I still haven't pulled the trigger on a dust collector, and at the suggestion of Clearvue, I contacted a Nordfab rep about getting a duct design.
Basically he shut me down saying Clearvue cyclones aren't NFPA664 compliant, and they wouldn't help. They said you should stick with one which uses a bag, rather than a canister, or run the cyclone outside the shop to avoid explosion issues.
I know dust can cause hazardous situation, and there is always the discussion of PVC vs Steel ducting... but should this be something I should really be worried about for a home shop?
Are there dust collectors which are NFPA664 compliant, and also efficient in removing the fines, like the Clearvue or other canister cyclones can do?
