Pull metal particles from grinding, cutting, and finishing workpieces into these tables to avoid breathing them. These tables also help keep combustible particles from creating sparks in your work area. Blowers pull dust and powder into the tables through holes in the surface, removing them from the air. Once inside, the particles are captured with filters or water, and clean air is released back into your space.

Vertical shields on the back and sides of these tables help protect you from flying debris. Some shields are removable, so you can make space for large workpieces. The removable trays at the bottom of these tables catch large chips and scraps, making them easy to clean up.

Dry-Capture Tables

These tables pull particles directly into fireproof filters. Made from aluminum, the filters won't spark from metal particles hitting them. Dry-capture tables are best for grinding and cutting jobs that create large particles. They are not designed for capturing fine powders, such as dust from sanding aluminum, titanium, and steel. For large-scale projects, use 1-hp tables. They generate stronger suction than ½-hp tables to capture a large amount of particles.

Wet-Capture Tables

Instead of an aluminum filter, these tables pull particles out of the air and into a water tank. The water traps particles, forming a sludge that settles to the bottom of the tank. Unlike dry-capture tables, wet-capture tables catch the fine dust and powder created by sanding metal. They exhaust clean air either down toward the floor or up and out of your work area. For especially dusty jobs, exhausting the air out of your building helps protect you from breathing in remaining traces of metal powder.

Fill the internal tank by attaching your water source to the inlet. Water level sensors inside the tank make sure you have the right amount of water for filtering. These sensors work with a solenoid on/off valve to automatically start the flow of water when the tank is low, and stop it when the tank is full. Mist traps keep moisture from escaping into the air.

Connect air-powered tools, such as sanders and grinders, directly to these tables via the air inlet. They have an interlocking pneumatic valve that keeps air from running to your tool until the table's blower is fully up to speed. This keeps you from starting up a tool before the table is ready to filter. Roll these tables where they're needed, and lock the casters in place while you're working.

Both the blower and table surface are made from aluminum, which won't spark if metal particles strike it. The motors in these tables meet NEC Class II, Divisions 1 and 2, Groups E, F, and G requirements, which means they will not explode from combustible dust.
