Why is my Laguna Dust Collector not collecting dust effectively?
- SScott IbarraAug 10, 2025
If your Laguna Dust Collector isn't adequately collecting dust or chips, resulting in poor performance, start by emptying the canister end cap if it's full. Clean the filter if it's dirty. Clear any restrictions in the duct line by cleaning the inlet splitter. If the suction route is too long or has too many sharp bends, move the machine closer to the suction point and rerun the ducts to eliminate sharp bends. Ensure you are using lumber with less than 20% moisture content to prevent clogging. Repair any leaks in the ductwork and close any unused ports. Increase velocity in the main suction line by opening one or two more blast gates to different branch lines. Finally, ensure you're using the correct size ducting and ports; resize and reinstall if necessary.
