All,
Got a simple question, I am working to get a DC in my shop. My question goes for main line length from the DC. I (fortunately) have been blessed with a large pole barn (30 x 46) to work with. I was planning on building a lean-to on one side of the barn to contain things like the DC, air compressor, bathroom, etc. Unfortunately, the placement of the majority of the dust producing equipment is farthest from the side where the DC would live and my main line would have to run ~20 ft before even the first branch. Does anyone here have experience/tips for long runs such as this? My inkling is that with a hobby type shop like mine, I shouldn't have too many problems with a long run but I wanted some verification on this. I've been reading a lot on this topic, and I think my head is starting to hurt.
BTW, the DC will most-likely be an Oneida Super Gorilla - 2HP at the least, 3HP if I can find the money in the budget. While I can possibly move it closer to the machinery, the lean-to was where I would like to keep in.
Thanks,
Scott
