Why Laguna Dust Collector does not adequately collect dust or chips; poor performance?
- DDalton GarciaAug 12, 2025
Poor performance of your Laguna Dust Collector can stem from several causes. Start by emptying the canister end cap and cleaning the filter. Check for any obstructions in the duct line and clean the inlet splitter if needed. If the suction route is too long or has too many sharp bends, move the machine closer to the suction point and adjust the ducts to eliminate sharp bends. Ensure you're using lumber with less than 20% moisture content to prevent clogging. Repair any leaks in the duct work and close unused ports. To increase velocity in the main suction line, try opening one or two more blast gates to different branch lines. Finally, ensure that correctly sized ducting and ports are used; resize and reinstall if necessary.
