Thread: Dust extraction layout ideas wanted.

workshop plan.JPG

I have decided to go ahead with the CVMax to future proof myself, now comes the workshop floor plan and dust extraction design, I have attached the plan of my worksshop (garage), and the position of the proposed location for the CVMax.

I will be running 200mm mains and then branch off 150mm

If you cant see the image attached, it is a garage of 9m wide by 6 m deep. the garage door is at the north end.

there is a window at the south east corner, I plan to place the CVMax at this corner and vent out side. (any Advantage/disadvantage or do I actually achieve anything byvent out?)

Machine I have at the moment(some will be connected to the CVMax):

12 inch Dropsaw and the cabinets
Robland NX410 Pro combi machine (need a foot print of at least 5.5m x 5m )
drill press (probably dont need to connect to the CV)

I may add the following machines in future:
Wide belt sander (foot print is anywhere between 1800mm x 1100mm to 1800mm x 1600mm)
Bandsaw, not sure the foot print..

I am also considering sound attenuation ideas as my workshop creates a bit of noise and I am in a residential neighbourhood, basically the maximum noise my machine makes (at the boundary) is about 20 dBA-25dBA on top of the ambient noise.

any thoughts/comments welcomed!
