** I meant this page almost as a general precautions page. The things you wrote are great and should be the instructions for the individual tools I think - for some I don't have pages yet. But my concern was more that we fuss to collect dust at the source but then make messes disposing of the dust. Are there best practices? For example, the bag in the wide belt sander extractor is so large to be just about unmanageable. And even for the others, beating out a vacuum filter on the inside of the garbage can releases a lot of dust. So, what is our deal? This might be related to the use of compressed air to clean things discussion. | ** I meant this page almost as a general precautions page.

DustFX dust collectors must be emptied when the dust is halfway up the viewing window. This equals approximately one standard garbage bag worth of dust. Overfilling the dust collectors is inconsiderate towards other members and can cause a fire. | DustFX dust collectors must be emptied when the dust is halfway up the viewing window.
