Go to SketchUp and get the model from Google, search for “LordLQQK’s wood dust collection”, or just click here: result=4. A set of plans are available thanks to yours truly. I have a solution for your cyclone dilemma, build you own. The 3M 7500 (pictured above) is my favorite. Note** – I have already received several emails asking me which respirator I recommend. It might be overkill, but you do plan on doing this for a long time, don’t you? Good luck Jason. But keep that respirator on anyway just to be safe. So, my suggestion is get the large tools taken care of first. So that should do just fine until you have the funds for a high quality system like Festool. If you can put a HEPA filter on the unit and use vacuum bags, you are even better off.
It might take some clever fitting, but you should be able to get it to work. But, you already have a shop vac that can be used as a dust extractor for sanding. Now, as you said, you definitely need both in the long run. If the dust cant get to your lungs, you are one step ahead of the game. That will then take the pressure off of the next purchase. The first thing I would do is pick up a $35 respirator. Would you recommend trying to collect the fine dust of sanding and routing or the larger dust from stationary tools first? However, I only have the funds for one of the two right now. I’ve been debating between investing in the Festool system or a cyclone type stationary collector. (I just bought a new Powermatic PM2000 table saw for Christmas) For the past few years, my only form of dust collection has been a Delta air scrubber and a shop-vac to clean up at the end of a project. As with a lot of entry level woodworkers, I’ve blown my tool budget on power tools many times over.
