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.<BR><BR><BR>

<DIV> Hi Guys</DIV>
<DIV> Hey all great suggestions. Thanks one & all. Where's Farrell?</DIV>
<DIV> 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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> 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. </DIV>
<DIV> Comments kids?</DIV>

<DIV>Dale,</DIV>
<DIV> 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</DIV>

<DIV> Saw dust princes</DIV>
<DIV> 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.</DIV>
<DIV> Sounds like deal for $275.00</DIV>
<DIV> What say ye?</DIV>
