Here’s a picture of my current layout before I began work on the dust collector:<\/p>\n
Grinder stand:<\/p>\n The dust collector — I purchased the Grizzly<\/a> G1030 3 HP Dust Collector.<\/span> I wanted something that could move a lot of air, and supported 6 inch ducting, which is better for moving fine dust away from the machine and out of the air. This is a non-cyclone dust collector; my intent was to vent the air to the outside. The machine was also much cheaper than a cyclone — it was only $395, plus $74 shipping to my door. A cyclone would have been at least $750 for the machine alone, and probably would have been 1.5 or 2 hp and not 3 hp.<\/p>\n \n Of course, this required rewiring the shop, as it needed 220 volt. But, that was okay, as it isn’t too hard to do, and I really wanted a larger circuit breaker box and to make my table saw run 220 too.<\/p>\n I wanted to vent the air outside, and not hear the sound of the machine. So, I built a shed out back. I poured a 3″ concrete slab, 3′ by 8′ in size. This was my first concrete job, and it turned out pretty good. I ended up having to spend about $200-$300 on plywood and hardware, but most of the wood was recycled from the deck project.<\/p>\n Here’s a picture of the dust collector peaking out from its new home:<\/p>\n \n After building the back shed, I could cut the hole in the wall and run ducting. I ran 6″ out and dropped in a T to fork off to two machines and a floor sweep with 4″ flexible hose. The picture below shows one machine not hooked up yet (the jointer — which I need a dust hood for).<\/p>\n Then, I ran the 6″ directly over to the tablesaw:<\/p>\n I need some 6″ flexible hose, so the 6 temporarily drops to 4″ flexible tubing for now.<\/p>\n Next up is to run some more ducting over to my “welding area” to suck away all the fumes generated by melting steel.<\/p>\n I’m also going to build a new router table, and table saw out feed table. The out feed table will double as a work table and down draft sanding table (also hooked up to the dust collector).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve been working on my “Woodshop” (aka: the garage) in preparation for some larger projects (in particular, kitchen cabinets).
