Centralised Dust Extraction

Dust extraction is a work-in-progress. At the moment we have a portable unit and the main dust collection system. The main dust collector comprises a fixed 150mm ducting around the shop, different set of blast gates and an Arduino controlled dust collector. The main controller for the system can be found in the middle of the shop.

• The main 150mm ducting is done
• Most of the blast gates have been assembled and glued (first stage).
• The dust collector has been connected to the main power and the controller has been installed in the middle of the shop. This allows members to use the dust collector.
• The CAT cabling is all done.
• The Belt/disc sander has been properly plumbed and connected to the dust collection system.

• build last-miles and connect the machines to the system.
• Finish assembling the blast gates.
• Move forward with the development of the blast gates.

Last-mile is the last bit of plumbing that's needed to connect a m
