Situation ... I moved this year to new location and am currently working out of 1/2 of the garage. I need something small for dust collection. I like a 2-stage approach allowing the 'junk' to be separated and to not have to constantly clean filters.
I've done a fair amount of research on small dust collection stuff and found the plethora of recommendations on dust collection - totally frustrating. A lot of people want to post "what not to do", or the 3,000 steps and minutiae leading up to what they finally did, instead of something simple, clear and to the point.
I'd appreciate a link, thread or someone's post for pointed guidance on the parts and pieces for building a small cart setup. I need something I can put on a cart to roll around and use ,one at a time, on the dirtiest machines ... planer, table saw, etc. I'm thinking a 35 gal trash can, with a small cyclone on top, using my shop vac for suction. Current shop vac is a wet/dry 16gal Shop Vac ... 150cfm air flow.
This may be an over simplification, but I'm thinking an 8'-10' section of hose (~2.5") connecting to a small cyclone inlet (mounted atop the trash can), and connecting the cyclone (outlet) to the shop vac. All mounted on a cart which can be rolled around to connect individually to equipment.
Love this forum as it's always great for advice when I'm in a bind. Thanks in advance for ones help!!
