Why do I need BigFoot Beta
The BigFoot Beta system replaces the default dust shoe supplied with the Z Head. It enables a high-airflow for dust extraction for SmartBench. It is for static installations where SmartBench is used for high throughput. The BigFoot system:
-
improves waste clearance by enabling a higher air-flow
-
allows collection of larger chips (e.g. strands) without blocking, and
-
can reduce the number of bag changes required between jobs (dust extractors which use larger bags)
Results of Bigfoot
BigFoot has been designed and tested around a standard workshop dust extractor with specification as below (link to an example extractor):
-
1,530 m³/hr @ 100 mm diameter
-
Airflow 425L/s
Tests have proven the BigFoot system capability of collecting the following waste:
Ply
OSB
MDF
