Dust collection

Post by sawmill »

Since it is snowing and blowing outside today I am cleaning up my shop and going to install a dust collection system. Should I put the main line in about 4 foot from the floor or lay it along the wall by the floor? I know that I have to run a wire inside for static elec but where is this grounded to, on the blower or a seperate ground?
Next question is I have a lot of 2 foot pieces of various widths . Does anyone have a good way to store these/ Thanks for any help. Ivan
