Dear Sawmill Creek,
I haven't done woodworking for quite a while.
However, my wife recently gave me to okay to build her a guitar.
I'm thinking of getting a drum sander (Jet 16-32 or 18-36, can someone advise me on this?) and finally getting a dust collector.
Currently, I have a Fein Turbo 1 attached to a steel Dust Deputy.
My workshop is a 1.5 car garage (barely big enough for my honda fit, and as wide as it is long).
I have tools that I largely don't run dust collection on, and just wheel outside (miter saw, saw stop, lunchbox planer) or ignore (drill press).
My other tools are directly connected to the Fein/DD setup (DEROS sander, Cordless planer, tracksaw, trim router)
I think my entire workshop is on (1) 120v circuit at 15 or 20 amps (need to check).
It was sorta an afterthought.
We're thinking of moving to a bigger house in the future due to our expanding family (first kid, a son is due in July).
Any advice on dust collection?
I'm considering getting something used off Craigslist. There's a Dust Cobra, as well as some more conventional dust collectors.
If I had a ton of money and time, I would have separate extra beefy circuits, along with a dedicated 220 v outlet for the dust collector (and an Oneida supercell).
Being a regular schlubb, most of my money will go to my wife and kid (and dog).
