Vortex Cone Dust Collector with 2-Micron Canister Kit - 1-1/2 HP 1 Ph 115/230V - DC-1100VX-CK This my first dust collector ever and so far am pleased with it. The noise could be a bit quieter, but interesting isn’t too bad.

Guys in video make it appear the machine is excessively loud. Specs list overall height at 18 inches! Apparently the on/off switch is located on the backside and requires bending down to the motor to activate. I am still interested in purchasing, just pointing out minor objections in your online promotion. It is obvious the machine is more than 18 inches tall

Can woodcraft match Home Depot for this item? Same price but free shipping?

This dust collector is designed to be connected to one or two machines. It seems very efficient at collecting dust. I have connected it to my 8" jointer, my 13" planer, my 10" table saw, and several other tools - of course, not at the same time. The design of the dust collector minimizes dust on the 2-micron filter. The collector has adequate power to collect dust from the aforementioned tools. I am pleased with the ability of this dust collector to collect dust and keep my shop clean.

Tried to work with the rikon portable dust collector in my small garage shop and it always fell shy for me. Bought this hoping it'd help... and am amazingly happy with it! Suction is excellent and works great with my table saw/bandsaw and horn for lathe/sanding. Only issue I have had at all is with my planer and only with some specific woods. In those cases, the shreddings are too long and clog at the fan ingest point... decreasing airflow and requiring manual cleaning. Other than that nuisance, I have nothing but praise for the unit... handles all my needs with ease.

This replaced an ancient dust collector that had a pair of cloth bags (30 micron filter style). Having the 2 micron canister filter is wonderful, as it now doesn't just pick up large wood chips and sawdust, but it actually cleans the air. I've wiped down all the walls with Swiffer cloths and found an amazing quantity of fine dust that the old machine did not capture. The new Jet catches it and keeps the place much cleaner. The Jet has far more power than the old 1HP machine did, as well, and it takes less current than the old motor so I can still run it on a 115V 20 amp breaker along with the saw (or one other machine). Using blast gates, I can draw from a saw or bench sander or a router table that's 20 feet away. Moderately loud but not high-pitched so it is not irritating, but I'd still recommend wearing hearing protection especially since it will be running along with some other noise-maker. Easy to assemble. Once it's delivered on a pallet, you can open the box and remove one part at a time, so the weight you have to carry into the shop is not excessive. Glad I got it.

Love this dust collection system. Replaced an older system I had with the better 5 micron filter and the difference is amazing! Jet doesn't let you know, EVER! Going to get a Jet air purifier to pair with this. Great purchase and would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a quality dust collector!
