Downdraft table for carbon fiber dust
Is there some type of downdraft table or filter for one that is ok for CF?
I’m in a warehouse and would prefer to find a table with suction to vent it to water rather than a filter but I can’t seem to find something like that.
In terms of quantity, it is small. 10-30 holes only a week in carbon plating but also quite a bit more fiberglass so I’d like a table and suction, etc.
Any recommendation and thanks.

Re: Downdraft table for carbon fiber dust
You may need to make one and it isn't too difficult.You are basically in need of a hopper with a series of slats on top to hold the pieces being worked on.Pretty much any portable extractor that would ordinarily be attached to a woodworking machine will do some good.More flow is good and the finer the filter is,the more dust gets retained and you would have to speak to the experts about details of filtration.Just as you would with a water screen.

Hi Ryan - Something like a water backed paint booth would work. You will need to make this yourself. You would have a water curtain at the rear of the machine and cross flow air extraction to the curtain.
But if you are not making much dust then a std filter system is easiest and will work. You could try a cyclone filter from a household cleaner if you are trying to get away from a filter... MDF dust is lighter then CF or GF so a cyclone would remove this quite well I expect as it will remove MDF dust... Peter

Re: Downdraft table for carbon fiber dust
Hi Ryan - all the facilities that I have worked in that cut FG or CF use std dust collectors. One issue with CF dust is that it can get into electronics and play havoc so are you concerned about health issues, electronics or environmental disposal? A good std dust collector and responsible disposal is about all you need. But do the best you can. CF tends to float around a bit before it settles but MDF is worse. Peter

Yeah... Just buy one. CF dust is nasty. It gets in everything and will short out electronics. HEPA should be just fine.
