Dust Collection Videos
Effective dust collection and protective equipment is essential for personal safety and workshop cleanliness.
Why Dust Collection is Important
Dust collection may seem daunting, but the key tactics can be broken down into four essential areas: portable dust extractors, dust collectors, PPE, and air scrubbers.
Shop Vacuums and Extractors
While shop vacuums work well for cleaning, for working with portable tools, a proper dust extractor is a worthwhile step up.
Collectors
Dust collectors are the backbone of a workshop system. There are myriad options available, so it’s important to be aware some key factors when choosing the right one for your situation.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Regardless of what dust collection you use, it's good practice to wear PPE for operations that create a lot of fine dust.
Air Scrubbers
Ideally, all dust would be collected at the source, but no matter how effective your primary collection, some always seems to escape. That’s where an air filter or scrubber comes in.
