Background
Dust collection in the shop can be improved to reduce down time, increase effectiveness and ease of use, and make it quieter.
I suggest we do the following:
- Replace the two filters in the Clearvue cyclone filter stack. $165 each from Wynn.
- Enclose the collector rack with an acoustic barrier. Add a muffler to the exhaust.
- Automate the blast gates. When a machine is turned on, the blast gate (valve in the duct) will open and stay open for a few seconds.
- Replace the fine dust bin below the filter stack with a wood bin tall enough to support the stack without the orange bucket. The goals are to add dust holding capacity and support the stack more securely.
- Add more equipment to the collection system. The new bandsaw, jointer, router table and sanders should be added.
- Add more dust collection capacity. The Clearvue system can support 2 or sometimes 3 simultaneously running machines. When the shop is busy, we exceed this.
- Add overhead dust collection to the sawstop. This was in the original dust collection vote, but we didn't get it due to a long lead time on the part. http://www.thesharkguard.com/sharkdc.php
- Flow sensor to the duct and pressure sensors before and after the cyclone.
- Bin level sensors for the cyclone bin and the filter stack bin.
- Enclose the filter stack so we can apply a burst of pressure to clean the filter.
- Better filter/small cyclone for the Jet dust collector.
Language
We authorize the board to spend up to $xxxx to buy equipment and supplies to improve dust collection for the shopbot and woodshop.
This spending authority will expire 180 days after it goes into effect.
