I just bought a dust separator which i haven't installed yet.
Since my workshop is solar powered i am very concerned with wattage consumption so my thought is not to use my workshop vacuum (1600-1800 watts) and attach instead a fan sucking air. I have already an in line fan that i bought and never used.
Do you guys think it ll work sucking woodchips from the lathe only? The lathe table/workstation is adjacent to the wall that i will make an opening so the distance is minimal (maybe 30-40 cm, about a foot and a half).
Will the fans blades be ok with all the particles that go through the line or the air is cleaned up from the vortex thing/separator setup?
Thank you in advance for you time and effort, cheers.
