The brush type motor is not made for the hours usually put on a DC.

Hello everyone,



Has anyone ever tried to use their central vacuum system for dust

collection?

The unit seems to be roughly the same size as the home shop dust

collectors

I've seen. The thing has good sucking power, but the concern I have is

the

intake port. It's only 1.5 inches in diameter. Is this enough to
handle

the

job, or should I spend the cash on a real DC? I intend to check with
the

vacuum manufacturer (Cyclone), to see what they say. TIA.
