Well the air for the furnace is being sucked in from the living
room
which is above the basement so it wouldn't be drawing the dusty air
from the basement.

The dust tends to permeate everything over time, with or without a
DC. Use
the 5 micron bags and it will help.

Hmmm, it's sounding as though this isn't a great idea... Is there
anyway to make it work? Sure would be nice to have the DC outside the
shop and the basement is perfectly located.


Best bet is to build a closet to hold it--contains dust and minimizes
noise as well...
