Like the title says, I am interested to find out what dust collectors have worked well for a small-ish CNC router, and possibly what solutions to avoid? (I am about to finalize the purchase of a ShopSabre 23 w/ spindle.)
Bottom line is I don't know how big is big enough. I want something that will pick up close to 100% of the chips, but I don't want to get carried away and buy something way bigger than I need.
I talked to Oneida. They recommend their V-3000 model. It is also quite a bit bigger and more expensive than what I had imagined getting. But it is 2 stage, which seems like a good idea.
I know there are a lot of smaller/ cheaper alternatives. Where is the point of diminishing returns as dust collectors get bigger? Curious what people are using, what works and what hasn't worked.
