Being
aggressive in cleaning dust from the air in your shop doesn’t necessarily
mean you have to spend a ton on new equipment.
Choose the system that’s right for you!
Dust collection systems are now more affordable than ever. These are
among the most popular versions of dust collection systems for home
shops:

 If
you’re looking for a fairly powerful dust collection system,
but don’t have the space or the desire to set up a fixed dust
collection system, consider the #22878
JET Portable Dust Collector. It’s easily wheeled from one
tool to the next and doesn’t take up a lot of space. Portable
collectors use a hood near the work area to gather dust left by routing
or sanding operations into a bag. It can also be hooked up to any
power tool with a 4-inch port. |

 If
you’re ready for a centralized dust collection system, the #22642
JET DC-1100 Dust Collector is a good choice that outperforms all
others in its class. It is essentially a large impeller that pushes
dust and chips into a 30-micron filter bag, then pushes air out through
another 30-micron filter bag. Most shop vacuums are low-powered, single-stage
collectors, making them a far-from-perfect choice for use with large
stationary power tools.

Ever forget to open and close the blast gates? That’s a slip-up that
often results in an unbalanced system, reduced performance, and actually
increases dust. The Ecogate
Blast Gate System eliminates this problem. It features an electronically-controlled,
motorized blast gate that opens and closes automatically when your
machine is turned on or off. The Ecogate Blast Gate saves you time,
helps protect your health, and saves you money on energy. Included
in the #24726
system are four 4-inch motorized blast gates, sensors, and a control
system. Individual blast gates with cable and sensors are also available
(sold separately). |
