I have two Jet 1100 CFM dust collectors. So far, I have been moving them around from machine to machine. (what a pain). I am ready to begin setting them up permantntly.
I have a 32' x 48' shop with the typical collection of machines. When we built the shop (remodeled old hog barn) we ran 6" metal duct between the ceiling and hay loft. The ducts run out into a 12' lean to room. The dust collectors will be placed into a 6' x 10' "closet" in the lean-to adjacent to the shop with an opening back into the shop to allow the heated air to reenter the shop in the winter.
My original plan was to hook up half of the machines to each collector, but lately I've been wondering if it may be more effective to hook up all of the machines to both collectors to get twice the suction power.
Will this work or should I stick with my original plan?
If you have any other advice, I'd love to hear it.
