Hello all,
A friend of mine started me into woodturning and so here I am. I do have one question. I read all I can on dust collection, here, pentz's website, and onieda's website and articles. But I still don't know the needs for dust collection of a lathe. I know I needed to upgrade after a few coughing fits in the garage this winter after sanding a bowl. I've purchased Jets air cleaner and now am looking at cyclone dust collection.
I'm upgrading from a shop vac and trashcan cyclone collection lid. I do "flatwork" for the family as projects arise, but my real concern is on the lathe as that's were I spend most of the my time.
So what are the real requirements for DC for lathe work? Will 110v cyclone DC (700-500 cfm) work next to the lathe? I understand the concept of buying the best, but my shop is all 110v. I'd have to add two subpanels to get 220v out to the garage as my current panel is full. So the price difference to upgrade to 220v DC is far steeper than just the cost of the machine. Thanks in advance.
Matt
