Got an e-mail from Wood showing the Axiom STRATUS A unit from Axiom of CNC making background. Takes air cleaners, the type that used to hang over your head in a new direction. Takes the dust down, to the ground to be captured. 2 models, the second with a charcoal filter at 699, the other without the charcoal is 499.
I don't see number on sq/ft, which usually is huge for such devices. I am seeing it as a personal unit, you bring along as you move through the shop. Looks to be light enough to do that, the question would be do you have enough outlets to power it off it's 16' cord?
If it truly works, this is a must have for guys like me, who have already been diagnosed with COPD, or have any of a number of breathing challenges. It would be special to come out of the respirator when doing dusty chores. It's doable, but a huge PIA, worse when it's hot.
Video for it here.
FWIW I have 2 of the Griz made middle of the line air cleaners, which I use down low. Generally just on top of the bench, or some table near where I am generating dust. I can say without doubt, moving the dust DOWN, out of your face instead of up, and right past it works much better. So the concept really is headed in the right direction.
If the dust never gets higher than your chest level, it won't go into your mouth/lungs. This was provided to me by my Respiratory Doctor, and I took the old ones down, sold them, and bought the newer never hung ones I currently have. It's kinda cool to see dust from sanding, trickle down to the cleaner, but it does have to be nearby to do this. So I have 2, and I do move them to be where I am creating dust. Plus I have 2 ceiling fans, that drive it down. For myself I am not sure if this new device would offer more than I currently have, but it is pretty much the same concept.
So it's good to see someone liked the concept enough to build on it.
Just saw it, so throwing it into the pool to see if it swims. Discuss.
