It depends on whether your dust collector is designed for that use. Our wood dust collectors are specifically engineered and tested for collecting wood dust and chips only. They are not tested or rated for other materials, such as metal dust.

Using them outside their intended purpose can cause premature wear to components like the filter, impeller, and internal housing, which may lead to reduced performance or failure. For safety and longevity, we recommend using a collector designed specifically for the material in question.
