I'm about to order the DC system for a new shop. It seems reasonable that, some day in the future, there will be a small CNC machine in the shop (maybe 24*36).
Do I try to accommodate for that in my initial DC design, or just forget about CNC for now and deal with it later? Any future CNC purchase would likely be at least 2 years out, maybe longer, maybe never...
It looks like, e.g. I could buy an Oneida Dust Cobra for the CNC someday in the future, and that's about the same price as upgrading to an Oneida Smaart from an Oneida dumb collector now...
(Yes, I understand somewhat about dust boot design,... I'm not trying to design a complete CNC dust collection system now, just wondering if a standard 3HP or 5HP Oneida Dust Gorilla Pro or V-System cyclone would work 'well enough', or if I could/should get something like a Dust Cobra dedicated for the CNC in the future when/if I bought a CNC machine ,...)
So how are you handling the dust your CNC generates?
Thanks in advance for sharing.
