Dust system

[joe marra]

Hi Guys, installed my new dust system today, fellow turner Jack Savona showed me how to make it. Sanded all day no dust in the shop or in my nose, works great.

For some reason, Joe, I can't click on the pics...so it is hard to see what I'm looking at (and I'm looking at a 65" screen!) Maybe I'll try back later... Looks cool, though.

[joe marra]

I tried again, with no luck. Don't know what I'm doing wrong. Sorry.

So we are seeing a box fan with a filter in front of it, and the whole thing over a trash can, right?

[joe marra]

Correct, but it works.

[Brian Kent]

I think it look brilliantly simple!

I think that the original images are too small to be enlarged... I mean that they are probably the original image size.... ???

[John Thorson]

So, what kind of filter or filters? Are you trying to get the 'under 1 micron' dust or just the majority that used to go into the air? How often you you have to change the filter(s)?

[Jim Burr]

See the duplicate thread for the correct answer.

[Mike Daly]

Hi Joe, I would appreciate further details particularly about the type of filter you have used and how the dust drops into the container

[joe marra]

Mike, I use Web Eco Filter Plus (FPR4) bought it a Lowes. It it washable. The container in the photo just catches the chips from turning.

I'm still wondering why you don't use breathing protection 24/7 while in the shop? You have a family?
