I'm working through my design of a downdraft sanding table and have a couple of ideas I'd like to bounce off all of you smart people.

I'm trying to create a "catch" for dust in a downdraft sanding table, somewhat like a cyclone would do.

Idea #1 just has a vertical panel before the filters.

Idea #2 has an angled panel before the filters. I was thinking this may allow the dust to settle better and not get sucked up into the filters.

What are your thoughts? See attachments. BTW, there's a lot of work left to do so keep the critiques to this portion please

Thanks,

Kyle
