I'm trying to get the shop ready for delivery of my incoming Stinger, and DC is high on the priority list. At the moment, I'm using the red 1HP blower from HF along with a custom activated charcoal and HEPA filter (the design can be found in the Engraver's forum)... to say it's noisy at full power is an understatement (the things has to be in the mid-90's dBa range!). So, I'd like to replace it with something that I can run for both the laser []and[/u] the Stinger.
I'm looking at the 2HP PSI DC2000B for $340 shipped (at a nice and quiet 69 dBa). It comes with a 1 micron bag, but I'd like HEPA filtration levels... my lungs and my laser environment will thank me later. Any suggestions on where to find a HEPA element for the DC2000B?
