I am wondering if I can install an in-line blower attached to one of my shaper's dust ports and exhausted it into my normal dust collectors ducting ? Too crazy?

I want to suck more out of my shapers dust port since the main line Y's to service both.
Will it have adverse effects on my main collector ?

First off, what's the port and duct size of the shapers? What is the duct size the Y connects to?

So, this is how the numbers work.... a 4" branch needs to move the air at 4000 fps to properly excavate the chips. To obtain 4000fps you need to move 350 cfm. You are combining 2 4" branches thus requiring 700 cfm. To maintain 4000 fps in the combined branch you need a duct size capable of 700 cfm which is a 6" duct (6" will move 785 cfm). So the simple answer is you need a 6" to 2-4" Y. Now this all assumes the 6" connects to a main that is moving enough air.

It will have no negative affect on your blower system.

I guess I should amend my response to say that it will have no negative affect on your blower system as long as the inline blower isn't so large it blows your dust and filter bags off the system.
