If there was room, I would have titled this post "Everything you wanted to know about dust collection" because this guy's website has it all. Here is the link: http://www.billpentz.com/woodworking/cyclone/index.cfm I'd recommend a read through it even if you think you have the dust problem well settled, there's still plenty to learn for most folks. rstermer | ||

Good information, I know I still have a ways to go, but I like the start I have made.

I just ran across this site, it is good! I have a small shed (7'x14') I'm slowly hoping to use for some wood working projects. I'm looking for dust collection options... No power in there yet, I run an extension cord from the house when I need to use a power tool (like my new router!) The dust collection systems I see online seem like overkill for my shop, though I could be wrong. Any opinions on buying a shop vac and using it with a Hepa Filter for dust collection? My shop is small enough I could even stick the vac outside and run the tube inside, so the fine particles would be shot outside.... | ||

Hi Bob I suggest you put wheels on your router table and just roll it outside the shop, the router is a great dust maker and the great out doors will do the trick many members do the same thing...if you don't have some concrete out side your shed a 4' x 8' plywood for a floor will work ..just cut some cir.holes out for the wheels to drop in, to keep your router table from moving around on you.. ======= Quote:

Thanks Bobj3! That's a good idea. I actually have a plunge/fixed router, not a router table. Setting up a good work bench outside would be a good way to go, except during the winter! I'm not toooooo worried about doing minor wood working in the shed, as it has three windows (one that's about 3'x3', two smaller ones) that open wide, and 5'x8' door on the front. Lots of air flow for dust! (Or so I think?) :/ | ||

Hi Bob Your welcome. think WorkMate ,then you have a router table that's quick and easy to setup out side or in the shop. In the shop pickup one of the window fans that just hangs in front of the window, it will push out most of the air dust but a dusk mask works the best for the small shop. ====== Quote:

Hi, Welcome to the router forums. You will still want to think about some sort of DC... for your lungs. A half mask respirator, a dust mask, something and most definetly safety glasses. Even outside, the dust will float in the air, you'll still inhale it, not good for your lungs. Not to mention getting any of that dust in your eyes.

Thanks. Yeah, I have a lee valley comfort fit respirator I wear when wood working, and safety glasses. Good thing I found out about DC at the beginning of my wood working/routing hobby! I can imagine a lot of this stuff isn't on the radar of a lot of hobbyists. | ||

When my grand dad was alive, he used to say, take care of yourself first before doing any projects. Sadly, he never followed his own advice, emphysema got the better of him.
