Hi All,
Just completing our house move and am hoping to get my little workshop set up again. At our new home I have a small one car garage that will have to serve for all my workshop needs. As part of my compromise into one small space I would like to invest in a good dust collection system. The system would be primarily for metal grinding dust. The little bit of wood cutting I do can easily be rolled outside, but i would like to keep the doors closed for the longer grinding sessions. Also, my preference is to not vent directly outside. I do not mind sending the air outside, but would like to collect as much material as I can prior to doing so.
I have read some of Bill Pentz's site, searched the archives, and seen a lot of great home made systems. My question is this; if you were to invest in a ready made off the shelf system what would it be. I won't say cost is not an issue, but I will say that I am willing to invest a decent amount of money into a good system. For the sake of argument lets keep it under $2000 although I am certainly hoping to spend less than that. I am primarily interested in the dust collection aspect as I will also likely get a ceiling mounted air filter as well.
I hope this is not too stupid of a question and i appreciate your input.
