System Design, Decide Who Will Design | Grizzly G0508 instruction

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 dust collection system design.

If you have a large shop or must design a com- plicated system, then we recommend 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, non-Grizzly brand machines can be substituted with Grizzly machines for layout pur- poses. Note: 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 20, 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.An ideal design will feature the shortest pos- sible main line and secondary branch ducts. See Figures 21 & 22 for ideas of good duct layouts vs bad duct layouts.
