All,
I am in the process of finally adding a DC system to my shop. I woodwork as a hobby, and I don't have a huge shop, ~400 sq. ft. So, I will never have any terribly long runs and I don't have much space to store a DC. My original thought was to buy a Harbor Freight with the Thein baffle and vent outside. But, today somebody posted a jet DC-650TS dust collector on CL with a 44 Gal drum, 30' 4" aluminum tubing, and blast gates in like-new condition for $125.
I just wondered if anybody had any opinions or thoughts on this model vs. my original plan. Does anybody know what the original price of this model would have been? Part of me is thinking to just buy it at that price and give it a shot. If it doesn't meet my needs I would probably keep the tubing and blast gates and try to sell the DC at roughly the same price.
Thanks!
