Dust collectors and shopvacs do well in small shops.
We could get into a lot of discussion on dust collection but what you need is something that is adequate for what you are going to be doing. I really like the idea of power outlets in the floor but where to put them. You need unobstructed space around the machine (infeed and outfeed clearance). Remember, while the Shopsmith occupies no more space than a bicycle, you want to pay close attention to the area around that bicycle. The size of the work area (29' x 21') is a very important specification BUT where are the windows and doors and what sort of lighting will there be. Water and electrical need to be added at construction but some of the other things can be added later if budget is a concern. I have two Powermatic 1200 CFM filters in my 30' X 40' shop. No shop vacs or cheap Harbor freight dust collectors. That will probably be 220, but you have already planned for that. The largest cyclone dust collector you can afford. That eliminates having to unplug something to plug something else in. I have quad outlets installed almost every where.

They are cheap to install and you never know when you will need one. Other thoughts? Dust collection considerations? Other power considerations? Resources you recommend for workshop design? Thanks! I plan to have a 220 outlet installed in the floor in the middle of the room to maximize flexibility for the Shopsmith.
I'm looking for recommendations on design and layout features. Fquail wrote:My wife and I are building a new home and I have the good fortune to be able to design a shop from scratch.
