I have the opportunity to buy a Torrit DC system from the company I work for (Model VS 1200). The original use was a recovery system for a sandblasting system. It is pretty heavy duty, but I don't know if it fits the woodworking application.
I'll need a new motor, it's 3HP, but 3-phase (I think I can get a trade). It has two stage filtration, a canister type and a final Hepa filter that is rated at 99.7% at 3 microns. The supplier said it would pull around 1000 CFM.
My concern is the impeller style and size. As you can see in the photo, it looks like a squirrel cage type blower. The opening is only 8" across, so I question the CFM.
It's pretty good deal, but am I wasting my time and money on the wrong type of system
TIA
