For most small-to-medium sized shops, you can
design and build the dust collection system your-
self without hiring engineers or consultants. We
have included some basic information here to get
you started on a basic design.
if you have a large shop or plan to design a com-
plicated system, we recommend doing additional
research beyond this manual or seeking the help
of an expert.

sketch your shop layout
When designing a successful dust collection sys-
tem, planning is the most important step. in this
step, sketch a basic layout of your shop, including
space requirements of different machines.
Before you get out your pencil and paper, we rec-
ommend you visit our Free Workshop Planner
available on our website at
www.grizzly.com.
our Workshop Planner will allow you to quickly
and easily design and print a basic shop layout.
don't worry, non-grizzly brand machines can be
substituted with grizzly machines for layout pur-
poses.
note: After you're finished, make sure to
save your layout for later modification.
your sketch only needs the basic details of the
shop layout, similar to the
figure below, includ-
ing all your current/planned machines and your
planned placement of the dust collector.

sketch a basic duct layout
For the next step, sketch how you will connect
your machines to the dust collector. Consider
these general guidelines for an efficient system:
1. Machines that produce the most saw dust
should be placed nearest to the dust collector
(i.e. planers and sanders).
2. ideally, you should design the duct system
to have the shortest possible main line and
secondary branch ducts. see the
figures
below for ideas of efficient versus inefficient
duct layouts.
