Hello everybody,
I'm a new guy here to this site. Let m start off by saying that this is a great site. It is finally nice to go to a forum site and not feel as though people have giant egos.
Now on to the question at hand.
I have been thinking on this dust collection (more like managing) problem that I have and a resolution to this problem. This has all happened to us and maybe this can resolve the problem. I'm looking for others input to this. Like many others I pefer to hook up my shop vac when I'm using my power sanders and just when I get to the meat and potatos of the work the filter clogs up with the fine dust.
What I am proposing is the use of a bucket utilizing sealed lid with water in the bottom of it where the hose from the tool goes down into the water meanwhile the vacuum hose goes into the top of the bucket finishing the circle of suction. Pretty much making this just like a huge water bong. If a bong can filter out particles in smoke, I think to myself "I can use this concept" and use it in my workshop.
Has anyone ever tried this? If so, does it work? I would rather not waste my time or money on a project like this especially if anyone else has tried and failed. Also just to clear things up I do not use nor condone the use of bongs for any puroposes. Then again if it works in dust collection I might change my mind. :icon_thum
