For mobility, the G1032 is mounted on casters and can be moved within close proximity to one or two woodworking machines, depending on the model. You will need a flexible duct to connect each machine with a collection hood. If you wish to specifically direct air flow while the dust collec- tor is attached to more than one machine, you will need to add a blast gate for each machine.
When moving the dust collector around the shop, you must consider clearances between obstacles and accessibility to convenient electrical outlets. A
The G1032 can be set up as a stationary unit with the addition of a fixed duct system to service more than one machine at a time. The primary advantage of a stationary system is it eliminates the process of disconnecting and moving the dust collector, hoses and cords, and eliminates hoses and cords laying on the floor. Another advantage of a stationary system is it allows the dust collec- tor to be located away from the work area, reduc- ing noise and freeing up valuable workshop space. Grizzly offers a complete line of dust col- lection accessories for setting up a stationary system. Additionally, Grizzly offers a complete guide book for setting up stationary dust collec- tion systems. Please refer to our current catalog for pricing and ordering information.
A stationary system configuration usually has a main duct with smaller ducts branching to each machine. The main duct should be located out of the way of normal operations and be accessible for the branch ducts. Branch ducts are perma- nently attached to each machine by way of col- lection hoods. Air flow is controlled by blast gates located in the branch ducts and near each machine. Remote switches, available from elec- trical supply stores, can be added to make the system even more convenient.
To design a stationary system, you must consid- er many interrelated factors such as, shop layout, woodworking machine capacities, and general duct efficiency. Design considerations for a sta- tionary dust collection system are beyond the scope of this manual. As stated above, Dust Collection Basics, offered by Grizzly, is an excel- lent resource for dust collection questions.
