Amazon.com Product Description

The DELTA 50-750 2-Micron Canister for 50-850 Dust Collector features an innovative pleated design that offers five times more surface area than most filtration bags for a heavy-duty performance worthy of your workroom. The filtration system traps pollutants as small as two microns in size, allowing you to breathe easier in your workspace. The canister also features three cleaning flappers that dislodge dust and debris from the filter, helping it settle into the chip bag for easy cleanup and emptying. This filtration system should be used with a Delta 1.5 HP dust collector.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Should Have Started with This, March 12, 2009

This is definitley one of those - "I knew I should have started here instead moments"... My Delta 50-850 dust collector is about 6 years old, so it's older than these pleated filter canisters and orginally came with a 5 micron bag for the top and a plastic bag for the bottom. About 2 years ago I decided it was time to upgrade since the bag was losing it's efficiency and I was spending more time cleaning it than using it. The cost of the cannister was so much though that I decided to go cheap and just buy the new 1 micron bag set that is available for less than half the price. That was where I made a mistake.
The 1 micron bags do a great job of capturing more of the finer dust we have to worry about in a shop but they clog almost instantly. Connecting this thing to anything producing finer dust particles resulted in only a few minutes of run time before I'd have to completely disassemble my collector and clean the bags. It became such a hassle I found myself using the collector less and less just to avoid having to spend my shop time cleaning bags.
I sprung for the cannister about 6 months ago and have been giving it a pretty thorough workout. Connected to all my tools so far and it's doing a wonderful job of keeping suction up while collecting the vast majority of the dust. I'm back to filtering down to 5 microns with this, but they make other tools like air cleaners that can handle the <5 micron crowd. When I see suction start to taper off I give the handle a spin to clean the pleats and I'm back in business.
It fit my old 50-850 perfectly without adjustment. Since I've had it in use I'm seeing an improvement to the % of debris the collector is picking up at my tools. I have some tools connected via ductwork and others that I direct connect to the collector - in both cases I'm seeing less residual dust on and around the machine after use, than I was with either my 1 micron or my old 5 micron bags. Since the filter is much easier to clean I have much less downtime with my collector than I have ever had - the price is it only filters down to 5 micron - but I can live with that and just turn my air cleaner on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Upgrade to this instead of one micron bags, October 4, 2007

I have used this canister filter for over a year now replacing my optional one micron bags. I prefer the canister over the low micron bags mostly due to the bags never inflate fully (which is normal). Visually the low bags would catch my eye when I was wearing hearing protection and I would become pre-occuppied looking at the bags instead of spinning saw blades (not good if you wish to keep all ten fingers). With all the addtional pleated filter surface area there is no noticeable exhaust air movement. And the heavy particulate agitator seems to do the trick in keeping the inside of the filter from clogging. It is a very expensive giant air filter but it works great.

I replaced the 30 micron bag on my Delta 50-850 dust collector with the 50-750 2 micron filter. Installation was simple, just a bolt on. It fit perfectly. I truly believe there is a perceptable difference in air quality in my small home shop. Not inexpensive at about $243, but a good investment. You only get one set of lungs.
