Would appreciate comments from anyone who owns an air filtration
system.

I am looking at the Powermatic PM1200 and the Jet AFS1000B.

Thanks for any comments.

I have the Jet, it works well. Mounted to the ceiling, I made a
pattern of the holes so I could mount the tabs to the ceiling joists.
Then hanging it up is a one man job.

They keep the shop cleaner by catching dust before it settles on your
stuff. I like mine for just that. They don't make the air any safer,
you still need your dust mask and dust collector to do that.

If your dust collection is working right, is there a need? I'd prefer
to catch dust at its source rather than after it gets into the air.

IF you can, duct the discharge from the DC outside your building. I built a small shed to house the discharge from pipe, even put a half moon on the door. If you do duct outside, do not put a catch bucket in the little building, the back pressure will cut your thought put. Trust me on this one.

Dust collection can't get it all. My vac connects directly to my ROS. I still get airborne
dust. I upgraded the dust collection system on my miter saw. It collects a lot more than
the stock chute, but you know how messy a miter saw is. The DC on the split fence on
my router table works great, but not 100%. Then there's hand sanding. Even with a box
fan setup you'll never catch it all.

That "settles" it. Dust will find a place to land. ;-)

A downdraft table works very well for this application.

While sending everything out of the shop would be ideal it doesn't
work well in a heated and air conditioned shop.

I absolutely agree with this.

That works if the project, or parts thereof, fit on the table. Beds,
cabinets, bookcases...not so much.

I don't build a lot of small stuff. I'm more of a "full size" kind
of guy. ;-)

I don't seem to get much fine dust. The miter saw makes a mess, sure,
but it's throws around pretty large particles and they don't go far. I
have a tent that catches almost all of it.

But a room air filter isn't going to even see the large stuff. It'll
land close to the tool. The fine stuff is taken away with good tool
connected dust collection.

A tent like that would take up half my shop!

I spent $600 on the Bosch Glide saw because I don't have room for the slide bars that hang off
the rear of regular sliding miter saws, nevermind a huge tent behind it.

I have been feeding the vortex created when I bought a lathe a few

But the SMCS throws off big stuff (and everywhere, granted). The big
stuff doesn't get into the air, where the room filter could get it.
The small stuff is dangerous and fairly easily collected at the
source.
