jason0012 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Okay, this is not directly a grinder question so it might belong somewhere else, but under grinders was my best guess. Belt grinders chew up a LOT of steel and generate a lot of dust. I would like to minimize the airborne dust as well as the piles on the floor, tables, shelves, ect. I like the booths that I see some folks using- putting the grinders in their own room. To some degree grinding dust, from angle grinders, will just be something that must be tolerated, but a dust collection system would surely help. My current shop has a sort of dust collector, but it is equipped with cloth bags and the ductwork is run across the ceiling. ( weird right? It turns out the previous owner rented it as a grow operation. The ducting makes more sense with that tidbit) most of the information i see online is for wood based systems. I am concerned about sparks and certainly not going to blow my dust up each wall and across the ceiling. I definitely need something different, but what? I would like to be able to line 3 or 4 grinders up with a system that will deposit their debris out side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Set it up to aim the heavy particles into a bucket of water and then move the lighter particles to a collector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I solved the problem by moving the belt grinder outside when using it, kinda low tech though effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
