I currently run two forms of dust collection - a shop vac (sometimes with secondary interceptor cyclone), and a large double bag style chip collector. At the moment I have to hook up individual hoses for the tool in use at the time. Something more "built in" would be nice.
It occurs to me that 110mm soil pipe is cheap and redly available. Has anyone created a working system with it?
If so how well does it work? How much dust collector power have you got at the head end?
Another thought that springs to mind, I could make more workshop space by shifting the dust collector into the adjacent garage. In the summer this would be ok, but in the winter it would be pumping warm air out of the workshop. Has anyone experimented with "bagging and ducting" the top bag of a traditional chip collector? (so the filtered air could be returned to the workshop)
