My shop is in the basement and even though I have a dust collecting system for the larger tools, there is still a lot of air borne dust. Of course the scroll saw is a major contributer.
I want to build a ceiling mounted air scrubber that I can turn on and off with the shop lights. I thought about using an old furnace blower. I think the blower should move a lot of air. Has anyone tried this and have any advice?
I am also wondering what kind of filters I should use. I'm not sure if regular furnace filters would trap the smaller particles and I think a HEPA filter would trap too much and need cleaning constantly.
I thought about using both, the furnace filters externally and a HEPA filter internally, but I am also concerned about restricting the airflow too much and burning out the motor.
Any advice would be appreciated.
