Grizzly 0548 Dust Collection System

The dust collector is a workhorse of any woodshop. Regardless of which machine you are leaning on they are often all connected to a centralized dust collection system. For some shops, you can use a household shop vac. For heavier uses, you will want dedicated hardware to manage your dust collection needs.

Our shop leans on two separate Grizzly dust collectors. The smaller unit handles the band saw and 12″ disc sander. The larger unit, pictured, handles the drum sander, 15″ planer, 6″ jointer, table saw, drill press and lathe.

Picking out the proper dust collector for your needs can be a tricky problem and often comes down to a combination of budget, available space and the number of high volume machines you will be running at any one time. We often have the lathe and table saw running together on different projects so we wanted something with enough CFM (Cubic Feet Per Minute – How much air it can move) to pull from both machines effectively. While 1000-1200 should handle the distance and machines we would be using this 1700 cfm unit will do the same without straining itself.

With a filter rating of 1-micron, the canister filter on this machine has 6 times the filtering area of regular bag filters and it has a built-in cleaning brush that is easy to operate from the outside. Simply move the convenient top-mounted lever back and forth to remove any dust caked onto the filter, and in seconds you are back to full performance capacity. This unit has a heavy-duty steel adapter that allows three 4″ lines to be connected simultaneously. The steel duct from the impeller to the filter improves performance and reliability and with just a glance you’ll know when it’s time to haul out the chips thanks to the clear bottom bags. Extra bags ship with the machine and are available from us to really make cleaning easy. CSA Certified meeting CAN/CSA C22.2 #243-M91 and UL 1017-4th standards!
