Product Description
Amazon.com Review
With this line of canister-filter dust collectors, JET has raised the bar on how clean shop air can be. To begin with, the new filter design captures particles as small as 2 microns, keeping even infinitesimally small particles out of the air you breathe. The best dust collectors in this price range in the past have never done better than 5-micron filtering--and that was after adding additional filters to existing systems. The V-weave design of the canister filter also yields greater capacity than the more common bag filter. Added filtering area allows for better airflow, so a clear plastic collection bag can be used without reducing the machine's 1,200 cfm. As a result, when the bag is full, you can tie it off and dump it rather than having to empty and reuse a dusty old cloth bag. Another feature we really appreciate is the filter cleaning mechanism. Turning a handle on the top of the filter rotates a cleaning flapper inside the filter, shaking loose dust and debris into the collection bag. Removing the filter and shaking it out or beating it is not required for regular cleaning. This model has a 2-horsepower motor, comes on a stand with casters, and has connections for up to two 4-inch dust collection hoses. It's a great choice for keeping dust under control in small to medium-sized shops. --Brian Trinen
From the Manufacturer
This new style dust collector will change the woodworking dust collection marketplace. Most woodworkers are looking for the most efficient dust collection system they can find, and the new JET canister filter dust collector, which filters down to 2 microns, delivers the superior dust collection today's woodworkers demand. The disposable clear plastic dust collection bag allows the user to remove debris directly to a trash can without creating a cloud of dust. The canister filter is cleaned by simply turning a handle on top of the unit that will shake the dust away from the filter material and into the collector bag.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great design,
By John Halsey (Portland, OR United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: JET 708634CK DC-1200CK 2 Horsepower 1,200 CFM Canister Dust Collector, 230-Volt 1 Phase (Tools & Home Improvement)
The new canister filter on this dust collector is a great design and seems to work really well. The product was back ordered for two months, but it finally arrived. Packaging was excellent and everything was in perfect condition upon arrival. Assembly was easy and everything lined up fine. This model has a 2HP motor pre-wired for single phase 220 and draws 8 amps, so I installed a new outlet on a separate circuit specifically for the dust collector. While cutting some Padouk wood (a bright reddish-orange colored wood) I noticed a few areas where dust was leaking out of the system. Since the sawdust is such a bright color, it shows up easily on the Jet paint. One of the leaks was where a weld was not complete, leaving a 1/16" gap between two parts. I caulked this hole and checked the machine for any other leaks. Tightening the hose clamps stopped the other leaks. You may want to run a similar test with your dust collector by cutting some different colored wood. Overall, I'm very pleased with the product.

Great vacuum - poor filter,
By William A Bristol (Lakewood, CO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: JET 708634CK DC-1200CK 2 Horsepower 1,200 CFM Canister Dust Collector, 230-Volt 1 Phase (Tools & Home Improvement)
I purchased my Jet DC1200K dust collector a few months ago (about a bag of sawdust). I am pleased with everything but the dust filtering canister. The unit has plenty of power and is relatively quiet. I can recommend this unit highly, but suggest you consider a bagged version rather than the canister filter if you use it more than a day or so a week.The dust filter has the same filter clogging problems as a shop vac only bigger. While the paddles are a good idea, they don't get the job done and some messy disassembly is required every couple of weeks or so. A thorough cleaning results in about a bucket of sawdust the paddles and thumping the canister miss. I recently decided to abandon the canister and go with a bag filter. I needed a bag retaining strap and a bag. Jet customer service told me the retaining strap was on backorder and not expected for a month and a half. (I wonder if there is a reason why Jet is out of stock on this item?) A Jet filter bag is priced at $138. I bought a Woodtek 20"x 36" 1 micron bag for $29 and used a Pony band clamp for a retaining strap. The revised dust collector works noticeably better than it did before with a freshly cleaned canister. The bag still requires cleaning, but a few slaps on the bag results in clearly visible quantities of sawdust falling into the collection bag. Air flow doesn't degrade as quickly as with the canister and cleaning is much easier.

Exceeded my expectations,
By A Customer
This review is from: JET 708634CK DC-1200CK 2 Horsepower 1,200 CFM Canister Dust Collector, 230-Volt 1 Phase (Tools & Home Improvement)
I ordered the dust collector and had only a small snafu with the delivery -- the web site indicated that it shipped UPS, but it actually comes by freight (read: you need to stay home and get it off the truck yourself).The collector itself is just terrific. Had some small problems with dust leaks around the bottom of the cannister (I'd recommend running a bunch of redwood through it -- makes it easy to find the leaks!). I'm running it with quite a bit of dust collection pipe and hose, and despite the distance, it's been able to suck up everything I've thrown at it. Ran almost a thousand linear feet of cedar through my planer last weekend (yielding over 100 gallons of shavings!) and the collector didn't even blink. As with any dust collector, I'd highly recommend a separator to go with it. I'd buy one again. Highly recommended.
