Dust collectors

[Michael Spreeman]

Dale,
 
I did a bunch of research when setting up my shop and located the most efficient cfm unit for the least money.  I used 3" pvc plumbing pipe with blast gates which also saved a bundle and works like a dream.  I did splurge for the flex hoses with the copper spiral in them because it's a good idea to ground the system, unless you enjoy getting knocked over with static shocks.  I don't have the information here at home, but I'll send it to you off list when I get a chance.   Farrell is wooing the rues in Australia.

  Hi Guys
  Hey all great suggestions.  Thanks one & all.  Where's Farrell?
    To avoid the cost of an expensive unit would it not be fairly effective to just put the thing outside & avoid the filter thing altogether? WIth adequate cfm would this make sense. I work with the doors open a lot & nice north south breeze thru the shop. Hey It's Calif.
    
  I'd love to buy a cyclone but it'll have to wait till later.  For 350 bucks it appears Grizzly & I can solve my immediate problems. 
  Comments kids?

Dale,
    We bought a Delta 4800 cfm dust collector with a 5 hp motor (around $1,600.00). It is designed to run 4 machines at once with 1200 cfm each. Now we can run the cnc machine, a buffer, sander and whatever else at the same time without a drop in vacuum. It is one of the best purchases we made.   Good luck,   Mike

 Saw dust princes
  The little 3/4 horse jet is refusing to provide enough suction p[power to clear the sawdust from the new monster 20" Grizzly planer. You guys with larger machines out there....What are you using?  I will eventually hook mine up to the Laguna  16 " & the   8 "& Jointer as well. I see that Grizzly has a 2 horse with large bags & 2.5 micron filter.
  Sounds like  deal for $275.00
 What say ye?
  Dale Erwin
