Hi,

Looking for a dust collection solution and possibly coolant pump
for my B&S 510 surface grinder setup.

I'm considering getting a small Torit cabinet-type unit, but also have seen
a few people recommend the Asian import combined dust collector and
coolant pump:

These are sold by SupraMachine (aka Acer) on ebay.

My question about these units:

- do they work well as purely a dry dust collector? Or only really
well when using coolant *and* dust collection together?

- how well would it capture dry dust from grinding? It doesn't seem
to have anywhere near the filter surface area that a Torit-type collector
would have.

Thanks!

My SG came with an integrated dust collector for dry grinding and a collection/filter/pump system for wet grinding. I hardly ever use the dry/dust system, because grinding wet works better for controlling size and heat, gives a better finish, and catches all of the grit/dust. So my advice would be to concentrate on a wet system that works well enough and is convenient enough that you just use it all the time, eliminating any need for the dry system.
