Shop Dust Control

I'm having a similar problem. I have a persistent cough which gets 
worse when I'm using the machines which aren't connected directly to 
the dust extractor (currently a 1hp poorly designed unit). Our resaw 
bandsaw and drum sander are connected directly to the extractor, 
which is a major help, but the belt sander and overhead router in 
particular spew dust over the operator at will.

Good move Terry.

Locally, I've found a distributor who can supply a very good 5 hp cyclone unit.

http://www.majorwoodworking.com.au/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=72_42&products_id=168

They also supply a 3 hp unit.

The price for the 3hp unit is quite reasonable at A$1320.00, which is 
US$960 at today's exchange rate.

We're planning to install one when I return from Rochester. Its all a 
matter of being able to afford the equipment, but its certainly 
overdue.
