Thread: Metal dust extraction for linisher

I have been thinking about putting a dust extraction on my belt grinder as well.
Have not got to that yet but some day!

If you are worried about fires, just put a bucket of water under where the sparks come flying out. It catches most of the debris unless it's a new 36grit zirc belt. That throws trash everywhere!

I keep a board on mine when not in use as the dog loves drinking out of everything that is not her water bowl!

I have set my buffing mops on fire several times with an angle grinder. As other have said buffing mops shouldn't be left exposed in a metal shop anyway as they pick up grit etc which then scratches the polished surface.

The bucket idea is a good one although my dogs would also drink out of it. I also have two fire extinguishers in my shed, a 1kg and a 2.5kg.
