In reference to the dust collector, It works great with various shop vacs that I have. It's great for saw dust and other light materials. I suspect that a dust collector fan with a higher CFM would fare even better. As there are multiple designs floating out there, I think I may try something with more suction as well. Perhaps a 'home made" fan/impeller. I worked in the car audio industry for over 10 years and I'm acutely aware of the damaging effects MDF has on your lungs. I have a friend who died recently of Pulmonary Fibrosis. I used dust collectors and masks. He did not. I don't know his health history but he worked in a similar industry. If this collector helps to make the air in my shop cleaner, then I'm using it.

Ninja,
I don't know why you can't post pics. The "attachments" tab is just below this window when replying to a post.

Hi I know how to post pictures as you said, but I try many times, maybe because I'm from CHINA, if you don't mind, give me your email, I can send you all the pictures about the DC I have made

my father's work shop is small as yours, I made DC for him. here is  my built http://www.jpthien.com/smf/index.php?topic=1106.0 if you need, I can send you more pictures and CAD diagram , because I used laster cut

I made one like yours, but I don't know why I can post the image

more pictures

I used 3mm MDF and 1.2mm iron to build the DC, this is the big one,  so the motor I used is 380V 3kw. up to now, it works very good. by the way, the PVC pipe is D=110MM

Hi I'm new here, my name is ninja from china. my father is a woodworker. I want to build dust collector for him, and I'm a hobby woodworker. very nice to see you all
