To ensure clean air and clean lungs, designing your dust collection system requires a good deal of careful forethought. This book is designed to provide just that, helping you to achieve the cleanest possible air in your wood shop. Learn how to lay out your piping for the best draw and install a central dust collection unit that will capture dust and chips at the source, direct them into a central can for disposal, and then return filtered air to the shop. The book also covers other collection methods such as whole shop air filtration and using shop vacuums for dust collection. Three DIY plans for different air scrubbers are also included. With proper dust collection installed, you'll spend less time cleaning and more time woodworking. More importantly, proper dust collection helps protect you from known health hazards that have been linked to wood dust. This is a practical and important guide for all woodworkers, and an essential book for anyone putting together a new wood shop.
