Step 1. Decide Who Will Design
For most small-to-medium sized shops, you can
design and build the dust collection system your-
self without hiring engineers or consultants. We
have included some basic information here to get
you started on a dust collection system design.
If you have a large shop or must design a com-
plicated system, then we recommend additional
research beyond this manual, or seek help from
an expert.
Step 2. Sketch Your Shop Layout
Planning is the most important step when design-
ing a successful dust collection system.
Before you begin to draw your necessary layout
sketch, we recommend that you visit our FREE
Workshop Planner available on our website at
www.grizzly.com
.
Our Workshop Planner will allow you to quickly
and easily draw and print a basic shop layout.
Don't worry, non-Grizzly brand machines can be
substituted with Grizzly machines for layout pur-
poses.
Note:
After you're finished, make sure to
save your layout for later modification.
Your sketch only needs the basic details of the
shop layout, similar to
Figure 20
, including all
your current/planned machines and your planned
placement of the dust collector.

Step 3. Sketch a Basic Duct Layout
For the next step, sketch how your machines will
connect to the dust collector. Consider these gen-
eral guidelines for planning an efficient system:
1.
Machines that produce the most sawdust
should be placed nearest to the dust collector
(i.e. planers and sanders).
2.
An ideal design will feature the shortest pos-
sible main line and secondary branch ducts.

layouts vs bad duct layouts.
