You might get a bit more, but there is no current info available on that dc. Keeping planer shavings in suspension in the air stream will take more than light dust from a chop saw.Ī 2 hp ShopFox should pull roughly 800 cfm through the 6" inlet, with a short length of pipe attached to the blower (about 5'). Also, since it's picture frames, I'm assuming you don't have a lot of heavy shavings. When your wood dust is moving, it will stay that way without a lot more energy. For example, metal dust must move at a much higher velocity. Again, there are tables showing what that should be for different types of dust. I think he shot for 3500 fpm in the main trunk. You need maximum velocity at the machine to capture dust, then slow it down somewhat so power isn't lost trying to move air at high speed. But when I had my layout professionally designed this summer, the main trunk was sized to run at a slower velocity than the branch lines. You should probably dig for some formulas on the web and also try to determine realistic cfm for your machine at a given SP. Am I going to maintain enough FPM to keep the dust moving with all 6" right up to the machines? Yes, it is a 6 inch inlet, and I do only run 1 machine at a time. You're probably not going to run many machines at one time, are you? I think I'd run 6" pretty much the whole length and neck to 5" or 4" right at the machine. What's the inlet to the 2 HP? I'd go with a 6圆圆 wye. I ran 4", but somewhere along the line, realized that 6" would be better. In my first shop (20x25 off of garage), I had a 2hp and then a 3hp collector. Should I use a 6+6+6 wye or will a 6+6+4 wye be alright for my branch lines? I planned on running 6 inch main along the floor with short 4 inch branch lines maybe a couple feet long. Keep pipe large, but maintaining fpm to reduce static pressure. Is this set up in an 'L' shape? If so, I think you'd be better off with the collector in the corner for two shorter runs. The end of the run is best, but if you have to, make sure you place your wye about 3' from the fan inlet and you will want blast gates on each machine. (Dust Collection and Safety Equipment Forum) Am I better off putting the dc at the end of the main? It is just easier on my space to place it in the middle. Is it okay to locate my dc in a corner and wye two six inch mains off of the dc? Each run will be at floor level, 20' and 25' long with six small machines total.
