I’ve been in the market for a cyclone dust collector for a long time. I’ve done a few small projects for my home and I’m looking to do more projects now that I have a few more woodworking tools.
I did a small closet remodel last year in my son’s room and a closet remodel in our master bedroom. I got halfway through the master bedroom remodel and caught 2 upper respiratory infections within 3 weeks apart in December.
I finished the closet and wore a respirator when making cuts and sanding. I’ve currently put my hobby on hold since I know I don’t have an adequate dust collection system.
I’ve read Bill Pentz’s article on dust collection several times and I’m currently trying to find the right system for my setup. I’m just not sure which one on the market to go with.
Some facts about my situation are I’m a weekend hobbyist in an expensive hobby that can yield unparalleled satisfaction when the task is complete. Something about the feeling of making something from nothing. I work in an attached 2 car garage, insulated doors, and we occasionally park vehicles in it for inclement weather or if I’m traveling. I currently use a shop vac with a super dust deputy, use/run one tool at a time, and run a WEN 3417 air filtration system but there’s still dust. Also it’s a headache moving hoses from tool to tool. More than once I’ve made cuts with the system running on a tool I’m not using.
I’d like a system I can mount on the wall and still follow Pentz’s suggestions. I was interested in the Grizzly G0440 but that has been discontinued. I searched for a 2 hp Tempest but I don’t think they make them anymore. I think Oneida’s V 1500 and Clearvue CV 1800 are overkill and expensive for my situation.
What do you use in your small shop? What are your suggestions given my shop description? What are your thoughts on Grizzly’s dust collectors? Also, I’m not against the portable systems if I can mount it on the wall (14 ft ceilings).
