System Design
Step 1. Decide Who Will Design
For most
If you have a large shop or must design a com- plicated system, then we recommend that you perform additional research beyond this manual, or seek help from an expert.
Step 2. Sketch Your Shop Layout
Planning is the most important step when design- ing a successful dust collection system.
Before you begin to draw your necessary layout sketch, we recommend that 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,
Your sketch only needs the basic details of the shop layout, similar to Figure 27, 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 your machines will connect to the dust collector. Consider these gen- eral guidelines for planning 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 28 & 29 for ideas of good duct layouts vs bad duct layouts.
