Dust Collection


I use a Grizzly G1029 dust collector, with a few modifications. I added a homemade vane in the midsection between the upper and lower bags, to direct the air down into the lower bag. I also replaced the upper bag with a canister filter from Wynn Environmental. Details of these modifications are in the links below.

My ducts are PVC Sewer and Drain pipe, also called "ASTM 2729". I bought this from a local plumbing supply wholesale shop. I made my own blastgates, based on designs I found elsewhere on the Internet, mainly Terry Hatfield's webpage.
