Now that I've built a dedicated wood shop in a detached building I'm thinking about eliminating the canister filter from my Shop Fox W1809 3HP cyclone and exhausting the fine dust out of the shop. I'd be curious to learn from those on the forum as I have some questions/thoughts ...
1. Is it as simple as just putting a hole in the all and dropping an open pipe from the dust collector thru the hole?
2. Is a filter or any type of cover needed outside?
3. Any concerns with the air seeping out of the shop with this open hole?
4. Will it suck all of the conditioned air out of my shop? Keep in mind I don't run the dust collector all day, I'm just a hobbyist and run it as I need it on machines.
