2009年4月12日 · I have a question about grounding a poratable dust collection system for a small basement shop. I’ve read that if using PVC, one must ground both the inside and outside of the pipe.

2006年10月23日 · Wow, talk about passion! Most of the threads focus on what to get for your dust collecting needs. Fortunately (for my pocket-book) or unfortunately (for my lungs?) that’s not what I need help with now. I inherited what looks to be a Grizzly G8027 1HP, 500 CFM dust collector, so the choice for me, at least for now, is already made.
Central dust collection question… - FineWoodworking
2022年7月18日 · When I built my shop I installed 6″ pipe under the slab for my dust collection system. Wires were run with all the buried pipe to support grounding the system once up and running.
