dust collection

    Dust Collection - Spanning from an adjacent building.

    Looking for advice on spanning dust collection between buildings. If I were to move my 3/4hp 2 stage dust collector to another building, how long of a run could I make without affecting performance using 4" PVC? Has anyone had experience with this? A minimum of 12' might be possible, but...

    Rikon portable dust collector?

    I am in the process of cleaning up the shop before finishing a dozen stair treads. My shop is rather limited for space. I did a search on Woodcraft's website and found the Rikon portable DC. I can also hook it to a Dust Deputy for extra efficiency. Might have to do some shuffling with tools and...

    Dust Collection

    I hope it's OK to post 2 topics in a row...I know there have been several threads regarding this topic over the past couple of years. I have read them and I'm still somewhat confused. My situation is this. I have no dust collection system in place to speak of. I have what I thought was a good...

    Dust collection question

    I'm building a new shop - actually, the building is up, waiting for final electrical and a little bit of interior finish work before starting to setup shop. The shop is relatively small - 26 x 22. Because it's sitting on a side hill, there's a decently deep crawlspace available with about 5 feet...
