Ever seen one of those commercial centrifugal dust collection systems? They use a genius design which incorporates a centrifugal dust separator for dust collection. The only problem is, it's likely out of financial reach for many small shops. What if you could build one yourself? Come along for the journey as we see if it's possible to construct one of these systems for your workshop.
Want to build your own without all the research and design? Grab the digital 3D prints (STL's) from here. https://github.com/pilsonguitars/centrifugalDustSeparator
