Description
OSHA silica and metal dust compliance requires active point-of-origin capture during intense hand grinding and sanding operations. The Baileigh DDTM-5922 Downdraft Table pulls heavy particulate down through its perforated table deck before dust reaches operator breathing zones. It lacks spark-arresting water baths, requiring dry metal collection methods that demand regular metal dust cleanout.
Heavy 12-gauge welded carbon structural plate steel constructs the table frame and side draft shields. A TEFC induction motor generates 0.5 HP, drawing 6.0 full-load amps on standard 110V 60Hz single-phase wall current at 1,750 RPM. Net bare machine weight hits 380 lbs. The heavy work surface spans 59 inches wide by 22 inches deep, standing at a 34-inch working table height.
Key Features of Baileigh DDTM-5922
Metal fabricators buy Baileigh DDTM-5922 tables to clean up grinding bays and keep weld finishing dust out of shop air. Equipment pricing delivers a self-contained suction table without running external rooftop extraction blowers.
- Heavy 59-inch by 22-inch slotted work surfaces support up to 660 lbs of steel weldments and parts.
- Dual multi-blade internal impellers generate 1,790 CFM of downward suction straight through the table slots.
- Rubber-coated table top surface strips protect polished stainless and soft aluminum parts from scuffs.
- Hinged sheet metal side shields contain grinding sparks and fold flat for over-length steel workpieces.
- Two-stage fire-retardant filter packs capture fine grinding dust before air returns to the shop.
- Removable lower steel slide-out catch pans collect coarse grit and metal swarf for quick cleanouts.
- Built-in table height adjustments level the heavy steel chassis on uneven shop concrete slabs.
Downward Face Velocity Bench Metrics
Static air bench tests across the slotted deck measure 1,790 CFM at 1.9 inches of water-gauge internal resistance. Face velocity averages 185 feet per minute across the center table slats, pulling abrasive grit downward from twelve inches above the table. The continuous-duty motor draws 5.8 running amps without thermal trip during four-hour grinding shifts. Sound pressure tests measure 70 dB at operator waist level, running quiet. Internal baffle deflectors stop heavy sparks from reaching the secondary paper filter elements.
Grinding Bay Ergonomics Maintenance
Leaning over this 34-inch high steel work deck feels comfortable during long flap-disc grinding shifts. The fold-down side flaps drop fast when you position long structural tubing. Do not buy this downdraft table for plasma torch cutting tables, wet stone polishing, or volatile spray painting.
- Pull out and empty the lower steel grit collection drawer at the end of each shift.
- Blow loose dust off the primary spark arrestor screens using clean shop air once per week.
- Inspect the perimeter rubber deck pads for grind heat wear every three months.
Factory Warranty Manifest Inclusions
Baileigh covers this industrial downdraft table with a 1-Year limited parts warranty. The wood skid freight shipment delivers the assembled 380 lb steel table, internal blower motor, primary spark filter, secondary fine filter cartridges, fold-down side wings, and complete field documentation.
