Three of us stayed back an extra two hours at the Men’s Shed today, reorganising the setup of machinery & dust extraction ducting to moved machines. We’ve decided to buy a hang-from-the-ceiling room air particulate filter because there’s always some airborne dust particles that the ducted system can’t collect.
Another fitting that’s going to be installed on the floor beneath the wood lathe is a half-metre wide vacuum duct. Imagine an extra-wide dust shovel, fixed to the floor & connected to a powerful ducted vacuum system. The idea is to sweep debris directly to the mouth of the thing & get it sucked outside into the two bins at the end of the ducted dust collection system.
