I have a detached shop, and I was wondering about putting a whole house fan on the wall near where most dust is generated. It seems to me that might draw most of the fine stuff outside immediately. This would be in addition to my very basic dust collection system (3 HP Powermatic).

I live in Ca., and am not worried about losing heat, nor is there any gas appliance in the shop.

Any thoughts...is this another of my dumb ideas?
