Officially new to posting, but been following on SMC a while...so hello !!
Now, I will make this as painless as possible. Im a long time woodworker, have dust collection but cannot afford a new unit at this time. Have enlarged my shop ansd am looking to setup for improved velocity and maybe a little cfm, mostly to eliminate more fine dust.
I have a 2HP HF and a 1HP Shop Fox and have been using 2.5 micron bags on both. 6" duct in the shop (28x24) with 6" to most all the tools and a blast gate on everything....only 1 (maybe 2) tools used at one time.
New setup idea will have the DCs in another room, so concern is added velocity and pressure, not necessarily some fine particles escaping the bags and contaminating the work area. Improvement to venting outside for my purpose ?? Yes, I can vent outside here and I realize I need an air intake for the vacuum loss in the shop as well.
Looking to run both DCs through a wye, into a trash can thein baffle separator, then into the ductwork. Remove the filter bags and vent outdoors on both the DCsSo, the question is....Will my setup diagram "work" ?? And what will, if anything, be improved ?? CFM, velocity, etc ??
