Hi J,

What make and model do you have that handles the .5 micron particulates?

Did you research any others before you selected the one you have?

thanks
George

If you are trying to keep the harmful dust out of your lungs it is a
waste of money. No repeat no DC will get the sub 5 micron stuff out of
the air, The ones that say they will remove down to 3 microns will do so
after the dust has caked on the filter so almost NO air can get through.
That is the reason that commercial shops have the DC venting outside. If
you can see it it, is not dangerous but under 5 microns the lungs can't
expel it.

Uh, mine has 0.5 micron filters that move plenty of air.

Be careful with your sweeping generalizations.

In any case, the device he is looking at is not a dust collector, it is an
air filter with two stage filtration to 1 micron and is intended to be
used as an adjunct to a dust collector. Its primary purpose is to clear
the fines that remain suspended after the dust collector has done its
thing.

I may build one of those myself one of these days--if I just leave the
cyclone going for a while it accomplishes the same thing but the filter
draws a lot less power.

Hello, i am considering buying an air filter for my workshop, and any
thoughts or input from your own experience will be welcome.
At the moment i am looking at the perform air filter from Axminster.

Is i nessecary to change the filters , or can you clean them.
