The dangerous particles are the small ones that can stay airborne for hours. I would definitely want it outside like yours with a vent. I'd like to see one running with a little sunlight shining through.

Gene is correct. We recommend a dust collection or evacuation system for airborne floaters.The dangerous particles are the small ones that can stay airborne for hours. I would definitely want it outside like yours with a vent. I'd like to see one running with a little sunlight shining through.

Grizzly makes pretty good stuff. I have the jet and it has hundreds of nonstop hours and moves a lot of air. Even still with certain woods I wear a respirator. For airborne floaters they make some excellent products used in the woodworking industry. The granite place here uses water to knock down the dust. Since the rugs are going to get washes anyway I'm surprised their isn't a misting system of some sort.Gene, we've planned on using a dust collector that would be mounted on the roof.
The one we're considering is the Grizzly Dust Collector from Harbor Freight.
We had ours made at a local fab shop. C-cross section frame, sheet steel top, one-inch pipe sections welded to the plate that we can slip sections of 3/4 inch pipe into. Including wheels they cost around $400 - but the last ones we had made were ten years ago.I'm looking for a HEAVY DUTY steel platform cart 8' long and 3-3.5 ft wide to carry rugs.
Haven't found anything of that size. I'm tired of repairing our old wooden cart.
We built ours out of wood, just 2x4s and plywood. the sides hinge as well as the doors to make it easier to sweep up the large particulate. The fine stuff is collected with a fairly large double-bag shop dust collector. Don't know the brand off the top of my head, but it doesn't make any more noise than the tumbler while running. Can't think of anything I would change.Would any of you who have built a closet done something different if you were to build another?
I tell everyone this, when you get it run a load of clean rugs in it first. I had a guy from Washington visit to check mine out I told him bring a clean rug down, told him to have his guys roll it out
first and dust thoroughly again just to make sure then bring it down. We got a full large dust pan of stuff out of that rug.
We're told our tumbler arrives this week.
I'm done.
Sent you an Email give me a call tomorrow Tom Thanks.Funding was made on June 30th and it was ready to ship before Rug Summit. Delayed until Joe could be home from traveling to accept it. Happy Tumbling!
I sent you one back earlier tonight.Sent you an Email give me a call tomorrow Tom Thanks.
I asked the shipping be delayed one week when I was told it was ready to ship Oct. 13th., not before the Rug Summit. I would have gladly accepted delivery when I paid in full June 30th. But why split hairs when it's over 3 months.
SWEET!
I thought you needed a bigger containment room then that. How did you get to be so form fitting in white nonetheless!
Those are some serious joists up there - are you storing sacks of cement on top or something?
