This baby really sucks. Before starting the unit up for the first time I accidentally dropped a quarter inch fender washer down inside the ducting. With no other option I decided to take my chances and hope it would not make it to the impellers. To make a long story longer this unit was able to pull the washer six feet horizontally, six feet vertically and then another twelve feet horizontally before dropping to the collector. The assembly instructions could have been a little clearer. The unit did have one small dent on the base. It would have been nice if the base was at least primed on the underside. Other than these small issues I couldn't be happier with the unit.
I recently have returned to turning on the lathe. As much as I enjoy turning, I have limited time to do so. Even though I am lucky enough to have a dedicated wood shop I feel it is very important to clean up the mess after each session. My new dust collector has cut my clean up time a good 80 - 90% and has virtually eliminated the layer of dust that used to cover everything in the shop. I made my own adjustable track system to attach a Big Gulp Dust Hood directly to the back of the lathe so I can put it right where it needs to be to do the best job. I did make a grate from expanded metal that fits in the back of the dust hood that will hopefully keep the wrong thing from being sucked into the collector. I am very pleased with this dust collector and all the items purchased with it. I am also pleased with the noise level.
Thank You for a great product.

Lots of suction. Quiet, some assembly required, but easy to do.
I purchaced this DC 2 months ago and I just love it. It is efficent, quiet and powerful. I have a small shop and it does a great job on my planer, jointer, tablesaw, band saw and my sander. It is a wonderful improvement over my shop vac.
