If the OP's worried about his health, I'd recommend an air-filter over
a dust collector. It's the small stuff that'll kill you, not the big
particles that collect on the floor. Plus, he probably already owns a
shop vac.


You beat me to it, Jeff.

Leon, you can sweep the floor. Sweeping your lungs is not an option :-).

I have a very small shop with no room for a dust collector. But one of
the first things I built was a dust collector that hangs from the ceiling.

Hi Larry,
What did it cost you to build this air cleaner? Ive been looking at
building one of them for some time. Where do you get the squirrel cage
blower?

By the way, Im leaning toward a triton router, forrest blade, PC brad
nailer and Dewalt planer. I think these would all be put to use fairly
quickly.

Thanks,
BadAndy
