The Perfect Dust Solution for Small Shops and Garages — Timber Biscuit Woodworks

08 Sep.,2023

 

Most woodshops, no matter how small, need some form of dust collection. Whether it's a single unit mounted on the wall or a central system that runs throughout the shop, getting rid of the sawdust is important for both cleanliness and safety.

There are a few different options when it comes to small shop dust collection. Wall-mounted units are a popular choice, as these units typically come with one or two ports that can be connected using hoses or duct work to various tools in the shop.

Another option is a portable dust collector. These units are smaller and can be easily moved around the shop as needed. They're also much cheaper than a dedicated dust system making them a good option for budget-conscious woodworkers.

Finally, there are central dust collection systems. These are more expensive and require more installation, but they're the most effective way to collect dust in a woodshop. Central systems typically have a larger capacity than wall-mounted or portable units, so they can handle multiple tools at the same time.

I just upgraded my 440 square foot shop’s dust collection with the Mini Gorilla by Oneida Air Systems, which is a portable dust collector. Dust collection is such a hot topic in the woodworking community, so let’s dive into why I went with the Mini Gorilla and you can decide if it’s the right fit for you.

The Importance of Dust Collection in Woodworking

Everyone knows that dust collection is important in woodworking for a number of reasons. First, it helps to improve air quality by removing airborne contaminants such as fine dust, and other particulates, making the air safer to breathe. This can make the shop more pleasant to work in and improve overall health and safety. Additionally, dust collection can also help to reduce noise levels and keep the shop clean. These systems work by drawing in contaminated air and passing it through a series of filters. The filtered air is then discharged back into the shop, leaving the contaminants behind. This process is repeated continuously, providing a constant supply of clean air back into the shop.

So keeping that in mind, those are the features that I am looked for in a new dust collection system - it’s ability to remove airborne contaminants, ease of setup and maneuverability, and noise reduction, and cost - as these can get super expensive!
