I've been thinking about redoing the DC in my shop now that I've got the jointer/planer.
You can see in the diagram where my DC is now. Flex hose runs from my DC down to the floor where it connects to 4" PVC that runs between my TS and workbench and connects to my TS' dust port. There's a wye at the TS where I will connect a flex hose for my drum sander, lunchbox planer, or bandsaw. I added a wye at the DC connected to PVC pipe that runs up to the ceiling and then over to the lathe in the corner. I planned on branching off there to my CMS.
All of my tools are on mobile bases but as you can see, most of my tools live on the right side of the shop (the JJP is now in the vicinity of the belt sander) and the DC is on the left.
I am going to find a new home for the lift cart, but I was thinking about moving the DC there. Only downside is then I'd have a hose across the aisle whenever I use the TS. It would be nice to have the DC trash bin closer to the door, too.
The DC is tall but I don't frequently open the garage door--maybe once a year.
What do you think?
