You should seriously consider getting a 2 hp model with a much higher cfm
rating, say ~1000 cfm or so, and put the machine outside. I ran a Grizzly
in my shop for a while, but it was loud (although not nearly so irritating
as my shop vac) and it put fine dust everywhere. The fine dust is what
will kill you because it gets very deep in the lungs. I finally built a
small shed for the dust collector and have a chip can in the line to get
most of chips. Having the dust collector outside means less dust to
breathe, and having the chip can means I seldom need to change the bags.

As the dust collector dumps X cubic feet of air *out* of your shop, where
does the intake air come from?
Especially in the wintertime.
