Awl--
Ahm puttin together a HF order, and saw a price reduction in the 2 HP dust
collector (to $179), w/ a 70 gal bag.
I have a concrete room adjacent to the 2 car garage, with two 6-8" vents in
the ceiling that go to the outside. In this room could be put all my
welding and grinding stuff, and if I then put this dust collector outside, I
might have a pretty decent fume exhaust/dust collection inside, as one of
the vents is right in a corner, ideal for a hood, etc.
Q's:
Will my neighbors hate me? iow, how noisy is this thing likely to be? I
spose I could build an enclosure for it. I wouldn't want to interfere w/ the
outside gangsta rap ""music"", so widely appreciated here in Yonkers....
Is it likely any good? Would I be better off with something else?
I have seen very expensive dust collection systems, but I just need
rudimentary stuff for now, so's I don't choke to death.
I have a Grainger 3 ph 5 hp industrial blower that I could kluge up, but
that goddamm thing is more of a hurricane generator.
Iny idears, opinions?

For welding fumes:
Of the systems I've heard about, I like the forced air personal hood for
simple functionality. I've never used one, but I don't weld a lot. Small
blower feeding a suitable welding helmet with a skirt of sorts that fits
around your head/neck. I believe some speedglass hoods are built for
working with just such a system.
Doesn't do anything for air quality elsewhere in the shop, nor fume and
airborne particulate management other than excluding your lungs from it
though.

some sort of weather protection shed for it, yes? Line it with non-rigid
insulation and that should cut down on the noise. Another cheapy solution
that *really* contains noise: staple egg cartons to the inside of the
enclosure.
