Introduction/Safety

Dust Free Woodworking

The Shopsmith Air Filtration System provides

an efficient and effective means to collect

wood shavings and dust from the workshop.

Unlike conventional shop vacuums, the Dust

Collector is designed to collect and filter the

large volume of dust and shavings produced

with modem woodworking equipment. When

used in conjunction with efficient dust collec-

tion chutes and attachments, the Dust Collec-

tor will help you approach “dustfree” wood-

working.

Airflow is the Key

The “heart” of the Shopsmith Dust Collector

is a large industrial blower which moves large

volumes of air. The dust and shavings pass

through the blower, are slowed down, and

then settle in the disposable bag. The air is

then returned to the room after passing

through a large, permanent filter capable of

filtering even the smallest wood dust par-

ticles.

As you put your hand over the end of the hose

you will not feel the high vacuum, or sealed

suction, of a home or shop vacuum. A home

vacuum cleaner needs this sealed suction to

move air through small openings. A shop

vacuum also requires a high sealed suction

when used for water pick-up. The large air-

flow of the Shopsmith Dust Collector can be

“observed” by placing a few fingers into the

end of the hose. The airflow of the Shopsmith

Dust Collector is much higher than any home

or shop vacuum.
