Community Dust Collector???

[mxracer]

What do you guys think?

We could all "pitch in" get this bad boy and work out a deal with the local authorities to use the sewer lines or something to connect ALL our shops
65,000 CFM should run a "few shops" right?

Or better yet, it's on wheels... could accompany the Good Will Lathe

Would a full sheet of plywood qualify as dust to this beast?

I'd be worried about smaller shops that don't have solid masonry walls.

Than again, if we just set it up and left it running, it probably would effectively collect dust over a 328 square mile radius.

Now, how long till Scott gets one :-p

I think Scott can already take care of all of our DC needs with his system.

I think one of our members used to have a system like that. If I recall, our user count decreased from 1,821 to 1,796 overnight.

Seems a bit overpriced..... If they bring it down a bit, who knows!

Better lock up the cats and the kids near that thing!

I'll bet you that it's used for collecting sandblasting residue from large projects (such as water tanks, bridges, etc), and that's why it's mobile.

Quite a machine....
