Where to buy (not build) dust collector without bags

[Russ]

I want to buy a 2hp+ dust collector, put it outside my shop, and exhaust the sawdust to the outside. So, I don't need the big high micron filtration bags or the associated hardware. Where do I find the dust collector part only?

Thanks..........russ

I don't think you'll get sufficient suction without the resistance provided by bags/filters.

a point to concider!! you will also be exausting your heat and air conditioning [ if you have it ] to the outside. also concider the people living next door when the wind is blowing? sawdust all over their new lexus might cause problems! you could use the bags that come with the DC and build a small shed around it to keep the whether out. just some thoughts!! :-]

That would be incorrect, in fact the suction would be greater and non-deteriorating.

Google for centrifugal (squirrel cage) fan. Grainger would be a good place to browse too.

Where do you live? There may be codes against pumping sawdust out like that. You are talking about an exterior cyclone system which can be placed outside however, I recommend using a collection barrel on the cyclone vs pumping sawdust into the open. Try pennstate industries for equipment and supplies.
