2HP TEMPEST Cyclone Dust Collector: 14" Steel Impeller with Filter Canisters

Outstanding Product & Great Service

The dust collection unit that I chose for my 14 X 21 shop was the Temp142X from Penn State Industries. Some specifications and reasons for picking this unit are as follows: 2 HP 14" Impeller - 6 Fin 1/2 Micron Filter Canisters Up to 12 Drops Up to 30 Ft Runs Up to 1200 Sq. Ft. 5Yr. Warranty I used the economy 26 GA. duct work which was noticeably heavier than the stores. Penn State had everthing I needed to put the unit in. There is nothing that I ordered that they did not have. Everything went together very well, from the the cyclone unit to the duct work. It took me 5 days to put everything in. There were three accessories I added to my dust collection system. 1. Cyclone muffler, which really makes a difference. It is quieter than a shop vac. 2. A long range remote dust collection switch and motor starter. 3. Recirculating clean-out system to clean the micron canisters. Penn State Industries had quick shipping and great technical and product support if needed. I highly recommend Penn State Industries and their product. A special thank you to Bill Whitaker for his assistance and guidance. I started using the dust collection system on an entertainment unit I am building. It is quite the system! When I used to cut on the table saw in the past I always had dust all over my hands and arms when cutting. I also remember seeing very fine dust floating in the air after cutting. The biggest thing I noticed is I do not cough any more when cutting plywood and partical board. That sure is not the case now! Put the best dust collecting system in you can afford. That cough came from being in a dust filled wood shop for 35 years! These are the guys to buy it from! If you want to see my system go to my bolgs on lumberjocks.com and my handle is ND2ELK. Th

Made a difference

I just wanted to drop you a line about my recent purchase and thank PennState for the help. First I want to say that Bill was most instrumental in guiding me in the correct direction and perfect piece of equipment for my needs. I have a small shop in my basement and needed to control the dust as well as the noise.I purchased a Temp142CX with the filter canisters.I located the unit in an area outside my shop and located the filters in my shop as directed. What a difference! This unit has so much suction I have no problem running several machines at once. If I am only running one piece of equipment, I open a second door just to relieve pressure. The noise level is down and the dust is almost non-existant. This has been one purchase the wife actually enjoyed.

Impressive

I just planed my first batch of wood since installing my 2 hp Tempest cyclone and all I can say is WOW. Not a flake of sawdust on the floor or in the air, pretty impressive. Pre-Tempest I would have had a pile of shavings on the floor and all over the extension my tablesaw.
