Ok dust collection question- almost finishing up shop and my last station I am putting in is a large multiple table saw (3) and router table station. I planned for this when building shop so ran 6” pvc under the concrete to this area. The three cabinet T-saws are laid out with two bolted together side/side, and one sitting opposite on other side of an outfeed table that’s soon to be built. The router table will be built into outfeed table, and the PVC pipe comes up from ground under the middle of the router table, thus trying to keep any dc piping very low in design. With four machines I am trying to design best way to distribute the air. I remember seeing someone designed a plenum of sorts with a gate on each exhaust port but no experience in this regard.
So 2 questions-
1. Anyone have one or seen one designed that is efficient in both effectiveness and space consciousness? Pictures would be extremely helpful.
2. The DC is already hard wired with several on/off switches throughout the shop, with one being on each table saw. But I am hoping use some sort of auto on blast gate on this plenum. Ideas /input for that?
Appreciate your input. TIA! Dave
