Razaire 530 Dust Collector – Eggshell & Egg Carving Dust Control

Keep your carving and egging workspace cleaner and safer with the Razaire 530 Dust Collector and accessories. This compact, portable unit is one of the quietest and most powerful small dust collectors available, making it ideal for egg carving, eggshell dust control, and other fine-detail work.

Because the Razaire 530 is a modular dust collection system, you can customize it to suit your setup—from collecting dust at the source (rotary carving tools, micro-motors, etc.) to improving overall shop air filtration. It’s also popular with pyrography (wood burning) artists and small home workshops.

Why Egg Artists Love the Razaire 530

The Razaire 530 works wonderfully to pull eggshell dust out of your workspace, helping you protect your lungs and keep your area cleaner while you carve, drill, or sand eggs.

Use the standard green filter that comes with the machine for general dust
Add a high-efficiency or charcoal filter with the 2" filter frame for finer dust and odour control
Perfect for egg carving, eggshell relief carving, and detailed rotary tool work on eggs
Also suitable for pyrography and small wood-carving projects

For most egging and carving applications, you don’t need to work inside the acrylic hood—working about 6" in front of the intake usually provides excellent results.

How the Razaire 530 Dust Collector Works

Dusty air is drawn in through the front of the unit by a powerful impeller fan. The dust is trapped by the filter, which removes over 90% of 3–4 micron particles (about the size of baby powder). Cleaner air is then exhausted out the side.

Key features:

Variable speed fan for adjustable suction
Powerful airflow – up to 530 CFM free air, 400 CFM at 0.4" static pressure
Standard 2" pleated filter (approx. 30% efficient with 1 micron particle)
Flame-retardant ABS cabinet with built-in lamp holder (for a swing-arm lamp, not included)
8" acrylic hood that breaks down into 3 flat panels for portability
Easy filter cleaning – tap into a bag or garbage can; can be cleaned many times before replacement

This unit is designed to handle everything from fine eggshell dust to shavings from small power tools (with a 4" hose attached).
