I need dust collection really bad. I have a lot of sinus problems and I know some of mine are dust related. Money is tight, work is slow so buying what I want is not an option.
One of the best ways is skipping the filters and just to dump the chips outside the shop and that takes the fine dust with it rather than keeping it airborne. (Yes it take out the heated or cooled air too.) I live in an area where that is an option. If I had a blower I could build something outside to catch the chips where I could haul them off. No need for filters and cleaner air.
Which begs the question; where do I find a blower? Pentz web site has all the info on building one but if I could find a used blower, it would cheaper since I don't have any of the parts and I am all about cheaper.
Any suggestions?
