I am just about finished with the installation of my dust collection system and am now looking at an air filtration system.
First question for my dust collection - Does anyone have this system or something similar? http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=20375
I have one 6 inch drop that I left specifically for picking up the sawdust from the floor and workbench that is left behind from the machines but don't have anything hooked up for it yet. At first I was thinking about building a simple floor unit that I could just sweep sawdust into and it would be picked up but honestly, I'd rather avoid using a broom as much as possible. Would a system like this Rockler one work well for a dust collector? Does a dust collector (vs. a shop vac) have the pickup power needed to be used like this?
Next question on air filtration - I have done some quick research on a unit and think I have it narrowed down to
this JET (http://www.amazon.com/708620B-AFS-10.../dp/B00004R9LO)
and this JDS (http://www.amazon.com/JDS-750-ER-Fil...4142528&sr=1-8)
Does anyone have anything good/bad to say about one or the other? I'm leaning more toward the JET simply because of the price (and I'll get free shipping through Amazon) but can be dissuaded. Any other units I should be looking at around this price point? Lastly, I am considering getting two of them for my fairly small shop in order to have a good circulation of air. Is this overkill? My shop is a weird "L" shape but you could probably think of it as about the size of maybe a 1 and a half car garage.
