outdoor exhaust dust collection ideas needed
Thread Starter: Nick Crivello
In order to maximize space in my small workspace I decided on a system that exhausts dust collection directly into my 100gal brown yard waste bin outside. It's based around a 2hp Jet compressor mounted in the attic space and a 6" line that drops into the shop. The problem is how to best...

Only one mortise chisel?

Having used both methods, drilling and paring vs straight chopping a mortise including sizes up to one inch, they seem to take me about the same amount
