My shop is very small, 112 sq. ft. I only have room for my 10" lathe. The rest of the shop is filled with metal working machinery. Not having spare room I need to get a small DC system. I was thinking about the Dust Director but it is shop vac based and is noisy and I cant imagine how long the vac would last running constantly. HF has a small 1hp dust collector. Has any one had experience with it. It is small but I only need it for my small wood lathe. There is no room in the shop and I would place it outside the shop wall inside the main part of the garage and put the collection tube through the wall, about a four foot run. Sound practical? HF also has a little larger 1 1/2hp unit but I need to be as compact as possible. The 2hp is out of the question.
