Dust Collection
Choosing a dust collector can be anything but simple. We've stripped away the mumbo-jumbo to show you what you really need to know.
It's ironic: Tablesaws create dust with every cut, but that same debris can restrict the saw's ability to tilt, elevate, and make more cuts.
No matter the size of your shop, you’ll enjoy the benefits of having a piped network of compressed air.
Tired of constantly dragging dust-collection hose from one machine to another?
Tackle the dust problem in your shop, but don’t guess on duct sizes and airflow. Easily calculate flow capacity, ductwork size, and how much static pressure loss your dust collector must overcome.
As your workshop grows, so do your dust-collection needs. Make today’s system handle tomorrow’s tools.
Dust collection is essential to keeping your shop and lungs clean, but not every shop has the space for a large dust collector.
