Woodworking Accessory Gets in the Top 20 at IWF's 2010 Challengers Award® Competition

Judges at this years IWF (International Woodworking Fair) in Atlanta, GA. have previewed hundreds of entries for this years Challengers Award® Competition and have determined the top twenty-two new products that have risen above the competition. Read more . . .

One of those top new products is the Tornado Filter Cleaner, which is available at EagleAmerica.com. This is one of those woodworking accessories your shop shouldn't be without! Woodworking tools work best when they are clean and shop vac filters are no exception.

Dust produced by wood cutting tools such as tablesaw blades, shaper cutters and routers bits can be fine and once packed into a pleated filter, difficult to remove. Then you have to beat the filter which only produces more dust.

This innovative product solves this issues by using centrifugal force to spin the dust out of the pleats, all while inside of an enclosed bucket which makes for less mess and easy disposal.

Wednesday, July 21, 2010 by Rick Glackin:: This reminds me of the old "chop-o-matic" sold on the 'boardwalk' for decades. "It chops, it grates, it..." The only problem is it takes more time to clean it than to do the work without it. How many more tools do you think we should buy to maintain other tools that are used to maintain other tools? At some point, it becomes down right ludicrous. Just take your filter outside and blow it off with compressed air. That way you don't have to clean the tool that you use to clean the filter that is used to clean everything else :-)
