I do alot of work with rought lumber and have a cyclone dust collector ( frankenstein ), the issue I'm facing is just the amount of chips I am producing. I have a 55 gallon drum to collect the chips from my jointer/planer ( A41 ).?
I start alot of projects with 1 x 12 x 96 inch rough pine, which I will take down to 3/4 inch boards, I find myself emptying the bin numerous times during a run. Any suggestions on how to handle large amounts of chips from the planer?
I've considered upgrading the dust collector, but unless I go to a large industrial unit, the hopper capacity doesn't seem to change much.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks
Claudio?
