DustCollection S ystem,
DustCollector- A machine usedto collect f inewood
dustandchips,
DustCollectionSystem- Adustcollector c onnected
to multiple woodworking machines u tilizing various
typesof hose/pipe a ndfittings,
C.F.M. = CubicFeet/Minute - A measurement of the
amount o f airvolume thatcanmovethrough a dust
collector i n oneminute,
StaticPressure - A measurement of theamount o f the
resistance t o airflow in a dustcollection system,

as faras possible, R unning a smaller d iameter h ose
wiiigreatly reduce theC,F,M, at thetool,yielding
