sandblaster dust

[gregs]

I was wondering how well you think the baffle will work with fine sand dust. I am needing something to help seperate the dust before it goes into the shop vac. Basically I am using a small blast cabinet and the shop vac draws off the dust so you can see, but it plugs up the filter quickly. I have read of a few people using the 5 gal dusty deputy and wondered if the baffle design would work as well. Thanks

I've not used the dust deputy for sand, but I have used it on ashes from my fireplace chimney clean-out and it worked very well for the ashes and they are much finer than sand would be.   My thien baffle seems to work as well as my dust deputy for sawdust, so I'm guessing it would work quite well for sand.
