My lathe is in the garage because I don't have room for it in my shop.
I just upgraded from a 2hp canister DC to a cyclone. I have been trying to sell the DC for $225 for a month now, and I had to get it out of the shop to make way for a new bandsaw. I was planning on pulling the motor and scrapping the rest, but then thought about using it on the lathe. So I gave away an old refrigerator next to the lathe and put the DC there. Haven't tried it yet, as I still have to put in a 240v circuit in for it.
Now someone wants to buy the DC, but I have kinda gotten attached to the idea of using it with the lathe. How well does dust collection work on lathes? I don't wear hearing protection now, but would have to with the DC running; and that isn't attractive. Should I use it or sell it?
