Workshop

• Zones

  Stock prep → machining → assembly → finishing — linear flow; machines by windows, assembly center.

• Dust extraction

  1000+ m³/h extraction for the saw; a cyclone before the vac — the filter lives longer.

• Electrics

  A dedicated 16A line for machines, 3-phase for planer/compressor, outlets under shelving.

• Area

  Minimum: 15m² garage = saw + bench + assembly; 25m² — full cycle with jointer and drying.

Dust isn't a 'nuisance' — it's an occupational hazard: MDF dust is carcinogenic. A $30 cyclone attachment before a regular vac removes 90% of the problem.
