Whether it's a great deal, or a carpenter shop garage collecting dust weekends smaller than a luxury. In this article we will discuss the importance of dealing with dust woodwork and make it easier for you to start designing dust control strategy that really works.
Because the dust is important?
Research continues on the health effects of long-term exposure to workshop dust. In the debate on the seriousness of health risksExposure to wood dust, one seems to be universally accepted: the risks are real. A quick Internet search brings hundreds of sources of information on health effects of dust woodwork, including the well-recognized organizations, such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has joined. Here is an excerpt from his introduction to the theme of wood dust and health:
"Wood dust is a potential health problem when wood particlesProcesses such as grinding and cutting in the air. Inhalation of these particles may be allergic respiratory diseases, mucous membranes and allergic respiratory diseases and cancer ... "
Dust and dirt lathe is also a physical danger. In many small businesses, "Dust" means to break a broom and dust pan for a few minutes at the end of the day. But during a work session to go up, workers routinely kicked too much wood on a pile of plane shavings, or aresaw on a slippery, quarter of an inch of sawdust carpets, and the cards last year put in a big stack from their table. But it only takes a second for a slip or stumble upon a pile of ruins and end up with an injury that will keep them out of the shop for a long time.
To deal with two types of dust
Large dust particles, chips and powder of precious wood: the dust that a wood shop produces can be divided into two general categories. These two types of "dust" anyhave their negative impact on your business of wood, and each requires a different strategy for adequate control.
Pick up large chips
Created by far the largest volume of deposits falls in most large shops in the dust particles of wood chips category. Most of the mountain of "dust" that collects under the saw and the router behind the table is actually the wood chips, shavings and dust particles that are too large and too heavy to stayAir for a long time. A dust collector is just too appropriate for this large amount of debris.
A vacuum system works by capturing dust and dirt in a woodworking air flow and transport through the system of pipes to a collection area. A dust filter is used called an induction motor of large size to a particular type of fan wheel. The dust collector is a type of fan motor and impeller 1HP or more to produce the large volume of air requiredflow required to move to produce large quantities of dust and dirt machines for woodworking.
The choice of a dust collector
Choosing the right dust collector is a matter of sizing up and dust collection needs to buy a machine that is the size of your shop, the tools in your shop and your woodworking habits.
Fortunately, hunters may not need to dust more powerful on the market. A small portable dust collector is a good option if you work in aCompact, a soloist and store your priorities are convenience and simplicity. A portable dust collector is moved from one machine to another, and only with a wooden tool, whether it is in use. This keeps them near the instrument, improving its ability to attract, in a large amount of debris.
A great, powerful suction air is naturally more forcefully to overcome friction as a small portable device, and therefore can not service machinery, which are producedlarge amounts of dirt. In addition, because of their greater ability to overcome the internal resistance of the system, more dust filter can be installed further away from individual machines, so that the most advantageous for the central dust collector.
Dealing with fine wood powder
A dust filter alone is rarely sufficient protection against the dangers of dust. In fact, even better leave the dust clouds of tiny particles of dust floating in the airthrough the air. To adequately control large amounts of debris both large and significant amount of fine dust which produces woodworking machinery, there is almost always necessary to add to your collection of dust with an air filtration system.
A filter system to remove is really little more than a fan and a series of filters, the tiny particles of dust from the air in your shop. Many come with a built-in timer that turns the unit off automatically aftera certain period.
The choice of an adequate system is similar to choosing the right dust collector. It is necessary to control the size of your shop and choose a device that is up to the task. To be effective, it has an air filtration device to be through the entire volume of air in your workshop planned 6 to 8 times per hour.
Fortunately, the air filtering systems for almost all the shops sizes are available. As filters for dust, the performance of a system's air filter measuredVolume of air moved in cubic feet per minute (cfm). Many other air filtration systems for hobby shops in the area are rated 1000 cfm, which means that filter the entire volume of air in a 20 'X 20' shop more than 12 times per hour.
Time to start
For many enthusiasts and owners of small business professional, an appropriate dust collector falls into the category "luxury" - with many more tools to buy, a powder that can really handle the dustStay at the bottom of the priority list for a long time. But, as stated earlier in this article, there are many good reasons to start seriously collecting dust now.
