I'm looking for individual components to put together a DC system for use on one machine at a time that will be able to pull chips from my portable thickness planer. Since I do my woodworking on my driveway, the system needs to be able roll out there. It also needs to fit in a 24" x 36" footprint.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Thanks guys for your advice! I should have said in my initial post that I currently use a small shop vac with a dust deputy and it doesn't work well getting the planer shavings. My shop vac has a hepa filter that stays pristine with the dust deputy. So I am thinking I need higher cfm from a shop vac or some other fan to get the planer chips. Most shop vacs that I have seen only offer less than 200 cfm. The collection attachment for the planer has a 4" outlet which I transition to the 2.5" hose for the shop vac.
Given this additional info, any other ideas?
