Started woodworking at 70, three years ago. Found it to be the 2nd best fun without laughing! For my workshop I am using 1/2 a double garage. The garage adjoins the house so effective dust control with a low noise level is essential. Rather than use ductwork I intend to use a simple portable dust collector to service the following equipment
Jet 14 inch bandsaw with 4inch port
Triton 2000 sawbench
Triton router table
GMC Mitre saw
Bosch planer
Bosch Orbital sander
I am hand planing and scraping as much as possible to minimise sanding dust.
I am thinking that a 1 to 1 1/2 hp dust collector say Jet DC650 (650CFM @ 4inch) with a garbage bin and a pleated filter (12000sq in) would do the trick but as the saying goes "buy in haste - repent at leisure" - I dont want to become wise after the event
I've read varying degrees of criticism about the effectiveness of Jet canister filters flapper dust releasing action and I am uncertain about the washability of the filter material. Controlling cost is important and I'm prepared to fabricate a filter from local material if this is feasible
Would very much appreciate input from members of this excellent forum
Best Regards to all
