Do you guys find it necessary to use Hepa Filters working new projects at home? Do you think
they’re overkill for home use on fresh hardwood projects.
HEPA is a important filter to have working onsite or when you’re working on home renovation projects. HEPA filters seven like overkill for dust collection when breaking down new plywood with a track saw or routing with a router table.
Hepa filters for Rigid, Festool, Bosch and dewalt bags are ridiculously overpriced. They’re also very fragile compared to a high quality self cleaning filter. You can’t use filter cleaning systems with them due to their fragile nature.
With dry wall dust, sanding oil stained and varnished surfaces, a HEPA certified filter is a must.
A lot filters sold by companies as HEPA filters don’t actually meet the current requirement to actually be a HEPA certified filter.
The current standard requires .03 microns.
A lot of filters sold for Rigid and ShopVac are .10 but are still being labelled as HEPA filters even when they don’t meet the current standards. This creates more confusion for people.
Bosch, Dewalt, Festool, Fein, ect are .03 micron.
What’s your take on HEPA filters on new projects your building in your home shop?
