Install the collector in the pallet rack behind the Shopbot. This will make the mounting of the motor easy and provide a framework for a sound enclosure, if necessary. The collector motor will be mounted on top of a piece of 3/4 plywood that is secured to the top shelf of the rack.

The approximate dimensions of the rack are 44" wide x 33" deep x 8.5' tall. Dimensions of the collector without the inlet tube are approximately 24"x34"x8'. (is this also true for the nano filter?)

Clearvue: If PVC is used, the pipe can be grounded with a wire run on the outside of the pipe, attached to a screw driven into the pipe every 5 feet. The screw running into the interior of the pipe will drain off any charge.
