I recently moved my shop from the garage (which it shared with cars, lawnmowers etc) to my basement. The new space is large, bright and dedicated to my tools. My main concern was keeping dust from making its way into the house and the rest of the basement. In the garage I could open the doors and blow the dust out with a leaf blower, but it always was a mess. After reading many reviews and articles about the "ideal shop" I purchased the PM1300TX-BK and the Powermatic PM1200 1791330 Air Filtration System. The two units working together have done a fantastic job keeping the dust to a minimum. I have each on dedicated 110v 20amp circuits. I bought several 10' lengths of clear 4" hose with quick couplings. I only use one tool at a time and changing hose connections takes only a second. There is still some sweeping up to be done, but not like it used to be.
A couple of notes on the dust collector: I have no problem with the 30 micron bag provided (as a few reviewers did) since the air filtration system takes care of the fine particles. It is fairly loud, though not as loud as my shop-vac and at a lower pitch. But when using it for quite a while, with saws running I do wear ear protection. One minor issue is the remote control. While I'm glad it has one, you have to get right in front of the unit and not more than 6 feet away for it to work. This wouldn't bother me so much if the air filtration unit's remote wasn't so much better. That one works pointed in any direction from greater distances. Same company - two totally different remotes (?????).
All in all, very happy with both machines. And my "ideal shop" too.
