Do you leave your DC on all the time or does every one have remote switches or hard wired switches throughout the shop? I have a small shop and will run one machine at a time and I'm thinking of a Gorilla for the TS, jointer, planer, MS, BS, router table and maybe a flex outlet at the DP/mortiser (6" PVC w/short 4" runs-longest run maybe 35'). I don't know how to run a DC since I've never had one. Do you have to leave a couple of openings open all the time to keep the motor from overheating? If so how many and how big. Can the motor overheat if too many outlets are left open? Any big no-no's?
I plan on using long sweep elbows and plan on putting the Dc in another room to keep the noise down. There is a lot of info on DC equipment but little on operation. Thanks in advance for the help.
