dust problem
I'm concerned about the dust hazard in my shop and am trying to make
my shop more dust-proof and have done the following: - Built a cyclone dc. - Built a ambient dust collector to filter the dust floating in the air. - Just bought a Trend Airshield Pro to protect my face/lungs. Now, I am wanting to exhaust as much dust to the outside of my shop as possible. I searched the Internet for information on exhaust fans similar to the ones used by sawmills, but they are expensive and large. I'm also thinking about venting the dust/chips from my cyclone dc outside. My shop is 24x32x8 high and in the country, so dust discharged outside shouldn't be a problem. I may make a collection box outside to collect the dust/chips if I go that route. My questions: 1. Can I build a exhaust fan unit to discharge dusty air from my shop to the outside? If so, how large a fan and does it have to be a slow- speed fan? Or will a gable vent fan work? 2. Is it O.K. To do away with the collection bin located below the cyclone? And do away with the filters? And just have everything go outside? Rob |
