    What SUCKS for you?

    I'm a one man hobbyist, very low volume.

    My current idea of dust control is a leaf blower!

    I'm looking to add a dust evacuation system, most likely a shop*vac style system. I saw a much larger firm using the same system very effectively.

    Tell me what you use & suggest.

    Appreciate it guys!

    Get a 2HP Harbor Freight dust collector.

    I have a commercial car wash style vacuum that I picked up. A lot of suck, but the air volume is a bit lacking. Gerry is correct, the HF 2hp dust collector would be the better system. It would be much better coupled to a 55 gal barrel with a cyclone attached to the lid. Something like this. https://www.woodcraft.com/products/o...FVFffgodLQMNhQ

    It would, but it's very good by itself, for a lot less money. Just be sure to get it on sale, or at least with a 20% off coupon.
