WHAT'S THIS?

Inexpensive But Doesn't Pull Much Air
Wood Magazine, Volume 153, 2003-12

The reviewer gave widely varying grades to this cyclone dust-collector. This unit was the least expensive unit in the test, but it also had the lowest air pull rate in standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM). There were several high points: a clean-out zipper on the filter bag allowed easy dust removal, wall-mounting brackets come with the unit, and the unit can be shipped by UPS. The drum is optional and is 26 gallons, which is small, but it is easily attachable and removable from the unit. One low point is that a great deal of work is needed to assemble the unit, and the manual is poor.
