Abstract
This invention pertains to equipment used in the custom fitting of golf clubs and in particular to a dustfree workbench for use by a golfsmith for customizing golf clubs having shafts manufactured from graphite, titanium or beryllium. The workbench includes a filtration system particularly designed for removal of the extremely fine particles generated in the cutting of golf club shafts, and characterized by the use of a series of high efficiency filters that the dust-laden air is passed through before being returned to the room. Grates placed within the upper surface of the workbench prevent larger items from passing therethrough and include dampeners for purposes of flow regulation. The filter assembly comprises a plurality of filter elements with various micron rating filters, referred to as coarse and fine, and assembled in order of decreasing porosity and placed in series and upstream of the blower.
