Like all the other Taunton Press woodworking books this one really covers one subject completely. It isn't just about dust collectors (the big ones with the large bags) but covers many methods for reducing dust production as well as collecting and eliminating airborne dust. A must have book for any woodworking enthusiast who needs keep the dust out of their house and their lungs!

Like most of his books it is a complete coverage of the subject. The book has excellent suggestions on setting up a dust collection system. It has saved me money with good ideas.

This is a well written book, loaded with information. Parts of it read like a tutorial on dust collection, parts discuss tips and options for collection while parts of the book offer suggestion for design. When considering the total cost of a dust collection system, this book is a cheap up-front investment.

Woodshop Dust Control is an OK reference.It is dated as far as information on design is concerned.As the only was to deal with dust, in My opinion is start at the source, collector selection and ductwork design should have had more of an emphasis.Specific designs for collection at tools without existing dust collection ports or as is more often the case poorly designed ports would have been helpfull.
If construction of an central collector is in your future talk to Oneida and Air Handeling Systems. If you've never seen a shop vac before this book is a good starting point.

This book has helped me understand some of the things I've been doing wrong or overlooking for some time now. Some really good ideas for making your own workshop dust control gear. This book is worth reading.
