2004年12月5日 · I connected my 16 gallon shop vac with its 2 1/2 inch hose to the table saw. After just a few minutes of use I realized even a big shop vac wasn't going to work out. I then bought the delta 1hp dust collector, the two bag type--one above and below, for about $170 with tax. It's on casters, has a 5 foot hose, and stands about 6 feet tall.

2021年5月21日 · While a new jointer is much more exciting, my dust collection is pitiful right now, and consists of a shop vac I found in my basement that I think must have been abandoned by a contractor a few years ago. I am looking at either the Grizzly g0860 which got a favorable review from Anissa, or a Festool dust extractor.

2002年3月9日 · I'd love to put a big honkin dust collector in there but I just don't know where it would fit. I'd have to get rid of my tablesaw - if I did that I probably wouldn't need a dust collector. I use a 4 1/4 horse shop vac (ridgid brand)- it does suck up the dust/shavings from my planer, jointer, sander and saw pretty good.

Too much air pressure is actually a bad thing, since it can force dust right through a fine filter. So unless you are installing a full-shop system, with a stationary collector and permanent duct runs to every corner, a 2-hp dust collector (either cyclone or single-stage) with a 12-in. impeller is probably right for a basement or garage shop.

2020年11月7日 · So I use a older model shop fox that I got cheap and works ok for me. I wish I had a hepa cartridge filter, but guess that is a future upgrade for me. I do have and highly recommend a dust deputy between the tool and dust collector. It collects 99% of the dust to the point I have never actually emptied the bags on the collector after 3 years.

A bandsaw, router table, belt/disc sander, & spindle sander can be handled with a decent shop vac if it has a rather large storage volume.

2004年12月6日 · I work in my driveway. Little need for dust collection but it’s winter and I am starting to make more of a mess than usual. I don’t have a lot of space and it’s seriously misplanned but I can get a lot of work done. I’m considering some sort of dust collection and noticed I can for about $200 or less get a 6hp shop vac or 1 hp DC.

2024年9月3日 · I was recently gifted a Bosch miter saw and I would like to improve the dust collection. I have the plumbing figured out, but need a vac. Shop vac didn’t work well (no surprise), so looking for a simple alternative. My regular dust collector is at the other end of the garage, so not very practical. Thanks-rocky

2005年12月2日 · I think you need both plus a good shop vac. You are always better to collect as much at the source as possible. This is where the vac and dust collector come in. I use the vac on small tools like the router and sanders, the dust collector …

Because the port & the hood are so small in volume it does not look like a large volume of air can be pulled through the hood & port. Would a shop vac or a 1 1/2 HP portable dust collector work best in this situation. I’ve got a small shop so if I could get away with a shop vac without too much loss of performance that would be a good thing.
