The latest Minnich dust collection system has been designed to meets the requirements for dowel pin drills. The requirements can be found in Table 1 of the new Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) respirable crystalline silica standard, when used with an appropriate filter. A key feature is that the canister-style dust collector can also be retrofitted to any Minnich on-grade, on-slab, machine-mounted or utility drill model. And the firm says that the unit can also be adapted to fit a range of equipment from other manufacturers.
