Introduction

Air filtration is one thing that a lot of woodworkers put off for a long time. Yet the moment you install an air filtration system, you quickly realize what a huge difference it makes. Dust settles everywhere, not just near the area where you work — it drifts across the entire shop and settles on tools, workbenches, and finished projects.

The JET AFS-1000B air filtration system solves this. The air becomes smooth, clear, and clean — both before you’re working, and after. No more coughing and sneezing from dust exposure. Even when you come in the next day, everything is just the way you left it.

Installation

Unlike other air filtration systems, the JET AFS-1000B is fairly lightweight. You can pick it up with one hand without much effort. Hold it against the wall or ceiling with one hand while mounting it with the other. The instructions in the manual are clear, and mounting the device shouldn’t take more than a few minutes.

The JET AFS-1000B can be mounted on a wall or on the ceiling. Most users choose to ceiling-mount it near the area where they’re doing their work for optimal air circulation.

Ease of Use

Using the JET air filter system couldn’t be any easier. It works via remote control. You can control both the speed and the timer all via remote. That means you can simply turn on the filter as you enter your shop with the push of a button. When you leave your shop, you can just set it on the low setting to clean the air for 4 hours and leave.

Best of all, the timer feature allows you to set it and forget it. With other filters, you have to remember to turn it off when you’re done. With the JET air filtration system, you just need to set the timer, and it’ll turn off automatically once it’s done.

Noise Levels

The unit does make some noise when you have it turned on high. However, since you’ll only turn it on high when you’re woodworking, the noise level generated by the air filter will be completely drowned out by your other tools.

On the other hand, the low and medium settings are very quiet. The low setting especially is quiet as a whisper. You could leave it on at night, and none of your neighbors will hear a peep.

Cleanup & Maintenance

Changing your filters is quite easy. There are no screws or complex contraptions to open. You just unclip four flips, slide out the old filter, and slide in the new one. The whole process takes about one minute.

Pro Tip: For complete dust control, pair this air filter with a powerful dust collector.
