I'm looking at adding an air filtration system to the shop. I'm tired of wearing a dust mask for two hours after I use the equipment in this room, and let's not even talk about the fine layer of dust that settles on everything.
It looks like the two viable options are the Deltal and Jet models. The shop is 18' x 22.5' with 10' foot ceilings.
Does anyone have experience with either of these two brands? And should I spend the extra $150+ to get the larger Delta system?
How about the JDS 750ER? Works great and comes with an electro-static filter for no extra charge.
I use two box fans. I use a good 3m filter up against the fan and one of those cheapies in front of it. One of them is near the workbench and use it mainly when I am sanding, the other is hanging from the ceiling and it made a big difference. I used to have lots of dust settling all over everything. Now there is very little if any dust that settles. Then again my shop is a one car garage about 12X18.
