Hi all,
I've recently bought a new house, and my shop will be going into the basement. Laundry is also in the basement, so good dust collection will be paramount and I was thinking that a clearvue would be one of my best options. Problem is the ceilings down there are low... like, really low. Floor to the bottom of the joists is only 6'10". I've read a lot about doing a smaller collection drum, and mounting the filters side by side. Even then, It's going to be really tight. I'm trying to figure out if I can set it up so that the motor goes between the joists. To do this, I would probably have to flip the wall mounting bracket upside down. It doesn't seem to interfere with any other parts in this configuration. Does this seem like a good idea, or will there be issues. I've never seen one in person, and I'm just going off a sketchup model that I downloaded.
Here's a picture of what I would like to do...
