Subject: dust collection

Regarding the problem of dust that was talked about a few days ago, a
number of people have talked about using water for suppression inside
or eventual collection outside. This doesn't seem like it will work
when its really cold (10, 20 or even 30 below) for weeks and even
months on end. Heating the shop 24/7 may work indoors but outside
disposal is still a problem (unless you have a complete recirculating
system). Also, if you have your own well water can be limiting.
Completely draining a system after each day's work is a hassle too.

Just out of curiosity I was looking at small-scale industrial type dust
filters (not that I need one just yet, only looking) and I came across
these from Kraemer. Not too big, not to small (1-5 hp) and not toooo
pricey (2-3K). My brother in law has a bag type for wood dust in his
shop and that definitely would not do for stone. These units seem
different. Or are these the same bag type ones some people have tried
and found not to work for stone?
