Shop Dust Control

[Brad Smith, RPT]

Hi Terry,
Good for you!  I wish I had seen this site before I set up my current shop
last year.
I have a Jet system

I would be interested to hear how you end up organizing the shop around the
new dust control. I am planning to renovate a huge barn on a new property,
and want to create a shop plan that allows dust to flow through the shop and
avoid the finishing area.

With this cyclone, will you also be building a sanding table, or 'tunnel'
area for capturing dust?
I am using Bolduc's method for shaping pinblocks with an air grinder, and
when I do it in the dust tunnel, it really saves on dust accumulation.  I
just set up a cardboard enclosure, with two dust hose openings on either
side, front end open...facing me and the workpiece...and put plastic mesh
over the dust pipe openings to avoid having tools sucked into the pipes.
Then as I sand, I use a bench brush to push dust towards this tunnel, and it
makes the work much more tolerable.

Looking forward to seeing your stuff in Rochester.
