Hi All
First time for me posting.
I have read some of the DC topics here and figured I would benefit from a DC in my shed so I headed into my local Carbatec with the intent of spending $600 or so.
Anyhow I made the mistake of asking the salesmans advise and that's when the trouble started.
I mention that I currently only had a triton saw bench and homemade router table so the guy said that a DC system would be of no help at all and I should buy a vac.
Well after trying to do the upsell myself and question whether a DC would at least be good for cleaning the floor I was met again with the same advise of, just buy a vac.
So a little daunted I walked out and drove home.
Now perhaps the guy just had me figured all wrong and it's a mis-communication or maybe he is right. So hence I'm asking for advice
So thinking about things afterwards I have tried vac's in the past and they were crap and slow at cleaning the floor.
Now while I'm sure I can't hook up a 4" hose to a 1" hole on the saw and get good performance I'm guessing a 1200 cfm DC and some heavy modification/additions to my setups is going to get me better than a vac??? Yes??
Or am I stuck with a vac until I get a professional table saw?
I have the size in the shed, the money to buy and am willing to do the work so is a quality DC at least a start toward getting something better than the crap I'm currently putting up with??
It's been 20 or so years since I did woodworking at school but from memory the DC system was magic at cleaning up afterward.
Any advice would be welcome
Oh and does anyone know where I can buy a Hafco DC in Adelaide? ;)
