Looking for a new dust collector for the shop. Something really good at collecting cork dust. Any recommendations. I don't mind spending a good buck as long as it's a good one. Thanks - Marc Keep it simple - that's all I can handle! Re: Dust Collector Recomendations

Most of these do a very good job.
You want a very big bag, a very strong, or high HP motor and a good collection system. [www.amazon.com] Be safe Re: Dust Collector Recomendations

p.s.
If you can have the wood shop where you have turning, drilling and sanding done, in a separate building from your rod wrapping and finish room, it is to your very big advantage in keeping dust out of your finished product.

Barry,
I wonder, if there were still a dust problem with dust entering the vacuum, that a perhaps a water filter, might be a good idea. I have a water filter that I use with my shop vacuum when sanding sheet rock. Sheet rock is very abrasive and tough on things, including one's lungs. But, with the use of a water filter, virtually all of the sheet rock dust is left in the water filter and very little if any - ever enter the vacuum, to possibly blow through its filters.

Marc,
p.p.s. Perhaps the single biggest factor in a good dust collection system, is to install and use a system, where the use of the system does NOT clog the filter system quickly. i.e. you want the dust collection system to be able to be used for very long periods of time without cleaning and without clogging and to be able to remain effective, without cutting down the dust collection efficiency or with the air passage of the system. It is just fine that a dust collection system collects dust and filters the air very well when it is first installed. But, if you lose 1/2 of your air passage ability, or 1/2 of the dust collecting ability of the system within a few hours of use with the system, one really needs to be using a different collection system. That is why you see systems with very large bags, with cyclonic dust deflectors, with multi stage and or water filters part of the system. All of these different parts of a good dust collection system, allow a system to work very well initially for dust collection, as well as using for a long period of time, up to the point where the overall dust collection system is filled to at least the 50-70% maximum capacity point of the system. I have many different vacuum and collection systems in use, and once in a while I may overlook maintenance on one of the systems for a bit. Then, I remark to myself, how much better the system is working when I perform a periodic maintenance on the system and clean and ore replace filters. Be safe Re: Dust Collector Recomendations
