DUST COLLECTING . . . .

Well, I wasn't quite finished with the shed . . . .

I had earlier bought this Fein vacuum (it's really quiet and has quite good suction power). Rather than having to lug it around the shop to each power tool, whenever I needed to use it (and that's kind of a hassle in such a small area!), I decided to go with this kind of "mini" dust collection system. I got it from Woodcraft.

It consists of clear 2-1/2" PVC piping with blast gates. The piping runs around the room, near the floor. I have each tool connected to the piping with 2-1/2" clear hosing. So, now, whenever I need to use a tool, I just turn on my shop vacuum and open the blast gate for that particular tool. In such a small shop, with its 126 cfm, the Fein vacuum provides plenty of suction for my needs.
