I have a few questions about a purchase I'm in desperate need of.
I work in an open garage, so its not about air filtration or anything like that.
Its just about the amount of sawdust and chips that are into everything, and the massive amount of time I have to spend blowing out and cleaning up everything constantly.
What I need" 120v machine, no more than 15-18 amp max draw.
One port is fine, but Id prefer 2 so I can hook it up either to jointer and planer in prepping wood, or tablesaw and mitre when working with it.
It has to be on wheels, and its base cant be much more than 2 feet wide in either direction. Height is not big factor, but cant be any higher than 6 feet..
If one of those little 1 hp floor units I see for 150 bucks is sufficient, even though they are one port, Id consider it.
Im guessing the 1 or 5 micron filtration is the particle size, not as important to me since I just want something to keep the waste under control.
Id like to keep the purchase under 250, and Id like to have a unit that has plastic bags that hold the dust so its easy to empty.
there are tons of them on the market, Im ready to buy. I know there are alot of non pro types here that work out of their garages, and I was wondering what units you use and if you're happy with them so I can make a purchase based on opinion and performance.
