Built a 12x20 shed. Bought a harbor freight dust collector and would like the cleanest air I can possibly get so I want to vent everything outside. No separator, filters, or anything. Just eject everything outside.
Shed is not heated or cooled and wont ever be.
It backs up to woods. No concerns about neighbors. Nothing important growing where I will vent.
Would like to keep the motor inside for the time being.
Shed is not air tight. I have soffit and a ridge vents. Door stays open most of the time.
I am brand new to dust collection and have spent a few hours searching google. Can I just run the tube from the dust collector outside? Rockler makes a through wall piece of plastic I was thinking of ordering. Siding is t11 and walls are drywall, no insulation. Or can I use a dryer vent? Lastly is it okay to not separate prior to the DC? I just want everything to go outside so I dont heave to deal with it inside.
