Planer, router, more clamps, maybe some hand tools.

Spend $600 to $800 on a Jet DC1100 with 2 micron canister filter and enough clear tubing and fittings and get dust collection done right. With the last $200 - $400 get either a planer of air scrubber

I second the wood suggestion.

So, I just got home from home depot and purchased a ridgid 13" planer (I know I'm not allowed to gloat without pictures, but I'm still new to this). Now I need some suggestions on a dust collection system. My shop is 1/4 of my basement which measures about 15 feet by 10 feet so I'm not working with a ton of space but it's my own little slice of heaven. Any tips would be much appreciate.

I have a 12' Delta and haven't used it in months for not buying a few replacement brushes. It hasn't been a problem, because my lumberyard will plane down any material I buy. As far as dust collection, I'd just wear a mask for now. For what I do, (a lot of curvature), a good bandsaw is next on my list...

No disrespect intended, but for a basement shop DC is esentiall as is an air cleaner of some sort. THe dust will not stay in the shop; it will get in the whole houseOriginally Posted by Greg Deakins
