Wall-mounted 'off the floor' dust collection.

[Robatoy]

I DAG'd it and decided I'd rather get the opinion of the current crop of participants in this ng. If y'all don't mind. I do respect the input.

I have acquired a shared lease on a 1250sq-ft (my part) shop after the current occupants ( a few yachts and sailboats, spread across 2500 sq-ft, I'm to get half of that) Reality tells me that I won't get that space till end of June, if I'm lucky. A couple of those boats are to be sold before they move out. Until then, I'm stuck in my garage/shop and need to address my dust generation. the 2-1/2' stuff just don't cut it no-mo'. I figure, up the wall it goes. Why waste floor space?

I also don't want to have to buy a DC twice. A 1000 CFM will be plenty for my needs, but 5 micron max.... preferably 1 micron.... so I think I'm talking about canisters?

Oh... here's a scary thought... the new place has 600 volt 3-phase....I guess I'm in trouble now, eh? (Think used gear.)

Which direction to take? A big-ol' Onsrud overhead router..orrr some slick-daddy style CNC stuff?

Life is good...firing on all cylinders.

You are moving from that cramped broom closet garage/shop of yours to a yacht barn??

Talk about culture shock!

Think the ol' ticker can take it?

The one condition left is that the owners produce the last 3 years of heating bills. Natural gas, forced air.

I was used to 5000 sq-ft prior to retirement and after the 'Closet'..

1250 will feel about right for me and maybe 2 helpers down the road.

LOL...that 'ol' ticker' is in better shape than it was 30 years ago. That was the only good thing to come out of retirement.. I finally got to take care of myself. If I felt any better, I'd get arrested.
