Chrisk1970 Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Hey guys, just out of curiosity, do any of you use a HEPA DC unit for total shop dust control? I've got two midis in my shop, one set up with the Oneida on my Kapex and the other is my pull along at the MFT and also when I'm routing or cutting at my plywood table. Tiny shop, I have a Grizzly air cleaner I run and keep my Sawstop hooked to an obnoxiously loud Ridgid vac. I'm thinking about getting a bigger CT36 or 48 now because of the sale or going or getting a cyclonic cleaner to hook up to my table saw, bandsaw and on and off on my jointer. Just curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 A CT is not a good primary DC for a tablesaw or bandsaw. It can suck the fines from close the the blade, but can not pull air through a long 4" tube. I use it for secondary collection on my tablesaw (on the blade guard) and it is great for that. It gets most of the fines and my DC (which gets hooked up to the main port) collects the larger chips. There is no difference in power between a midi and CT48. A 48 just has a bigger canister.

Chrisk1970 Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Okie dokie, thanks for the quick reply. I am under size constraints but I kind of figured I'd have to go with a standing unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxerjoe04 Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Hoping I sell a bunch of stuff this weekend at a craft show, if so, gonna get the midi or 26 and one of their sanders. Weather seems to be turning to crap for the weekend so that's not good, will at least get a dust extractor before the sale is done haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
