I was reviewing some of what Bill Pentz has written on his website. It occurs to me that this could become very involved. And there's his apparent recommendation for using 6" tubing to connect tools to the dust collector.

It's overwhelming.

What are you using? Have many people gone the whole "Bill Pentz route" or something less than that?

What are *you* doing?

I can say that right now, I'm at the point of deciding which dust collector to try shoehorning into my micro sized shop. I actually use a shop vac with a cleanstream filter as the collection device for my planer and soon my TS. That's about it at the moment. There's more to come, but I want a sense of how far to take this. I'm a hobby woodworker building maybe 2 or 3 serious projects in a year.
