Proposal Type:
Medium
Proposer:
Joe Christian
Description:
Having used the woodshop for a couple of days in a row, i’ve found my lungs struggling a bit, even just using the saws and router. I’d therefore propose buying another of the air filter units we have in the main room. The filters are designed for professional use for rooms up to 300m3, which is about the size of our wood room.
I would also propose buying a charcoal air filter to be installed onto the air filter in the main room to help it filter out when people have used things that shouldn’t really be used in our space, e.g. solvents.
Proposed Purchase:
Axminster Professional Air Filter - Axminster - £359.98
Axminster carbon and charcoal filter - Axminster - £35.48
Proposed Installation:
The woodroom air filter will be installed from the ceiling in the woodroom during the next hack the space day. It will be hung from the ceiling using wires and sturdy fixings. I’ve allowed a budget of £30 for installation materials
Budget:
£355.91 (we have 10% off through Menshed) + £30 for installation
Total = £385.91
The air filters are reusable and just need cleaning every few months, but are £36 to replace if needed.
Funding type:
Fully funded by Hackspace
Health & Safety
This air filter will aid H&S but will not surfice as a replacement to proper dust extraction on all machines in the woodroom.
