I have searched this and other forums for dust control suggestions but I was unable to find any to fit my present circumstances.
I am using my garage for a shop, at least until the snow flies, and need better dust control. At the moment, dust collection is by a 10 gal. shop vac attached to the dust port at the back of the BT3100. I have ordered a Shark and when it arrives, I can attach it either to the shop vac (with a "T" fitting) or to my Fein 9.55.13 vac.
For now, I will probably use both vacs, one attached to the back port on the BT3100 and the other attached to the port on the Shark.
At this time I do not have room for a real dust collector (as Delta or other brands) but that may change in about a year.
I need suggestions as to whether or not an air cleaner (as Delta, Jet) in addition to the dual shop vac use noted above will significantly improve dust control enough to justify the cost. Or, should I use the dual vac system for now and wait to install the dust collector next Spring? Again, cost is an issue and I don't want to spend for the air cleaner if I am able to install a dust collector in less than a year. In the long run, should I plan for both a dust collector AND an air cleaner; in what sequence?
Thanks for your help.
