My basement shop is desperately needing some dust collection.
I'm wondering about converting a second-hand air mover (aka carpet dryer, aka blower) into a dust collector.
Has anyone ever done this before? It seems like the fan generally has the air moving qualities needed for a decent dust collector, I would imagine that putting it between a chip separator and a filter bag would meet most of my needs.
Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts or experience with this.
