Does anyone have a dust collection system that instead of blowing into a bag filter or other type of filter blows outside? Is this more effective than blowing into the bag since there would be less or no back pressure?
I turn in my garage - it is about 2.5 cars and everything is covered in dust from power sanding. I have one of those cheap 1hp blowing into a filter bag system and am thinking about upgrading.
I once saw a turners shop that blew everything outside.
If anyone does this, I am wondering:
Does the outlet of the blower need to be near the outlet of the house? I assume the closer the better.
In order for me to do this, I will have to drill a 4 inch hole through a poured concrete wall that is than faced in brick. I am assuming that I will use a dryer vent as the outlet and aluminum dryer tubing to hook everything up.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
David
