Take a look at this:

Have you seen this? What if you got one of these blowers, used a good bag, added Phil Thien's separator/baffle? You might have a very decent dust collector for about $100 -- What do you thinK?
He says that it won't work with the DC bags, though. But he says that is because they have enough pressure vs. this high volume, low pressure blower. I thought that DCs are high volume low pressure ... but maybe not as low pressure as a drier blower.

Phil, any thoughts? Others, what do you think?
