Grizzly G1029 - Manual (Page 16)

G1028/G1029 Dust Collector -15-
Mobile
For mobility, the G1028/G1029 is mounted on
casters and can be moved within close proximity
to one or two woodworking machines, depending
on the model. You will need a flexible duct to con-
nect each machine with a collection hood. If you
wish to specifically direct air flow while the dust
collector is attached to more than one machine,
you will need to add a blast gate for each
machine.
When moving the dust collector around the shop,
you must consider clearances between obstacles
and accessibility to convenient electrical outlets.
A heavy-duty extension cord may be used if an
outlet is not convenient.
The G1028/G1029 can be set up as a stationary
unit with the addition of a fixed duct system to
service more than one machine at a time. The pri-
mary advantage of a stationary system is it elimi-
nates the process of disconnecting and moving
the dust collector, hoses and cords, and elimi-
nates hoses and cords laying on the floor.
Another advantage of a stationary system is it
allows the dust collector to be located away from
the work area, reducing noise and freeing up
valuable workshop space. Grizzly offers a com-
plete line of dust collection accessories for setting
up a stationary system. Additionally, Grizzly
offers a complete guide book for setting up sta-
tionary dust collection systems. Please refer to
our current catalog for pricing and ordering infor-
mation.
A stationary system configuration usually has a
main duct with smaller ducts branching to each
machine. The main duct should be located out of
the way of normal operations and be accessible
for the branch ducts. Branch ducts are perma-
nently attached to each machine by way of col-
lection hoods. Air flow is controlled by blast gates
located in the branch ducts and near each
machine. Remote switches, available from elec-
trical supply stores, can be added to make the
system even more convenient.
To design a stationary system, you must consid-
er many interrelated factors such as, shop layout,
woodworking machine capacities, and general
duct efficiency. Design considerations for a sta-
tionary dust collection system are beyond the
scope of this manual. As stated above, Dust
Collection Basics, offered by Grizzly, is an excel-
lent resource for dust collection questions.
