dust collection options
I'm looking for opinions...
I just moved into a new apt that has a basement (shop). I've got a nice sturdy bench, cheapy bench saw and various other tools (ROS being the worst dust maker). I plan on getting some other stationary tools and possibly replacing the table saw with a decent one soon. No jointer or planer yet. The shop is about 12'x12' with very low (6'5") ceilings. My last workshop was a porch, so i didn't worry about dust collection at all. But my new shop is already covered in dust, and my lungs and throat don't appreciate it either. So I've been looking at my options... Think I've decided against a shopvac because it's noisy and not as efficient at sucking dust. Because my shop already feels small, I was thinking about a little DC unit like this one: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=36853 but for only $50 more, this seems like a good deal: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=45378 Is that overkill for my little, hobbiest shop? I mean that monster will take up a lot of room! I'm leaning toward the first one because I don't think I make all that much dust... Any words of wisdom for me? Thanks |
