workshop dust control
I'm building a bunch of bookcases in my basement workshop. I need to control dust and I'm considering the following:
2 box fans in a frame facing opposite directions furnace filters on the top sides and bottom the fans will suck the air through the filters and clean it, while generating a nice breeze in the area Is there a better (and similarly cheap) way to accomplish the dust control? I don't have an easy way to vent to the outside. |

Sears and probably others sell a system with clear plastic tubes about 2 inches in diameter. You can also get valves to go with them. You glue them together like plastic sprinker pipe so they have openings at places where you produce dust (saw, sander, etc.). It is hooked up to a shop vac and you turn it on and open the valve(s) near to where you want the dust to be evacuated from. My neighbor had a settup in his little shop and it worked pretty well.
