HEPA Air purifier(s) for fine dust

[Delaney]

I’m still in the “I’m not sure if I’ll like this hobby” phase of woodworking, so ideally this is a budget minded purchase.

But also don’t want to mess up my future heath because of this, so just trying to find the right balance.

I guess that me saying I’m not sure how much money I have to fund the dust collection. After some SketchUp sessions last night, the stud wall is going to cost ~£300. After that, I’m going to need to wait a bit before revisiting dust collection, but at least both the gym and workshop will be usable.

Bare in mind, if you buy a good condition used air scrubber, if you don’t end up using it, you’ll be able to sell it for mostly what you paid, so unlike a wall or buying new, you have made an investment rather than ‘spent money’.

Totally get that, and I think an air filter/scrubber is on the table at some point. I think it’s just I’m coming to the conclusion that having the workshop and gym together is a health hazard, even with the filter, so the wall is being prioritised.

Filter is certainly the next purchase though. I think my shop vac can live for a while longer with the table saw before getting a dedicated dust collector. I’ll just be more diligent blowing the saw dust out the garage door after every session.
