Let's get two facts straight; dust control is the biggest battle we fight in the woodshop and your lungs are NOT dust filters. It doesn't matter if your shop is a one-car garage or a 10,000 square foot professional cabinet shop, you need good dust protection every time you turn on a machine. Fortunately, Rikon has a dust weapon that really sucks - to help you win the battle over dust.
Rikon Air Filtration System
The 62-450 is designed for smaller workshops that measure up to 20’x20’x8’, for cleaning and circulating air up to 7 Times Per Hour. Choose between 3 speeds – 250, 350, or 450 CFM depending on the amount of filtration needed. 3 timer settings also let you filter shop air for 1, 2 or 4-hour segments before it automatically shuts off. The 1/4HP motor is very quiet and the system can be operated directly or with its remote control. 2-filters change easily without tools.
Once you've taken advantage of the included hanging hardware and your filter is out of the way (and most likely out of reach) Rikon's remote control will come in handy. You'll be using the remote to easily turn the filter on and off and adjust the speed setting as needed. The 62-450 Air Filtration System also has a timer that allows you to set the system to run for 1,2, or 4 hours and then shuts off automatically. This is a great feature that lets the system clean the air in your shop while you're not there and turn itself off when it's done, saving electricity.
The Rikon Air Filtration System captures particles as small as 1 micron with its dual filters and changing those filters is a snap. Simply flip the 2 toggle clips and swap out the dirty filter for a new one. The inner filter is washable, saving you money when it comes time to change it out. And like all of Rikon's power tools, this air filtration system is covered by their awesome 5-year limited warranty!
So why bother investing in a Rikon Clean Air System? Three reasons; it's good for your shop floor, good for your lungs and easy on your ears. And with Rikon's industry-best 5-year limited warranty, you can't beat the value. Ready to breathe easy?
