After blowing out the shop twice today and with diminishing results I decided it was time to set up the dust collection system and use the dang thing.
I am in a bit of a quandary about running the ground wires. It appears that my dad had ground wire running inside the ductwork of the system. In the other examples I've seen online it is not done like that. The ground wires are attached to the outside of the ductwork and then grounded to tools and the blower and/or motor. ONe had a ground going to an outlet with the wire only connected to the ground prong.
Is there a reason he ran them inside? Unfortunately, he cannot answer this and many other more important questions I have.
