Diy woodshop air filtration system. As per the cut list in my free plans i cut plywood strips 1 wide and use them to create a frame to house the filters i measure and mark the locations of the filter frames and attach the strips with wood glue and brad nails. Once this is determined a merv parameters chart is used to determine the merv rating. There are plenty of store bought systems out there to filter the air but they can be pricey.

Proper air filtration is an often overlooked safety feature in many workshops. The filter efficiency is high the airflow outstanding. Wen equipment is always a real winner when it comes to value for money. If you re familiar with wen products you ll know what i mean.

Air quality is always an issue for woodworkers especially if we are working in a basement or when we don t want to give up the heat in the shop to an open window during those cold winter months.

As the cheapest air filtration system in this review the wen 3410 certainly lives up to this reputation.

In addition i have a ceiling mounted shop dust filtration system moving air at over 900 cfm and capturing a claimed 99 of particles down to 5 microns in size. The two particle counts are compared to calculate the particle size efficiency of the tested filter. The filters that i used for this air cleaner measure 16 x20 x1 so i designed my air cleaner to accommodate this size filter. Fred osborne march 6 2016 at 7 28 am.

Most woodworking tools are setup with a vacuum system but for those that don t have one a mobile air cleaner cart. Even though this is a very affordable air filtration system it s built to be rugged and dependable. You will be surprise at the dust you collect even with your dust collectors vacuums and good housecleaning. The classic choice for large professional shops the beastly powerful jet afs 2000 is one of the best shop air filtration systems i ve ever had.

I routinely measure 400 to 600 cfm at the machine dust collector pipe interfaces even the ones furthest from the cyclone. Woodshop first aid ppe safety a necessary discussion.
