System Design

Step 1. Decide Who Will Design

For most small-to-medium sized shops, you can design and build the dust collection system your- self without hiring engineers or consultants. We have included some basic information here to get you started on a simple design.

If you have a large shop or end up designing a complicated system, then we recommend addi- tional research beyond this manual, and that you seek the help of an expert.

Step 2. Sketch Your Shop Layout

When designing a successful dust collection system, planning is the most important step. In this step, you must sketch a basic layout of your shop.

Before you get out your pencil and paper, we rec- ommend you visit our FREE Workshop Planner available on our website at www.grizzly.com.

Our Workshop Planner will allow you to quickly and easily draw and print a basic shop layout. Don't worry, non-Grizzly brand machines can be substituted with Grizzly machines for layout pur- poses. After you're finished, make sure to save your layout for later modification.

Your sketch only needs the basic details of the shop layout, similar to Figure 13, including all your current/planned machines and your planned placement of the dust collector.

Step 3. Sketch a Basic Duct Layout

For the next step, sketch how you will connect your machines to the dust collector. Consider these general guidelines for an efficient system:

1.Machines that produce the most sawdust should be placed nearest to the dust collector (i.e. planers and sanders).

2.Ideally, you should design the duct system to have the shortest possible main line and secondary branch ducts. See Figures 14 & 15 for ideas of good duct layouts vs. bad duct layouts.
