Here in Gainesville I have 192 sq. ft. to work in. Above all, I must keep a clean shop as my wife’s longarm quilting machine is on the other side of the garage. Fortunately, my 1/2 HP single stage DC with 2 1/2” hoses does a great job. I also use a Fein Turbo Vac, which can attach to my orbital sander and it literally sucks up all of my sanding dust. I wish I had room on the ceiling for an air filter, like the one I have in my Upper Peninsula shop, but present units on the market are just a little too large.
