Hello,
My dust collector works great. I think however, I put too much time into planning it, that should have just been spent into building the thing. I just get worried about things too much sometimes. So say that there wouldn't be enough power, but in all honesty, the farthest part away from the machine is my table saw and if you aren't careful working by it, it will suck your arm in. My shop is clean and I enjoy using it. It is noisier than I like, but I am going to fix that in the spring and just duct it outside.
It is a great value for the money. I think the only problem with it is is that sometimes when you are working you don't want to take the time to start it, but you immediately realize the difference. I have to update my shop pics though because i added a chop saw counter and some sanding machines. Thanks for looking.
