Hi Phil,
New member here. What a great site with so much valuable information. I have a question reguarding the HF mini DC collector. In your #2 reply dated Feb 22,2008, you said you have made a DC with the HF Mini DC mounted above and in vertical line to the seperator and trash can base.
I understand from the specs on the Mini that it is a 1 hp. motor with 914 CFM. I have read too that a 12" wood planer requires about 750 CFM so as not to clog up. Would this DC have enough true CFM in a 4" diameter short line to handle a single machine like a planer?
I plan to build this DC with the blower mounted directly on top of your seperator with a side entry to the collector can. If you think this blower is too small, I can pick up on the local used market either version of the HF or the Grizzly 2hp-DC's, and do this project using the larger 2 hp DC.
Your thoughts?
Thanks,
John
