Dust Collection Install - WIP
Hi All,
My journey into dust extraction is starting. I have decided to get this all into place before I start purchasing some of the bigger machinery. Table Saw, Thicknesser and Jointer are next on the purchase list. I already have a belt and disk sander and drill press along with the regular power tools. I figured if I didn't get the dust extraction plumbed in and dusty shed built before I purchased the bigger machines I would never get around to it!
The current status report is that I have:
- Purchased some 150mm PVC stormwater pipe
- Purchased some smooth wall 160mm ID flexy
- Built a mitre box to cut the 150mm pipe!
Hopefully this weekend I will be extending some paving and getting started on the small lean to shed to house the dust extractor at the back of the existing workshop.
My first questions to the folks in this forum is of course the choice of dust extractor. I am looking for a 3HP unit and willing to spend up to $600. At the moment I'm looking at:
If anybody is willing to share their thoughts on either of those machines, or a better choice within the price bracket I would really appreciate it.
Unfortunately I only have one pic to get started...will hopefully have more this weekend.
