Its been long overdue, time to get the dust collection system setup and plumbed in.
I must have pages and pages of layouts, pricing, notes, etc.
Here's what Im going for:
2 stage, using thein baffle above a 55 gal steel drum, into a basic filter bag/plastic bag. All of this plus an air compressor is going to be housed in a "closet" of sorts attached to one of the dividing walls in the shop.
From there it'll angle up along the wall to the ceiling and then run along a 40 foot wall. There will be 4 vertical down branches of piping to various machines (drill press, bandsaw, disk sander, lathe). There will also be a section that turns and then come down in between the table saw and planer all the way down to the ground almost acting as a pillar. At the base of that figured I might as well have a floor sweep.
Using all soft bends of course, and going to be making all the machine specific end collectors which will give me the best amount to pickup.
Blast gates are going to be made as well, still cant decide the pro/cons of using a self cleaning vs total enclosed version.
While I'm doing the dust collection I am also going to piping in a fume extractor that runs off a squirrel cage fan and pulls from the paint booth and also the forge / welding area.
So follow along as this process gets underway. I'll post pictures as I get updates done on it.
