Dust Collection Finally Arrives
May 24, 2011 Leave a comment
I finally broke down and ordered an actual dust collection system from Rockler. The days of the shopvac are over and hopefully the dust collector will be a big help keeping the shop clean and dust levels down. I built a downdraft sanding table to keep the dust down while using hand sanders and a vortex dust separator to put the bulk of the wood chips and dust directly into a garbage bag. The system works great for the planers, table saw, and router but I still have some work to do to get the chop saw to collect all the dust. The final piece is a shop air purifier system to take the dust out of the air.
