Designing your dust collection system.
There are two main points to consider when choosing a dust collector.
This unit features a 1 1 2 hp induction motor 1 micron filtration and 1 200 cubic ft.
There are two phases to designing your dust collection system.
Just because a tool comes with a 4 dust port doesn t mean you should use 4 main ducts or drops.
The heart of any dust management system is the dust collector and delta was kind enough to send me the delta 50 786.
In a separate article i will walk through the dust collection design at each tool in my shop to help you complete your dust collection system design.
Watch the next newsletter for specifics on how i optimized dust collection at various tools in my shop.
The first phase is sizing your duct work for adequate volume and velocity of flow for the type of dust you will be creating.
Do use the largest ductwork that fits your collector.
And the second phase is computing the static pressure sp of your system to determine the size and power of your dust collection unit.
The first step in designing your system is to draw a floor plan of your shop area including the following see example page 13.
In a central dust collection system the collector stays in one place in the shop and is connected to the woodworking tools with a system of ductwork.
3 speed remote controlled air filtration system 300 350 400 cfm air borne dust particulates can dirty up air borne dust particulates can dirty up a woodworker s workshop and harm a healthy respiratory system.
The wen 3 speed remote controlled air filtration system eradicates these contaminants by catching them in one of the two easily cleanable filters while circulating the air in your.
Even the best dust collection system won t eliminate the need for occasional sweeping.
Location of dust producing machines indicate size location of dust pick ups on each machine.
A good system however will keep the broom and your lungs from wearing out prematurely.
First figure out the air volume requirements of the machines in your shop see the chart on p.
Instead look at the intake port sizes for the collectors you re considering.
Most cyclones have intake ports of 6 to 8 and some two bag collectors have 5 or 6 diameter intakes so consider at least a 5 main duct.
