My Dust Collection System
I used a Harbor Freight Dust Collection 2 hp unit after reading good things on Woodnet.net forums. It was inexpensive. I added a Wynn Environmental filter instead of the bags. Here is what I did...
I had to remove the impellor to turn the housing upside down. Just unbolt and turn it 180 degrees.
I raised the impellor so I would not have to use two 90s to get to the ducting.
I needed to create an adapter for the six inch ducting. This was welded on the old housing.
Here is the completed impellor unit.
After the main 6 inch line it drops to 4 inch to go to the machines.
I built this stand to raise the dc even higher so the ducting will be about 9 feet off the ground.
Garbage can retrofit.
I'm using the Long Ranger blast gates that control turning off and on the DC.
This is the latest change. I used the old HF bag to make the skirt. Just shorten the band clamp and move one of the support legs to get the can in and presto...no more plastic bags.
