I am getting ready move to a new house and go from a 1 car garage shop to a 2 car one.

I am looking at maybe getting something to control the dust, but am not sure where to start.

A place in town has a good deal on a Delta 1hp DC for $159.

I am also thinking of an above head air filtration unit. I can only afford one or the other at thsi time.

I have a contractor saw, 13 in planer, router and router table and soon to get a 14in griz bandsaw

That is all the tools needing DC that I have at this time.  The table saw and router table work fine with my shop vac doing the dust collection. and so far I have been using the planer outside under a covered patio, letting the chips fall where they may and when done planing,  sweeping up the remains, relaxing  and contemplating the next steps in the project.

I work with my power equipment and probably will continue to do so no matter what I get.

So my question is based on what I have and plan to get ( a jointer is down the line somewhere – maybe) which would I be better off getting.  I am leaning towards the overhead, because it will get the finer dust. 

FYI as a habit, I use a dust filter mask whenever I work with my tools as a precaution and will probably continue to do so no matter what I buy.

So my question is based on what I have and plan to get ( a jointer is down the line somewhere – maybe) which would I be better off getting.  I am leaning towards the overhead, because it will get the finer dust which I view as more of a health hazard.
