The filters arrived a few days prior to the cyclone and I picked up a 55 gallon barrel to use as the dust bin. I did some prep work before installation. I did my own research and made my decision based upon that. Clear Vue did not contact me seeking product placement. As with 100% of the rest of my website, the views and opinions in this article are mine and I will never use or promote a product that I do not like. And because the CV1800 is wall mounted it should actually provide a little more open floor space than my last setup.ĭisclaimer: I was not asked to write this article and I was not paid to write this article. The dust collector I decided on was the Clear Vue CV1800 Cyclone Bundle. The motor is much larger at 5hp and therefore the rated CFM is double that of my last unit.

So I decided to upgrade to my “forever” dust collector that is capable of moving a lot more air and also upgrade the dust collection ducting in my shop to be more efficient in design as well as accommodate the much greater air flow. I realized that the weakest link in regards to dust in my shop was capturing it at the source. If you haven’t already be sure to check it out. He’s got a great wealth of information on his website. During my research I read through all of Bill Pentz documentation. Even beyond the relatively small allergy problems I was having wood dust can cause some major respiratory problems as well as cancer. That led me to doing a lot of research on wood dust and the dangers it poses to our health. And while I always used the dust collector for every cut I still had dust everywhere.

I already had a couple systems in place with a HEPA rated dust collector and a air cleaner cart. It’s also worth noting that I’m taking allergy immunization shots which should be lessening the reactions over time.ĭealing with the sinus and allergy issues over the past year or so has told me a lot about the air quality in my shop. On a positive note, since the surgery I’ve pushed the boundaries a little bit here and there just to see how I respond to the dust and so far it seems to affect me much less than before. That explains why cutting certain woods in the shop make the next 24 hours pretty miserable in regards to breathing through my nose. While it is safe to say that woodworking dust wasn’t catalyst that directly caused the need for surgery I found out during the process that I’m allergic to a lot of different things, including “oak”. I had a deviated septum and a bunch of sinus issues that have developed over the past several years. As you may or may not know, I had nose surgery right at the end of 2016.
