I know you're supposed to blow the dust off of equiptment and out of
motors every once in a while. Do you folks who do this use dedicated
compressors? This seems like it could perform dual duty (In the computer
room and the workshop), is exceptionally portable and doesn't take up as
much space. What do you think?



I would think that there should be a word of caution about the fan
system being discussed. Wood dust will explode, when it reaches the
proper concentrations. With the fan to create a uniform mixture of wood
dust and air through out the garage, you will get a bigger explosion,
when your furnace, or other system creates the spark.
