Howdy all,
I'm probably going to be re-vamping the way my lathe and stuff is set up. I want to set this up so that as much of the dust/shavings as possible are sucked up as I turn or sand.
I already have a good strong shop vac with a 14g capacity (something like a "5hp peak"). This would probably work fine but I'm afraid that this much use might burn it up. It might run, more or less, for a couple hours at a time.
Would I be better off buying a 1hp dust collector? It would be a $200 cost but I know these stand up to long-term marathon use very well.
Anyone have any suggestions?
