A FREEBIE FOR THE SHOP
Well, must be my lucky day. Today as I was about to leave work, one of the Maintenance mechanics who is a friend called me and said they had a piece of equipment that was going to be discarded if I was interested so I went to check it out. It was a 3hp. commercial dust collection unit that is still in perfect working order. He said they were suppposed to throw it out last week, but since he knew that I might need it for the shop he postponed it until I got back from vacation. It cost me a cup of coffee and the extra gas it took to haul it home. Guess it pays to have friends in the right places. Mike |

Good for you, Mike! If you are going to use it for steel grinding grit, make sure you use steel conduit, and a water filled plenum to quench sparks. |

Don, No steel for this one, it will be used to get all of the other stuff. I have one of the Dayton vacuum systems that fits on a 55 gallon barrel rigged with the water plenum and also keep a couple of inches of water in the bottom of the barrel. |
