Sawdust Sweeper

[Woodey]

Does anyone use any type of machine to sweep the sawdust off there boards after milling?

I shake most of the sawdust off or use a brush. That take a lot of time. I'm looking for a faster method.
Thanks

I was looking on Cook's Saw site. It looks like they offer a sweeping attachment on their mills. There's a picture of one on the site. Check it page 9 of their current catalog, it may offer you some ideas.

hey woodey I was just thinking of some kind of a sweeper this weekend .maybe if you could mount a round stiff brush at an angle so it would rotate on it's on without power .then again maybe you would need to spin it with some power source to do a better job.go ahead ,build 2 and send me one.

i use a painter's blade thing.  it's 11.5 in long and i just scrape each side.  gets most of the sawdust off.  also handy for getting rough width of boards.

     I use a 10" drywall knife.  But I've had customers use a flat blade shovel if the board is on or near the ground.

12" drywall knife is the tool over here. Got each of my girls one!
