DUST EXTRACTION
Paul Hannaby:
The disadvantage with venting all the dust laden air outside is that during the colder months, that would also remove all the warm air and replace it with cold air - making it too cold to work, possibly causing condensation issues and adding to your heating bill.

Yes, good point. I’ve heard this mentioned before.

That's a good point! but I don't heat workshop in winter, and I could be the coolest turner in the country during the hot summer!!!

As Paul says above my system extracts 2050 c/m per hr cools the shop down instantly but even funnier holds the door shut so tight even shoulder barging won't open it . So now I wedge the door in case i need to abandon ship in a hurry !!!!! :) Good thing is it clears the chips from my spindle moulder cutting a 5 " kerf but not often in winter!!!

I see I can buy a motor controller with the fan unit and slow it right down to the speeds I need .
It seems dust extraction although totally necessary is an expensive part of woodturning!
