Shop Fox W1666 2 HP 1550 CFM Dust Collector Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After looking at many of the others in this marketplace, I found the Shop Fox. After closley inspecting the quality and workmanship vs the others, given the price differential I felt that there was not much difference between them.
I purchased this unit. It was well packaged, and all the parts were included. The hardware package was complete with more than enough bolts, washers and nuts for the job. Assembly instructions were clear, and it went together in about an hour. The only annoying thing was the straps for the filter bags which unlike the Delta machine, do not have springs to create the tension needed to clip them shut. However, after a bit of fiddling, I was able to get them to work.
Operationally, it is very effective, moves a lot of air, and really keeps the chips and dust down. I'd recommend using a trash trap ahead of the blower assembly to catch larger bits of wood, especially if you're using it on a tool that makes larger chips and chunks.
It's noisy, natually, but works well, and I'm very satisfied with the performance. I'd also strongly suggest the use of either blast gate switches or a remote 220 switch. Walking over to turn it on and off is a pain. Shop Fox makes a remote switch for about $45 which is GREAT! Just add it to the cost of the unit. You'll be glad you did. After 6 months of almost daily use, it's working just fine.
Enjoy. BTW, I also have a SF 10" Cabinet saw that I simply love...undoubtedly the best bang for the buck out there.

DELTA 50-760 1.5HP 1,200 CFM Vertical Bag Dust Collector Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was going to get the Delta 50-850 but this one includes standard 1 micron bags so I decided to get the 50-760 instead. Set up took about 15 minutes including fumbling with the bag and the exterior band strap. Delta includes an interior flexible band & a band strap to mount the bottom bag with. I suppose out of habit I used the band strap but the flex band seems a lot easier and I will probably switch bag mounting methods next time I empty it. The unit runs a lot quieter than I had imagined and seems to have more than enough power to collect the dust from my shop. With 2 clear chip bags 1 micron collection and the cfm rating this machine is hard to beat. I do not see having to upgrade to anything larger.

Help protect your health with the Delta 50-760 1-1/2-Horsepower, 1,200-CFM Dust Collector. Thanks to one-micron filtration bags, a powerful motor, replaceable dust ports, easy maneuverability, durable construction, and more, the 50-760 provides dependable dust collection for a clean work environment. And even with its powerful suction capability, this dust collector is surprisingly quiet.
Keep Your Shop Safe and CleanWith two four-inch replaceable dust ports and an upper filter bag that has the ability to filter out pollutants measuring just one micron in size, this dust collector efficiently extracts fine, invisible dust particles from the air. Much airborne dust--including wood dust--contains chemicals that can trigger severe allergic reactions in humans. And long-term exposure to dust can cause a measurable, sometimes permanent loss of respiratory capacity. This is why it is so important to protect yourself from dust that can lead to health problems down the road.
Powerful Dust Collector Goes Where You GoDesigned to work as efficiently as possible, the 50-760 features a 1.5-horsepower, 3,450-RPM, 120/240-volt, 60-hertz, single-phase induction motor, which moves up to 1,200 cubic feet of air per minute. And without compromising any of that power, this dust collector has a unique, volume-saving vertical design.
So you can clean any work surface or area in your shop, and to make storage a snap, the 50-760 sits on heavy-duty casters, a sturdy steel base, and four glide wheels to allow for easy maneuverability without floor damage. For added convenience, the motor housing can be mounted with the dust ports facing up or down.
The 50-760 measures 35.5 x 20.0 x 18.0 inches (WxHxD) and weighs 95.6 pounds.
Quick-Change Bags Simplify Dust CollectionIn addition to the one-micron filtration bag, this collector uses transparent, plastic chip collection bags that make it easy to see when it's time for a bag change. For added convenience, two snap-in bag rings are included for quick and easy bag changes without cam-over-lock clamps.
What's in the BoxMotor and blower, support frame, one-micron filtration bag with sewn-in bag ring, two six-mil plastic chip collection bags, one snap-in bag ring, two four-inch intake ports, four swivel-caster assemblies, cord, plug, and instruction manual.
