Shop Dust Control

[Farrell]

I've read about that, and I'll keep an eye open in that regard, but my 
understanding is that static electricity buildup is a problem only in dry 
climates. My shop stays right around 50% RH year-round and we here in Tampa, 
Florida have maybe 3 days per year where the RH outside is lower than that. 
I think I'll be okay in that area.

Another thing about a system that is properly sized - motor, impeller, 
piping and other sources or resistance - is that you should not have any 
dust buildup in the piping anyway. And you bet, I'll have to check that once 
in a while also to see if that is a reality!
