G'morning all,
I'm setting up a small cutting area in my apartment and will be making test items using a dremel bandsaw, it is not a volume production line lol. Being that it's in an apartment I want to make it as particle free as possible also, taking into consideration that steel particles can be hot. the items I will be cutting is hypodermic thin wall tube and some .375.od with a .02 wall
What I am thinking of doing is using a small vacuum that attaches to the bottom of the saw as well as splitting the hose into two, part A sucks from the bottom and part B is then split into two and goes either side of the lockdown. (It ain't no Picasso) Also I would make the hoses 4' long to allow some cooling to the cut particles.
My question is, being that I am basically running 3 hoses out of this lil ol vacuum.
a) am I going to overheat the vacuum.
b) will I be able to cool the particles down enough so as not to cause a fire in the vacuum.
Bare with me as this is my first attempt at this type of project and, if you think it's crazy tell me
Thanks
gary
