, their capacities are generally much smaller than that of most large, stationary machines. Second, their filters usually don’t trap some of the micro-particles that can aggravate allergies and irritate the respiratory system. There’s no doubt: For most shops, a complete dust collection system is necessary to protect your health. Being aggressive in cleaning dust from the air in your shop doesn’t necessarily mean you have to spend a ton on new equipment. Choose the system that’s right for you! If you’re looking for a fairly powerful dust collection system, but don’t have the space or the desire to set up a fixed dust collection system, consider the #22878 JET Portable Dust Collector. It’s easily wheeled from one tool to the next and doesn’t take up a lot of space. Portable collectors use a hood near the work area to gather dust left by routing or sanding operations into a bag. It can also be hooked up to any power tool with a 4-inch port. JET Portable Dust Collector If you’re ready for a centralized dust collection system, the #22642 JET DC-1100 Dust Collector is a good choice that outperforms all others in its class. It is essentially a large impeller that pushes dust and chips into a 30-micron filter bag, then pushes air out through another 30-micron filter bag. Most shop vacuums are low-powered, single-stage collectors, making them a far-from-perfect choice for use with large stationary power tools. During their lifetime, one third of all woodworkers experience some adverse health effects from contact with wood dust. Cleaning the Air Fittings and Accessories: 2-Machine Dust Collector Starter Kit - #68665 Y-fittings are used to service more than one machine and provide increased lateral air flow. All 4" diameter fittings are manufactured from abrasion-resistant plastic. 4" hose sold separately.

During their lifetime, one third of all woodworkers experience some adverse health effects from contact with wood dust. |
