I've been using a small Jet dust collector for years. I role it around and connect my different machines with 4" hoses and quick couplers. I've just dealt with dust everywhere because this only works marginally well. It does fill up 30 gallon bags on a good weekend..... Other than that, dust all over the place.. I'd like to improve on this situation, but do not have much room for a killer set up.
I have a spot in my garage, in a corner I can get to for periodic bag/chip removal. Footprint is roughly, 24" deep by 48" in width. 7.5' ceiling height. This is a corner to one side of an overhead door. This is the only place where I can route some 6" duct overhead to an area over my table saw.
I admittingly have avoided researching dust collection set ups, because I have avoided getting carried away with a system install in a garage, that will only get yanked out when I move in a couple years.
Any ideas that might work, or where I should focus my research?
