|  Dust Collection HI I'm new to this so hopfully I'm in the right place. I would like to do Power carving in the House, Power carving at -20 celcius in the garage is no fun at all. Does anyone know of where I can find plans for a Dust collection System I can build for this purpose. Thanks Mike |

| I guess the easiest dust collector for this that has been posted on here would be a 24" box fan with a furnace filter fastend in front of it. I imagine you could make a small table with the fan in it.

| Carl where do you come up with these ideas. Must be the long cold British Colombian winters. I am going to build one of those this week end.

| If you add a high level filter (for example a 3M micro allergen type) on the output side of the box fan it will even remove the majority of the very fine particles instead of just the coarse ones. Just be sure to clean or replace the filters when the air flow drops. You could even build a box around the fan with slots for the filters if you want to get real fancy. Just make the slot for the fine filter tight so air does not escape from around the filter.

| I know you want to build a filter, but one of the things I like best about my Jet filter is the timer that let's me leave it running for a couple of hours after I leave the workshop. You might think about some kind of timer to plug your filter into so it can continue cleaning the air after you're done making sawdust. Terry |
