This is the downdraft table I'm building.... just haven't finished up the collector pan under the grates. I paid $5 for each grate at Boeing surplus... they weight 120 pounds EACH -- 1 foot X 3 foot.... The "heavies" should fall to the bottom of the pan - while the dust should be contained and or sucked up in the 6" ducting. I'm making 2 removable sides (the third "side" is the bead blaster)... to 'direct' the grinding dust back down into the grated area.
I don't expect to contain 100%.... But if I can keep a majority of the filth from just floating all over the shop I'll be happy.
