Why is my Shop fox Dust Collector not collecting dust adequately?
- JJennifer MurphyAug 3, 2025
If your Shop fox Dust Collector isn't collecting dust or chips effectively, start by emptying the dust collection bags, as they may be full. Next, check for any obstructions at the inlet grate and remove any debris. Insufficient performance may also occur if the dust collector is too far from the suction point or if the ducting has too many sharp bends; try relocating the collector and reworking the ducting. Ensure the lumber being processed has less than 20% moisture content, as wet lumber can cause flow issues. Finally, inspect the ducting for leaks and rework it to eliminate them. For more solutions, refer to the Dust Collection Basics handbook (ISBN 0-9635821-2-7).
