A small woodworking shop with a bag-style dust collector and sliding table saw

Dust collection advice built around real delivered CFM, not spec sheet guesses.

I test dust collectors on my own bench with an anemometer, a laser particle counter, a dB meter and a manometer, then I publish the raw numbers so you can decide for yourself. No sponsored units, no guessing at CFM from a marketing PDF.

What "measured" actually looks like
