    Thanks, I ended up getting the 1000B unit a couple weeks ago and I saw a huge difference immediately. Some of that might just be placebo effect but I don't care. The increased air circulation also helps my dehumidifier work harder and I live in Houston so humidity is always a contact battle.

    I'm still using a ShopVac for DC, I need to upgrade that. Still deciding between the Fein Turbo II (I only have a Desktop after-all) or a big Jet Dust Collector.

    Oh..so you died and went to hell?
    I used to live there and had a couple stores in Kingwood and Humble (pronounced Umble) so i know how unbearably hot it gets in the summertime. It seemed to be more humid in Galveston near the water and just stifling dry HOT in Houston.
    Are you in an airconditioned shop?

    Yeah, hot and humid. I don't have air conditioning in my shop. I've lived here all my life so I can deal with the stifling heat, I won't win any fashion awards wearing a tanktop, swim trunks and work boots in my shop but it's bearable. I'm more worried about the ShopBot overheating.

    I've got a penny jar slowly piling up to escape hell and move to Colorado one day... or I did, before I bought my ShopBot.
