When I designed my new shop I put an outlet for my 15” Powermatic next to the outside door so I can roll it outside when the weather is nice and sweep up shavings later to burn in wood stove.
Dust collection in a bin (which is below in the basement) doesn’t work well for me as I can fill it up three times just preparing wood for a new boat or other project. Using a ClearVu 1800 w 16” impeller.
My problem is the outflow chute of the planer gets clogged fairly quickly. This requires me to shut down, unplug, and clear. Otherwise the shavings seem to cover the bed and workpiece and affect planing quality & performance.
Thinking about a second mobile DC just for the planer. Appreciate any advice.
Thx. Jon
