So... I repossessed the room above my garage from the kids playroom. I plan on making a small wood shop in it. The room is 12x24, Sheetrocked and has a window a/c unit. I removed the carpet to the bare plywood flooring. My equipment will consist of a midi lathe, compound miter saw, counter top drill press and sander and bandsaw and other small scale tools. I don’t plan on making large items, due to stairs. Mainly lathe work at this time. Here are my questions?
1. I need some flooring ideas to make cleaning sawdust a bit easier.... like vinyl flooring or similar.
2. I know I will need a small dust collection system, especially with closed windows and the a/c on. Was thinking about one of those 1hp wall units and running some 4 inch pipe to a few stations. Probably 15-20feet at the most. Will the wall mount unit be sufficient?
3. Should I invest in one of those hang from the ceilings air purification systems?
Any help and ideas would be appreciated. And a couple things to remember.... I’m new to carpentry and recently bought a handful of tools. Not much left in the budget for these ideas. But I need to get it done.
