SETUP
DESIGNING.THE.SYSTEM
General
This dust collector can be operated as either a stationary,
central dust collector or a mobile unit. There are
advantages and disadvantages to both setups. The
advantage of the mobile system is eliminating the cost of
many ducts and fittings. On the other hand, the stationary
system is more efficient and customizable.
If using this dust collector as a stationary system, put
the dust collector in an out-of-the way location such as
a corner or separate room. The dust collector is capable
of collecting dust from up to two machines running
simultaneously. Woodstock offers a complete line of dust
collection accessories for setting up a stationary, central
dust collector system. Additionally, Woodstock offers
a complete guide book entitled Dust.Collection.Basics.
(refer to Page.30 for additional details).
Whatever system you choose, always make sure there
are no open flames or pilot lights in the same room as
the dust collector. There is a risk of explosion if dust is
dispersed into the air.
Always guard against
static electric build-up
by grounding all dust
collection lines.
Duct.Material
You have many choices regarding main line and branch
line duct material. For best results, use metal duct for
the main line and branch lines, then use short lengths
of flexible hose to connect each machine to the branch
lines.
Plastic duct is also a popular material for home shops.
However, be aware that there is a fire or explosion hazard
if plastic duct material is used for dust collection without
being grounded against static electrical charge build-up.
This topic will be discussed later in this section. Another
problem with using plastic is that it is less efficient per
foot than metal.
