$4700 per table. Wouldn't it be easier (and cheaper) to just make them yourself? I'll probably end up doing that myself, if I ever build a belt grinder. Thanks for giving me the idea.

We have things like UL listing to consider for our new building.

[@verdigrissirgidrev4152]

Of course. And the cost of getting a custom draft drable UL (or ETL, I heard they're cheaper) certified will probably below 1/3rd of what a single commercial table would cost. The same certificate would apply to all other identically built tables, without further cost. It's a perforated box connected to a cyclone separator and a properly dimensioned radial blower / shop vac. Hobbyist level tech.
