Goodness knows I would love it. I merely take a 6hp shop vac and move it from tool to tool as I use it. I mostly own Delta and Ryobi for price reasons and my Belt, drum sanders, and router table all have built in attachments for the vacuum hook up. No where near the cleanliness the vacuum system offers but works pretty well. I made a plywood encasing for the bottom of my table saw to attach the vacuum to it. The trick to the system is the piping hook up. Some day when I am rich and famous.. maybe

If your not living on the edge, your taking up too much room.

The dust system link that you posted looks like it would do a good job. The only real draw back is the fact that it is a 120v. motor. Do the offer it in a 240v. version ? Then it would cost 1/2 as much to operate.

I have one about like that, but after using it for a while I ditched the bags and just ran an exhaust pipe out back of the shop. You would think that you would quickly have a giant heap of sawdust, but it hasn't really been a problem. No more bag emptying and it runs at full suction all the time. Anyone who does much woood working needs some kind of dust collection to keep it out of the lungs.

"... it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." Matthew 19:24 - 3 of the 4 gospels contain this wise saying of Jesus. So, why do we hold wealth in such high esteem?
