Thank you. Looks like I have a new build to do. The dust accumulation in my woodworking shop is bad, and that's with a dust collector. Sanding with a vacuum still will not get all the dust. To mutilate a saying, happy lungs, happy life! Thanks.
Thanks for the detailed build on the shop air cleaner. I was trying to think of some different options for suction fans. But now I have a better idea of what type of fan to use.
Great construct air cleaner! What can I advise on noise reduction. Try to set the speed control. This can reduce fan noise.
Darn that is smart. I just happen to have scrapped an air conditioner and have spent the last hour stripping it as I think that may work for the case and fan with a little tampering - and take two sets of filters simultaneously. I will download the specs on the filters and explore further then it hopefully just depends on ending the lockdown so I can get parts. At 76 I am in no hurry. Or maybe the squirrel cage from inside the house will work with a LOT of modification. I guess I better find out how loud it is too.
Thank you for being so conscientious and taking the extra time to recreate and post the pics after the Photobucket debacle! All the best.
Nice, good inspiration (take that either way) for those constructing air cleaning filters for dusts (and viruses).
