The Definative Book for the home shop wood worker, 20 Jan 2001
By Jim Halbert - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Controlling Dust in the Workshop (Paperback)
I spent years trying to get my wood shop dust collection system perfect. Spent a lot of money buying stuff that didn't work. Finally a clear, concise book that not only tells you what to do but what not to do.The author covers hidden items to look for when buying a DC like, motor classes and what to avoid, the effect the impeller diameter has on CFM performance and the type of sawdust collector bag you never want to use.The only thing I didn't like was the discussion on PVC vs metal duct. And that's OK because it's a personal preferrence thing that has no impact on performance. If you are thinking about buying a DC this book is the best investment you will ever make in your shop. Brings order to a very confused subject. The only other major book on DC's will leave you so confused you won't know what to do.

Clear and concise, 16 Jan 2002
By G. Clabo "gclabo" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Controlling Dust in the Workshop (Paperback)
This is the most clearly written book I could find on dust collection. The author makes it very clear that dust is dangerous to your long term health and then concisly states through pictures and words how to help you make woodworking a life long experience. I highly recommend this as a first and maybe only book on dust collection.

I can't believe I bought a book about Dust! It is great., 13 Oct 2001
By sti "2woody" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Controlling Dust in the Workshop (Paperback)
This book could save you life. Dust can be very dangerous. This book will more than pay for it's self when you decide to collect that dust instead of breathing it. The book is aimed a small commercial or home workshop. My family joked and laughed at me for buying a book about dust. After looking over the book, my son said it is interesting, and he was glad i bought it. I am just about finished with the instalation of a dust collection system in my shop. I used a lot of great input from this book. Peters recommends metal pipe over PVC. I have a friend who has a nice PVC system, and will be replacing the PVC with metal. In the past I had a large commercial DC system that worked very well. I expect this smaller system will work well too.
