Greetings all
I have an Oneida Gorilla cyclone. I am working on rebuilding my dust collection system, and I have the opportunity to exhaust the thing to the outside of the shop. This means less room taken up in the shop, no more having to empty a filter, etc. I am not concerned about any heat loss, since:
a) my shop is heated with radiant heat
b) the DC is used for short periods of time
c) I have plenty of natural insulation
Has anyone here done this? If so, did you buy or build any special fittings? I am concerned mainly about animals trying to make a nest in the ductwork or the cyclone. Noise is not an issue.
Thanks.
Bill
