Hello,

I am going to spend some money on a new dust collector for my cellar shop.
I am looking at either the JDS or the Oneida. My longest run may be 30
feet. I am just a hobby guy so I would only be using one machine at a time.
Not sure of the size of the main run yet, maybe 6".

My question is about location:

I was thinking of having the collector outside in a shed and run the pipe
through a modified cellar window. Since the window is 6 ft from the floor
and the collector input will be 4 or so feet from that I am worried that I
am trying to suck the dust to high (far)? Is it worth it to put it out
there or should I just put it under the stairs. Has anyone ever had the
same sort of setup?

I live in North East Mass if that matters.

Thoughts or suggestions.

Thanks

Larry C




A 30-foot run and a 5 foot lift says you will need at least a 2 HP DC.
Venting to the outside during the cold winter months will make your
shop cold and/or put a strain on the furnace. A central location for
the DC might make the best sense.

Also the air that is exhausted to the outside has to be replaced.
Placing the DC outside may cause a down draft in the chimmney flue while
the DC is running.
