Shop Update for 12/23/16: Dust Right Dust Filter and Collector

Little Dust Collector, BIG Green Machine

This week has been a bit slow in the shop as I was finishing up a few gifts on the lathe but my new dust filter and hose showed up. So I installed it on the wall in its new place. I’ve had this dust collector for more than 8 years so there is no question how well it works, but I always felt the dust bag was the weak point and I wanted true 1 micron filtration. The new canister filter fits that bill and I’m really pleased with the space saving nature of this entire system.

I also got a question about how effective the built in mobile base is on my Grizzly planer so showed a quick demonstration of how well it moves the 900lb machine.
