The core of the system is a Hoover whole-house vacuum system mounted onto a cart. Large-scale dust collection is handled via an ebay-ed cyclone separator and a bucket (to start, we're using a 55 gallon drum, but a 5 gallon bucket is the better long-term solution…)
For bench-mounted tools, we are implementing dust collection ports. At present, there is a length of 1 1/2“ Schedule 40 pipe with a number of Tees, ending in a ball valve (for further expansion.
Next steps:
- Purchase blast gates
- Purchase hoses to get from blast gates to tools
- Purchase or print adapters from tools to hoses
Upgrades:
- HEPA filter
