Ok guys (and gals), I suppose I will pick up some DC "system" before I get the jointer.
I am in the process of building my benches and got a nice coat of dust even after blowing out the garage. It was late so I had to use the low setting on the blower… either way
So my wife has asthma and was complaining about the dust. This is for just a bit of work and ripping some pine 23/32" plywood… so nothing crazy…
I told her I could get a DC or some sorts and she suggested I invest in one. It's a 2 car garage but I don't want to wall mount a DC or the cost of a DC worth mounting. I still need to get my electric fixed up as well.
After much reading on here and other places I am looking at the Grizzly G1028z2 as a portable DC which can service 3 machines at once and run on standard 110v outlets at 1 1/2hp stating 1300CFM for $425.
The Delta 50-760 boast similar performance but looks like it may be hard to come by now.
Next I read up on ceiling hanging Air Filtration systems and while I read up on the JET AF-1000 being the "best" at $300 I can get 2 Wen systems for $200. I'd like the Grizzly as I seem to be drawn to their products… They have a few models as well. The Heavy Duty double for $335 down to $170 for a model very similar (same as) the Wen…
But all that I read is that all of these types of ceiling hanging systems are about the same minus paint…
I like the idea of 2 AF's hanging up scrubbing the air for a price less than 1 of the bigger named companies. I also read that there or 2 camps on this.
Camp 1- continuous use while working and to run for a few hours after working.
Camp 2- only use the AF after work is complete.
So with both of those in use I figured why not also have some simplicity added in, after all, this is all about air exchange right…
Why not 1 or 2 of these bad boys
I do live in Southern AZ after all and need some moving air
And after all the work and in between I also take a moment to blow out the space as well with a trusty leaf blower
In my construction days the day wasn't done until the slab was blown out…
So also remember, the only stationary item in my shop will be the Miter Saw station. Everything else is on wheels.
I can park the DC next to the Miter Saw and leave that hooked up and also have hoses running to 2 other machines that will have to be moved from their place of storage anyway.
Thoughts?
