BOX FAN AIR FILTER For About $40! (How To Build a DIY Box Fan Air Purifier With HVAC Filters!)
Fine sawdust floats around in every workshop, potentially causing lung-related health problems. Most dust collectors and shop vacs fail to collect it all. This short video from The Honest Carpenter will show you a great way to turn an average box fan into a homemade air filter/purifier!
Large, single-stage dust collectors are great for picking up wood chips and sawdust--but they're actually prone to pumping fine dust back out into the air.
Also, they're not great for tools smaller than shop planers, joiners and cabinet saws.
Shop vacs, on the other hand, work really well with those tools, because they draw a lower volume of material at a much higher pressure.
However, it can be hard to bring the suction close to the source of the dust--the blade or cutter head. Therefore, a lot of dust both coarse and fine gets blasted out into the room.
This dust can cause lung problems both immediate and chronic!
The best, most affordable way to trap this fine dust is with a homemade box fan air purifier/filter.
You can make these units with just an average 20"X20" box fan, and a couple home HVAC air filters.
I used two 16X20 filters for my box fan air filter. I just built a 1/2" plywood frame with cradles and slides for the filters, and lower lip at the front for the box fan to sit on.
Then, I duct-taped the air filters to the plywood frame to create better draw and suction.
In just twenty minutes, a box fan air filter/purifier can complete multiple full cycles of a small workshop, drastically cutting down on the airborne particulates!
Thanks for watching!

Great video to highlight the dangers of fine wood dust particles! Just a couple pointers as I've done many experiments with my own box fan filter: 1. Charles Cox has pointed out to not overwork the fan. To add to that, clogged filters will actually force the box fan to pull air from the FRONT corners of the fan, just to blow it out the middle, effectively bypassing the filter media behind it. When this is the case, the box fan is actually counterproductive as all it's doing is blowing dust around the shop. 2. To avoid frequently clogged filters, use thicker filters than the standard 1", if possible. (I use 4" filters) Thicker pleated filters have more surface area of the filter medium and therefore can "collect more" dust. In practical terms, you won't need to change the filters out as often. 3. Try going to a local HVAC supply store (typically for professionals) and start a cash account with them to buy filters. I get mine for a fraction of the cost at big box stores.

Regarding (1) it also helps to shroud the front of the fan so the corners can't act as intakes - use duct tape and cardboard to leave just an 18" circle. You get more efficient airflow that way. Obviously as long as the filters aren't clogged.

It's not as powerful as I thought it would be, but it works very well. kzfaq.infoUgkxGjG43--gYqIoT4Xkur2PqCrtbKwTv2h6 There are three options to circulate air, and best of all a remote control for us lazy people. Installation was a breeze (no pun intended). It actually took longer to open the box then it did putting the side extenders on and sitting it in the window opening. It's a perfect alternative when you want airflow, but not the AC. Just might order another one for a different room. UPDATE: Bought another one like I said. They work great. Why not have two...

It does cut down on the air flow through the fan quite a bit, and the fan vibrates a lot more. The fans are cheap thankfully. I also bought 20x20 which is the perfect size for the typical box fan.

If you make it a cube, with one of the faces being the fan, one the 'floor' and the other 4 level 13+ filters, you'll get more dust, and won't overtax the fan. Also, add another slot on each face for a lower grade filter to get the larger dust coming in, saves replacing the higher grade filters frequently.

Always enjoy your videos 👍 I made mine from a box fan as well, actually round, but 20x20 filters fit perfectly. I made two simple frames to fit around the fan using scraps, 2 left over flip locks and 2 small hinges. I cut the wood for the frame to match the thickness of the cardboard around the filters edge so as to not lose any usable space on the filter. I placed the filter on the front side of the fan and turn it on whenever I am cutting or sanding. It works in conjunction with my dust collector and or shop vac. I also use a mask when doing this because even when all collection measures are in place it doesn't catch everything. I find it is very effective at catching the fine particles and the thin layer of dust you may find the next morning is gone as well.

It also works great for smoke. We had a lot of smoke last summer, so I got a 20x20 filter and just laid it on the suction side of the fan. I really helped lower the particulate in the air. Spend the money for the more effective filter and keep your house cool and smoke free. I think next summer I may experiment with the more expensive deep box furnace filters.

Great design. You'll want a filter in front of the fan. When the fan is stressed pulling air though back filters, it will actually draw air in from the sides on the front side of the fan. (Mathias Wandal has nice video on this.) After yours runs for a while you will start to see a buildup of dust on grill around the periphery of the fan blades. That is from dirty air getting sucked in the front and pushed back out.

I just use a 20” filter bungee strapped on the front of a box fan from Walmart. Works great and it is astonishing how much dust this will collect in just a few minutes. In my micro shop it probably circulates/filters most of the air in a couple minutes. I will set it on the bench right next to a sanding project and it almost eliminates dust it the shop. I did make a quick and easy cardboard shroud inside the grating that blocks the corners on the outlet side to force all air through the filter.

Another improvement to reduce the profile, reduce the friction, and increase the airflow/filtration, is to use a single deep filter, like a 5” deep MERV 13, attached flat to the back of the fan (with tape or housing). The deeper filter spreads the friction over a wider surface area because of the pleated folds inside, enabling the fan to push close to its max CFM while maintaining a compact shape.
