The House Of Balsa Dust / Air filter discharge

FilterOutput

 
The air outlet end of the powered air filter.

The hardware needed to build this type powered air filter includes a permanent washable pre-filter, permanent washable electrostatic filter, disposable (non-washable) filter bag, blower, discharge register, power cord, and an ordinary domestic light switch.

You'll need a couple of hours to build the housing from your choice of materials; I used 6mm paneling because I had it. 1/4" plywood would serve nicely, but would add considerable weight (no, it doesn't have to fly but you do need to be able to suspend it from your shop ceiling !)

I connected my filter to the light circuit so it's running when the lights are on (I don't make much balsa dust in the dark).
