Hi All,
I've made about 20 pens (using wood, acrylic and faux-stone). I have a small area in an unfinished basement (3m x 2M) in Toronto. I hung some shower curtains from the ceiling to act as a dust retainer (now you really know my level of experience!). It's time to get some REAL dust and air equipment. I want to continue turning pens and for health reasons some new equipment seems reasonable. I'm looking at purchasing from KING Canada a 600 CFM Dust Collector($260.) as well as a 3 Speed Portable Air Cleaner ($230.). I have been shutting off the furnace and furnace fan any time I use the lathe but my wife (upstairs) still gets a strong sensation of dust in my lungs. My wife is getting me these two pieces for my birthday.
If anyone has any comments or suggestions it would be much appreciated. Sorry for the rambling.Not sure how much to include for feedback. Thanks.
Cheers,
Rob
