Kelby,
Sounds like you are in much better shape than most folks with dust collection.

Must be nice living in a cool environment. ... I hope again some day. :)

If I can fit a ClearVue in a 160 sq ft shop, I KNOW you can fit one in a 550 sq ft shop! (smiling) Mine takes up 3×4=12 sq ft. That is 7.5% of my shop space and only 2% of your shop space. Your shop is huge. ;)

Modifictions to increase port sizes on machines is just one modification for imporoving the point source dust collection. There are lots of others modifications too. Consider your most difficut/challenging woodworking project and apply that same quality and amount of thinking for your point source collection challenges.

Best wishes on your project.
