System.Design
Decide.Who.Will.Design
For most small-to-medium sized shops, you can design and
build the dust collection system yourself without hiring
engineers or consultants. We have included some basic
information here to get you started on a basic design.
If you have a large shop or plan to design a complicated
system, we recommend doing additional research beyond
this manual or seeking the help of an expert.
Sketch.Your.Shop.Layout
When designing a successful dust collection system,
planning is the most important step. In this step, sketch a
basic layout of your shop, including space requirements of
different machines.
Your sketch only needs the basic details of the shop
layout, similar to Figure.25, including all your current/
planned machines and your planned placement of the
dust collector.
Sketch.a.Duct.Layout
For the next step, sketch how you will connect your
machines to the dust collector. Consider these general
guidelines for an efficient system:
1. Machines that produce the most saw dust should be
placed nearest to the dust collector (i.e. planers and
sanders).
2. Ideally, you should design the duct system to have
the shortest possible main line and secondary branch
ducts. See Figures.26–27.for ideas of efficient versus
inefficient duct layouts.
