    What?! You don't think in terms of 5/32" per turn? Why each 72 degree arc is 1/32" blade rise. What could be more obvious?

    My shop uses Philips T-8 bulbs with a 98 CRI rating. They were expensive, but are worth it. Hummingbirds fly in and buzz the lights until they are turned off. There is an intangible "feel" to...

    If you spend more time in the shop than in the bedroom, they might have a point about "habitable space".

    You got it! #1 is some concern, more so for AC than for heat. #2 depends on neighbors, normally. #3 is a low priority because the cyclones are very efficient. And you already live in dusty Texas!

    There are plenty of ways to store completed cabinet boxes within a small home. One can become a slightly high coffee table. Four of them plus two interior doors make a nice, flat dining room table....

    It squeaks when the blade is raised and lowered. It is too heavy for a jobsite saw. And the inside is covered with sawdust. Other than that, I got nothing bad to say.

    Thomas and Ian are correct. Therefore the performance will decrease. The shop vac remains the same in both cases. Adding a second cyclone adds pressure drop to the system. More pressure drop...

    Easy enough to test. Make a water manometer and fire up the DC. At zero flow, I'd bet that the two pressures would be about the same. One would be negative and one would be positive.

    No practical difference in pushing or pulling. The fan boosts the air flow pressure from the inlet to the outlet. It can go from 0 psig inlet to 0.2 psig positive if the fan is at the front of the...

    In high pressure systems, Ty is correct. It is more efficient to "push" the air than to "pull" it. The reason is that the air density changes as the pressure changes. In low pressure systems, like...

    Dan, if you already own a 1.5-2hp dust collector, then it makes no appreciable difference. Any 4" section will limit the total flow. 6" line keeps the pressure drop low, but the small DC impellers...

    Paper towels and rags can get wrapped up in the impeller and throw the fan off balance. Other than that, if the DC can move it, up it goes.

    This thread makes me appreciate not having a final dust filter/canister. Using Alan's setup and external venting, I know the bag needs changing when chips start floating by the window.
