Does anybody have any experience or knowledge of using hepa filters in a typical small shop air cleaner such as the jds, delta, jet, etc?
I've been doing a lot of research but just getting more confused, (same for dust collection) so I figured I would just ask directly.
The best I've seen mentioned was 1 micron at the inner filter, but most agree that .3 microns is where it's at for lung health. I can't afford to spend thousands on an industrial hepa unit for the basement. So far the only reasonable one is made by grizzly for $589 with shipping. http://www.grizzly.com/products/Larg...r-Filter/G0573 They also carry a Shop Fox fine air unit but it is only 200cfm. I've seen them for $99.
Would it do any good to buy a regular unit (1 micron) and add the Shop Fox for the really fines for a total of around $350-$400?
Or should I just build my own using hepa filters? Anyone seen or built their own? BTW, I plan to install Pentz style Cyclone as well.
Thanks,
Ed
