[CAUT] Dust Control






Check out Woodshop Dust Control- Sandor Nagyszalanczy from Taunton Press. 
Best book I found on dust collection.
www.oneida-air.com for the Oneida systems.
http://www.airwareamerica.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=17 
for the Trend Air Shield
I got the Delta Air Filter on clearance at Lowe's a few years ago. If you 
have more time than money you can build one.
Be aware that diy dust control requires some effort to produce a good 
system. Oneida Air will design a system for you I believe. Their stuff is 
not cheap but works better than anything else I tried. 
I have about $2000 in my system currently but will be adding to it 
shortly.

Good morning Dale, 

Where might those items be found and what price range are we looking at? 

Thanks

(snip)
In regard to human health, I once had a conversation with one of the 
maintenance guys who asked if we could reduce the moisture 
requirement during the the winter.  On some of the coldest days the 
water pumped into the building to keep the humidity at 40% made the 
filters damp.  There was a concern about mold in the filters.   I 
always wondered how effective the filters were because it was always 
difficult to keep dust off the pianos.  Then I realized I probably 
was the biggest contributer to the problem in that my shop generated 
saw dust that was probably circulated around the building.  I never 
purchased a saw dust control system/filter for my shop but probably 
should have. I looked at some filtering units that hang from the 
ceiling, but never got farther than looking.  Does anyone have 
suggestions that Paul might consider both for the health of the 
building and for a healthy shop environment?

Hey Richard,

My suggestion is full dust control- dust collector, air filter, personal
protection. I have an Oneida 2 hp commercial dust collector, a Delta air
filter and a Trend Air Shield and life is much better in my shop.
