Im setting up my new shop. Im using a 20' shipping container box. My question is this. I want to run a Dust collector to each piece of equipment (grinder, sander, buffer)
I have a Grizzly Grinder, KMG, 9" vari speed disc, and a 1x30 and a 1x42 sanders as well as 3 buffers.
My question is how to duct it, and how many cfm's do I need to make it work well. I plan to vent to outside atmosphere.
I have a larger blower I got in an auction, just imagine a buffalo hand crank blower 5x larger. It has a plywood backing on one side that has a 3" hole in it. Im assuming it was used for this pourpose at one time. Its got a 1.5 horse motor on it.
should I use say a 4 or 6" pipe at the machine and duct down to a smaller main pipe going into the blower to increase my suction?
Anyone see an issue with venting to the atmosphere? Im in the country so bothering others isnt an issue, but will I be blowing a lot of sparks this far?? Mabe an arrestor in line?
Im worried about air quality in such a small area. I do wear a respirator, but the dust collector is a must in my oipinion.
If anyone has any cool ideas for a shipping container mod, Im all for hearing it!
Thanks and God Bless
