2HP DC2000B Dust Collector with 1 Micron Bags

2 HP Dust Collector

I recently purchased this unit, 2HP DC2000B Dust Collector with 1 Micron Bags, well it's pretty tall with the bag but don't let that effect your decision. This is a wonderful piece of equipment, I hope in time to run some short ducting. It's a little louder than I hoped but not bad and it SUCKS and I mean that in a good way, lots of suction does a great job in my opinion and no dust flying around in the air. I'm quite pleased with my purchase and shipping was pretty quick for something this heavy. Would highly recomend this to anyone looking for a dust collector, great price and works well

Eats Sawdust!

This unit was easy to assemble. Pulls dust from places I didn't know existed. The only complaint is the casters don't roll well on my cement floor.

Great Dust Collector -- Needs New Instructions

As a dust collector, this is at least a 4-star and probably close to a 5-star item, but the instructions were at best 1-star. The only thing that saved the instructions was the parts diagram, the written directions quite often skipped vital steps. But, once assembled, the unit sucks up all of the fine dust -- and much of the larger particles that fall into the Big Gulp -- from my lathe exactly the way I'd hoped it would. My workshop is next to the laundry room and we can once again hang wet clothes and know that they'll be clean when they dry.

Extremely pleased

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.

Less Mess

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. Bill
