Hello All,
I am getting into this whole world of woodworking and am looking for some advice. My shop is well my garage and will remain so in this house. I have a dream of a dedicated shop some day....years away. This is a hobby for me. I turn out one to two pieces a year. With a new little one might be closer to one for a bit.
I am in the market for a dust collection system. Full support of wife on this one. I have done a lot of reading on this and am hoping to keep total install less that $800. This rules out some of the big cyclone units. I basically move all my tools in and out of "against wall" storage to use so this puts them within 10 feet of where I would have this collector located. Use for planer, jointer, table saw is required.
Right now I am trying to decide between these options. (Open to others by the way).
Used Grizzly 2hp single stage https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/h...071273656.html $275 maybe lower
Add wynn filter $150
Add upstream cyclone. Dust Deputy $180-$290 not sure which size or if there is a better option.

New HF 2 HP single stage http://www.harborfreight.com/70-gal-...tor-61790.html $160 with coupon
Add wynn filter $150
Add upstream cyclone. Dust Deputy $180-$290 not sure which size or if there is a better option.

Used Laguna 1.5 HP Cyclone https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/h...070385119.html 1.5 years old. $675 maybe lower

What do you all think? Are there better options I am not thinking of?
Also how will these work with sanding that have small ports. Will I cavitate the blower by backing it up on its curve? Best to use shop vac connection for that?
Thank you all for your help.
Jacob
