I traded a couple peripherals I wasn't using any more plus $70 (tax
included) for a Delta AP400 roll around dust collector. It looks to be
is really good shape.

Someone must have used it for some drywall work, as there's sheetrock
dust around the collars and the bag, so I'm going to take it apart for a
good cleaning and probably wash the bags and filters.

I know this is a low end model and not powerful enough for long,
multiple runs, so I'll probably set it up close to the CMS and RAS and
roll it out to the big power tools when I use them. I'm just excited to
have something better than the shop vac for dust collection.

The hook has been set... Shocking how much cleaner the shop is with a
dust collector.

Looking forward to that.

I don't blame you...the difference is night and day.

I'm too lazy to look upwhat kind of DC this is. I doadvise to put a
cyclone separator before the DC. Just a metal garbage can and lid with a
tangential inlet and centered outlet will do it. Or you can buy a lid ...

I'll second this whole-heatedly. I bought the Grizzly G1028Z, which
is similar to yours, last fall and it came one of the trash-can
separators. The separator is the best part of the deal because it
keeps you from having to remove the bag (not all that easy). I get
about 1-15 trash cans full of debris before I have to pull the bag
off. It also keeps hard, heavy objects out of your impeller.

And - NO you cannot put a garbage bag in the trash can to make
emptying easier! It is hard to dig the shredded bag out of the
blower.

What? You're not even touting Festools today? I read the leadin and
then you stopped. Hmmm, very uncharacteristic of you, Leon.

My lid came free with the Griz 1029 DC, so all I needed to buy was the
metal can.

I'm wondering if I should ground...

Yes, for the infamous dust collector explosion that has never been
documented nor witnessed. :-)

True that probabability of explosion is remote at best. However, you
can get a really great zap which isn't nice.

I am sure lots o' people are aware of Bill Pentz, the guru of dust
collecting. I used the anti-static method he mentions here on his site
and have never had a single shock. Scroll down to section F.
http://billpentz.com/woodworking/cyc...ticElectricity

Awesome site by the way. Pretty much everything (and I mean
everything) you could ever want to know about dust collection.

Ground it with an insulated material.

You weren't grounded enough as a kid.
