Shop Dust Control

[William R. Monroe]

Terry,

Thinking of cleaning all the stuff out of the air that is too small for the
cyclone to get - there's lots of it.  Especially with sanding procedures,
but pretty much every machine operation gives you plenty of tiny particles
floating around the shop that a dust collector won't get - thus the overhead
filter.  I'd consider one.  For example:

It'll improve your cycling.

Well, (cough) yeah, (cough) you might think (cough) so, but what can I say
(except cough)? No overhead filters for me - I've got a wooded pasture in
back of my shop so I will be exhausting directly from the cyclone to the
outside.

Likely not. I think (now) that I simply wasn't thinking before!
