so, but what can I say (except cough)? No overhead filters for me - I've got a

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>> I figured you had dust collection eons ago,
given the kind of work you are<BR>> doing. After getting the collector
set up, you will wonder what the #^%$#^$<BR>> you were thinking
before!! IMHO one of the first items any shop should have<BR>> is an
appropriately sized dust collection system. Follow that by an<BR>>
appropriately sized overhead air filter. Both items, once you have 'em,
you<BR>> realize how bad you needed 'em. Enjoy your cleaner, easier
breathin' shop!<BR>> <BR>> Best,<BR>> William R. Monroe<BR>>
<BR>> ----- Original Message ----- <BR>> After developing a persistent
cough the past few months I've finally<BR>> convinced myself that my shop vac
just ain't gittin' it for dust control in<BR>> my shop. The real turning
point was thickness sanding a bunch of maple and<BR>> mahogany for several
bridge roots I recently made - I used a large conical<BR>> sanding disk and
the dust just billowed out from the sander. At best the<BR>> shop vac caught
about 3% of it.<BR>> <BR>> I purchased (ordered) a 5hp cyclone separator
today<BR>> </FONT><A href="http://www.clearvuecyclones.com/"><FONT face=Arial

found an extremely informative web site<BR>> by the designer of the cyclone
that I though might be of interest to those<BR>> who have shops and thought I
would share.<BR>> </FONT><A
