Many people elect to use an industrial vacuum cleaner as a first attempt.
It does work, but it cannot create the vast volumes of air and high velocities required to move heavy shavings and dust any distance. A rule of thumb is that it will have a life expectancy of 60 days of running time. A dust collector is designed to move high volumes of air through a large diameter hose. This also provides the velocity required to move fine particles as well as chips to the collector. A Delta dust collector's motor has a life expectancy of 7 years of continuous duty.
