Want2B, 35 pounds would help me for sure, but more like 60 would be better ...
DirtDawber, My dust collector is a 2 hp cyclone from Penn State. It is in the garage area in the back of the shop. I used a fair amount of 6" plastic to keep up the efficiency. I haven't had a problem except I replaced the canister pleated filter with a dust bag. The pleated filter eventually plugs and I couldn't find a way to clean it. the felt bag can be thrown in a washer (at a laundromat ). I use an X-10 remote that hooks to my apron and controls everything just fine.
Silverfoot...thank you very much
