Thanks for all of the feedback ... sounds like the Clear Vue is the best by many accounts.

I'll have to look into this ...

So ... who's up to help run the ducts!

I'm think about trying the mini shop vac setup. Has any one seen one of those in action?

They have a video of the small unit in operation on the website.

I've been reading a lot on this Clear Vue system and the plethora of information available about dust collection. It's all intriguing.

Not sure I'm in the position to lay out $1,500 today, but seems like a worthwhile investment for any woodworker. I can certainly say that my shop's dust collection is insufficient ... and now I'm convinced even dangerous (stirring up too much dust and not catching the dust that is really dangerous).

If you haven't read this website, I'd highly recommend it to any woodworker ... novice or pro. We're all interested in a new tool, but safety -- and especially our health -- should be a top priority all of the time.
