I need to get a dust collection system installed in small shop. Any
recomendations? I can use either 110v or 220v. Another question- why
can't I simply run a duct outside and blow dust into yard. I was
planning to put one of the trash can type collectors to catch the big
chunky stuff before blowing it out. That way I can avoid messing with
the filter bags.

Minuscule amount less if your blades were dull.

Do you have neighbors?
Also, without some sort of direction, the dust will blow all over the
back of the building, and stick to it.
Another consideration of putting the DC outside is climate control,
Heat and A/C will be drawn outside.
If you don't have problems with these items, go for it.

If you haven't seen this site, take a look. Blowing dust to the outside is
one of many things covered.

Because on a good day with the thicknesser, I can fill 10 plastic
sacks. I'd rather collect it into bags than dump it in a loose pile.

You can blow it into the yard if you want. It will double as air
conditioning. Does it get cold where you are?

Given the option, 220 is usually preferred. What kind of budget? <$300
will get you a major brand 1100 cfm that will easily handle a couple of
machines simultaneously. $500 will get you the new Jet with the canister
filter.
Sure, you can spew the stuff outside, but you may very well piss off the
neighbors, your wife, even yourself if you forget to close the car windows.
I planed down about 18 lineal feet of 8" wide maple tonight. It added quite
a bit to the bag of my DC, but I don't know what percentage would be caught
in a cyclone type collector. I'd not want that much stuff flying around my
garage and house even if it is just the fine stuff.
