Small Portable Dust Collectors with Sep
DocXmas
| Posted in Power Tools and Machinery on
I am looking at the small 3/4-1.5 hp portable dust collectors to use in conjuniciton with a trash can sepearator: Penn State DC3 or DC5, Grizzly 1163 or Delta AP 300. If you know of others please share. Does anyone have experience with a set up such as this or these particular collectors. I plan to connect whichever system directly to each tool as I use it. I currently have a Jet Contractors Saw, Jet 14inch band saw, router table, Grizzly 6 inch jointer, and Chop saw I plan to use the machine with. Any suggestions would be appreciated. First attempt at doing any thing other than flopping my small shop vac hose in the general vicinity of the tool I am using.
Thanks in advance for all the advice.

You're in luck, Doc. Three years service and no complaints including the price. The can saves several ton's of empty work. Just dis-connect the hose and dump the can in the mulch bed outside.
Penn State 1 HP with 5 micron bag on mobile caster base with can separator. Direct to each tool.. TS, BS.. router table.. planer.. jointer and vertical sander.. as you mentioned.. (use the shop vac on the chop saw)
Went down to take a digital picture. I keep the hose connected to the TS. Time elapsed to move base and re-connect to router was around 36 seconds. Goes anywhere.. does anything.
How would I describe the set-up's efficiency on fighting dust?
Agile.. Hostile.. Mobile

I just bought the Grizzly G1029Z 2 HP Dust Collector w/2.5 Micron Bag and am pleased with it so far. To my surprise, it came with the trashcan separator free. Nice to get an un-advertised freebie. The only catch there is it uses 220V. Not a problem for me as my garage has an unused dryer outlet.
Good luck,
Jeremy
