As many of you know, I am a new woodworker, retired and pretty ugly. I feel strongly about dust collection because I value my lungs and health. However, my resources ($$$) are not unlimited.
Details:
My shop is a two car garage, 30 x 30. 9 foot ceilings. I have 100 amps available. I don’t have many power tools yet and don’t plan on alot. I just purchased a Hammer k3 table saw, and plan on building cabinets and various things around the house. This will be my primary tool. Don’t think I’ll ever get a lathe. Possibly a planer, but don’t know.
My budget is about $1500 for the DC itself.
I plan on building a small closet in the shop mainly for noise suppression from the dc, and to give it a permanent home.
Question: If I vent outside, won’t that pull cold/hot air into the shop? I live in North Georgia mountains and don’t relish a cold breeze inside in the winter.
I've seen many, many different brands/styles out there. It gets confusing. I really don’t want to be moving the unit around constantly, thus the closet.
I was thinking of a grizzly 2hp cyclone, but again sooooo many models and brands. I know many will recommend Oneida, Clear Vue and others, but again my budget is being stretched and the divorce cost would have to be factored in.
I’m sure more questions will follow, but I hope this gets me started.
