Downdraft tables and booths are the ideal workstation for most grinding and deburring processes. No operator intervention or re-positioning is required for work performed close to the table’s ventilated surface.

Sparks created from grinding steel parts need to be extinguished before reaching a filter cartridge. Our innovative 5-stage spark arrestance system uses a series of baffles and metal mesh prefilters to safely extinguish sparks, avoiding a potential filter fire. To help contain grinding and deburring dust over the table surface, we recommend an optional Side and Back Wall enclosure.
“Diversitech was very helpful in providing useful information to solve our particular Dust Collection problem.
Our users have all had good things to say about the product and working with Ron Morris was a pleasure.
He provided all the support we needed in getting our system up and running.
I would recommend Diversitech to anyone that needed a similar product.
It is very well made and easy to use and maintain.”
« As a repeat customer, and owner of both wet and dry downdraft tables, we cannot say enough about the products, and the people at Diversitech…….both are a pleasure to work with! »
« The tables are now fully functioning! The students were on them yesterday, and the instructors were so impressed. One instructor even said that he’s “old school” and wasn’t sure about the downdrafts, but he was very impressed. »
« We love the downdraft table and are using it full time. We will probably be looking for another one in 6 months to a year as well. Thanks for a nice product. »
