So my little shop has a compound miter saw, table saw, bandsaw, lathe, router table, and various hand tools. I've decided that my next step needs to be a better dust collection solution. What I'm not sure about is whether I should buy the legendary harbor freight dust collector now and slowly kludge and upgrade it into something awesome, or save up and buy a Laguna C Flux 1 get back to work.
On the HF side, I can get it and set it up now and upgrade to cyclone and cartridge filter later. On the laguna side, I can have a great system that does what I want out of the box, with no worries of voiding warranties or botching up upgrades.
I know its ultimately my decision, but opinions from more experienced hands would be nice.
