Hi all,
I am planning on getting a CV1800 dust collector for a small basement shop that is mainly used for turning, with drops for my lathe, bandsaw, and a separate drop for a dust right line (or something similar to clean the shop). I may add a drill press or other tools eventually but space is limited, so not sure.
The plan is to have my DC in a cold storage room adjacent to the shop with a 6” hole through a concrete wall to the shop for the main intake line. I have the option of doing filters or a direct outtake line to outside (though the line outside is only 4” so maybe not large enough).
I’ve Never used a DC and am just trying to educate myself on the basics but am finding it hard to get a basic overview. I’ve read Bill Pentz’s website and tried watching some YouTube videos and searching SMC but wondered if there is a good source on the basics, i.e. best type of PVC/supplies to use, details on installing the ducts and drops, how to prevent leaks, is grounding necessary and if so how to do it, etc. etc.
any guidance/direction would be appreciated.
Tom
