Dust Collectors
January 15, 2025 - Woodworkers often think of adding a dust collector only after purchasing their shop's essential machinery. But we encourage you to consider new or upgraded dust collection now, regardless of your current tool lineup. Hooking up your dust- and chip-making machines to a collector reduces your time spent cleaning, as well as—hopefully—the amount of fine dust that lingers in the air before eventually settling. A fully ducted system with a large collector might be a luxury outside your budget. Fortunately, smaller, portable single-stage collectors can do the job well, and go easy on the wallet, too.

r/woodworking on Reddit: Looking for dust collection recommendations for small shop
April 21, 2023 -
My 11 x 20 garage doubles as my workshop and gym. I use a mix of hand tools and power tools (bandsaw, drill press, router table, and eventually a track saw), and dust gets everywhere. My current dust collection setup is a 5 gallon shop vac with a hepa bag & filter, and a broom.
Just spending time in there for 30 minutes without doing anything irritates my nose, so I think it's time to get serious about dust collection. I have a $1000 budget and am looking for recommendations.
I'm consdering getting both:
- a Dust Right collector
- an air filtration system I can hang from the ceiling (maybe the $300 Rikon model. Not sure how good the Wen ones are)
I'm sure some might think this is overkill, but I care more about my lung health than the $1000. I also plan on upgrading my shop space in the near future.
I'd love to get people's opinions on this. Thanks in advance!

Two things: buy a cheap box fan and a high mirv filter. That should address the air filtration. buy the harbor freight 2hp single stage collector. It's the cheapest, and they're all sorta the same. But the Wynn filter for the harbor freight instead of using the bag that comes with it, since the bag didn't filter fine enough, turning the dc into a dust pump for the most dangerous dust.

November 6, 2024 - More importantly, it also told me the two critical figures I needed to select a dust collector that would satisfy my shop’s requirements. The first figure, CFM (cubic feet per minute), denotes the collector’s capacity required to clear away chips, shavings and dust. The second figure, SP (static pressure), is the resistance encountered by the air stream and particulate as it makes its way down the ducting system.

The design principles for a small shop dust collection are the same as for a large shop, that being you want to capture the dust at its source and not let it get airborne. The big difference with small shop and low-cost systems is that instead of installing a ducting system that brings the dust to a powerful collector, you can significantly reduce space and cost requirements by bringing the dust collector to the tool producing the dust.
