This is my dust collector/ sanding station with the florescent light grill on top. doc,Im glad you started this because I needed to change my filters.
The front panel comes off of 4 threaded posts with wing nuts.
this motor I got from Grainger. It is basically a squirrel cage blower wired to a basic light switch on side.
this shows the 2 filter slots. 2 stage,coarse and fine . Basic 20"x20" furnace filters
Its pretty quiet. No louder than a window box fan on med...Oh yeah, it blows air towards the floor.

Thanks Shadow, I'm definitely gonna make one of those for my shop. Also going to invest in a room dust collector to hang on the ceiling too. Just too much dust in there!

Id make the one like I did 1st. I found that along with shop vac attached to my sanders and my chip collector, leaving this on in a corner take care of all the dust in my shop. I built it for a dust collector and ended up using it for a sanding station a few years later. I keep mine in mid shop against a lolly column(sp)

Hey Mike, what's the cfm rating on your blower?
