Also looking for a dust collector. Not going to hard pipe at this time. Plan on dragging hose to machine I am going to be using.

Thank you for the input.

Ross, here's what I use for the dust collector problem.


Delta 50-850 1-1/2 HP Dust Collector 1200 CFM

salty covered the concerns for your spray booth... Grainger offers several options for blowers capable of handeling flamable vapors...
I use an old range hood.. but only spray water soluble paint through it because it is an air over motor... as i've said beofore.. primer and clear coats are sprayed outside..open air..

for a dust collector... any system capable of 650-850 cfm capable of 6" of staice pressure will handle single machines ( midi lathes require approx. 350 actual cfm to keep things reasonable) is fine for on spot collection... but are not capable of hard piping as the S/P loss would be too great... I advise anticipating the future and going a little larger.. Penn State industries is having sales on some of their models...
