Woodworking DustAir Cleaning Technology's dust collection systems are capable of controlling all your industrial woodworking dust needs. Wood dust is a combustible material and workers need an efficient dust management system for their health and safety. At your convenience, our certified engineers visit your manufacturing facility, assess and recommend the best and most cost efficient equipment for your company. Once you've decided on a dust collection system, our specially trained technicians a able to install, maintain and service to keep your equipment running smoothly. Meets OSHA’s strict clean air standards by reducing employees exposure to dust woodworking Engineered solutions include direct machine capture and ambient woodworking dust and air cleaning systems All systems are designed in strict accordance with Industrial Ventilation Guidelines Dust collectors improve housekeeping and reduce maintenance costs by collecting particulate before it settles on floors, walls, ceiling and equipment

Increase production efficiency with a cleaner, safer, healthier work place Woodworking dust collectors conserve energy by filtering out in-plant emissions thus reducing general ventilation requirements Non Combustible Material - For non combustible material, we use cartridge style dust collector or cyclone mechanical separator.  We have those as portable units, small ones that can be used for individual machines and large ones that can be used for central systems.Dining Room Sets For Sale Ottawa Home / Woodworking /Weight Loss Spell Ring Air Cleaner Accessories  /  ...1930s Vintage Lace Wedding DressDust collection is one of those topics you could write a book about and several people have. The book Woodshop Dust Control, Revised

(202232) by Sandor Nagyszalanczy is probably the best one out there. is something you know you should do, but where do you start and how do you proceed? probably asked yourself questions like, do I need a central system, what about grounding and how much is this going to cost? For most small general woodworking shops, dust control is simple and affordable. a few basic concepts up front that you can apply to most situations, and the specifics will take care of themselves. These concepts are called: at the face, at the source and in When working wood, wear a dustThe best system in the world can't trap everything, especiallyFind a mask that has an inhale valve and a separate exhale valve. respirator dust masks have several advantages over the single disposable type. you're not breathing in and out of the filter media. The moisture from your breath contaminates the filter causing it to lose effectiveness fast. Having separate inhale and

exhale valves also keep your safety glasses from fogging. Find one with a rubberized face gasket that forms a proper seal around your nose and mouth. The disposable kinds leak air around your checks particularly if you sport a beard. Lastly, a well made and well cared for dust mask will last for years, and the replacement filters out last the disposable type by at least 3Our Elipse P100 Dust Mask (pictured above right) fits all these criteria. If you do have a beard, or if you find masks in general uncomfortable, then consider aThese rechargeable units blow filtered air inside a visor while a gasket shroud keeps the dust out. We recommend our Trend Airshield (301301).The good news is that most small one-person shops don't need an expensive central system with hard piped fixtures, blast gates and 50 miles of grounding wire. If you typically work alone in a space less than 600 square feet, then a 1-1/2 HP 1100 CFM Dust Collector

(115101) is all you need. Place the collection unit in a central location and measure distance to the tool farthest away. You will need a piece of 4" flexible hose a little longer than the distance you measured. Since you can only use one machine at a time, you move the hose from machine to machine as you need them. This system requires a little more project planning and maybe a cut list, but it will certainly make you more efficient in the The key to using this decentralized central system is the 4" connector. Every machine you want to collect dust from needs to be ultimately fitted with a 4" maleThe flexible hose from the collector will friction fit over it. your router table has a 2" dust port, use increasers to make it an outside diameter of 4". Put the connector as close to the source as possible. Of course if your machine already has a 4" port like most jointers, planers and table saws then no modification isYou may want to add a connector anyway if the port is low to the ground or

Make it easy on yourself. If connecting the hose is difficult, you'll wind up not using it. Oh yeah, the best part about this system, no grounding! Some older tools don't have built in dust ports, and some new tools like power miter saws have ports that don't work. In these cases, if you can't find a suitable dust hood, you'll have to improvise. Grab some cardboard, duct tape and whatever else you can conceive of and make a collection port. You know where the dust accumulates, so start there. Visit a friend's shop. He or she has probably already figured out the solution, and you won't have to reinvent the wheel. Hand held power tools are another story. I'm talking about random orbit sanders, belt sanders, biscuit jointers, circular saws and the like. Since big dust collectors move a lot of air, they usually lack the static pressure necessary to pull dust off of thoseBesides you'd look awful funny with a 4" pipe slung over your shoulder as

you're sanding a tabletop. Shop vacs are the weapon of choice here. Get a good one like a Festool CT HEPA Dust Extractor with a turbine motor that won't run you out of the shop as soon as you turn it on. thousands of hours of life built into them, whereas the big box store versions are designed to die after a few dozen hours of use. Plus, Festool vacs actually trap dust instead of blowing it into the air when you turn them on. Even Festool's most economical vac, the Festool CT Mini (721001), is extraordinarily quiet and incorporates a tool-activated switch that turns the vac on automatically when you trigger your tool's switch. Here's couple of final thoughts on machine dust collection. If you're going to produce fine dust like that from a sander, you really need a micron bag for your dust collector. Just replace the top bag because it's the one doing all the filtering. The bottom bag is mainly the collection point. bags filter fine dust and only get better with time.

They also improve backpressure making the entire system more efficient. Another accessory that's super handy is a pre-chipYou've seen the garbage can with the dust separator lid (192664) inThese things work very well if you put a 4" elbow (192634) on the inside of the can underneath the intake port of the lid. You could get fancy and glue some gasket material on the inside of the lid for a better seal. Tape or clamp the lid to the can andOh yeah, use a metal can because the power from a 1-1/2 HP dust collector will crush the sides of a plastic can. The last thing I can think of is a remoteThey may seem like a luxury initially, but once you've used one it's hard to go back. Buy an extra remote, that way you can go ahead and lose one and get it Several manufacturers of dust collection systems claim that if you use their products you won't need to filter the air. That may be nice sales rhetoric, but it's just not reality. No system is 100% efficient and what about hand sanding?
