Title: Air filtration....amazing difference
Post by: PEARL DRUMS on January 03, 2012, 12:57:18 pm: I saved my Christmas pennies for an air filtration system for my shop. WOW! Its completely amazing the difference it has made in my shop's air. Its was only a few hundred bucks and super simple to mount on the ceiling. I would highly suggest one for everybody working any type of wood, arrows, bows, whatever your pleasure. I can seriously watch fines float upward quickly and heavies drop right down to the floor. Spend the coin guys! ;)

Just stirring up dust on the floor and such is a mess. It has a remote and I turn it on when I hit the lights. It stays on the whole time in working on anything. Very little noise comes from it as weel. Thats good cause I need to hear my tunes when Im working.

It compares to not owning a bandsaw the first 20-30 stave bows. Now Im paying dearly with bad elbows, shoulders and wrists. I didnt want my lungs to be next. Spend the money and dont look back guys. And like you said Jonathan that layer of dust on everything sucks bad, especially when you need something under it.
