We have this in the shop where I spend my evenings. It is hooked up to the jointer, and I can tell no difference when this vac is on or off.

We have a 1 1/2 hp model with other tools and it keeps all chip outs and sawdust contained, even on the planer. But the single horse model can't handle the load and we end up with shavings from the jointer all over the shop.

Pull the hose out of the dust port and try to vac with it and it does absolutely nothing.

I suggest you spend the extra $100 and get the extra half horse, it is definitely worth it.

This is a very well designed and efficient dust collector for a single large machines or several small tools. Relatively quiet, this collector is well-made and easy to assemble. I recommend that you seal all possible air leaks around the tool to increase the efficiency. The included hose isn't long enough for most applications. Purchace additional hose and fittings to improve your connections. I was very surprised by how well it worked hooked up to my table saw. We were cutting up 50 panels of Homasote withing a closed office and the collector worked beyond anyone's expectations.

Bought this not knowing that I needed one and have come to love it. I roll it around or stretch 15' of hose to what I'm using at the time.
Works well with the equipment I use, 15" planer, 8" jointer, bandsaw and sanders.
Had to modify it by cutting out the cross bars in intake port because it would instantly plug while plaining cedar, with the stringy shavings. Now I'm carefull not to suck up big things because they would probably make the impeller unhappy.
Wish the bag was larger, it fills pretty fast and is a bit of a pain to put back on after dumping. Would consider a trash can attachment for catching most of the larger stuff becaus it would be eaiser to empty.
I would go for a larger one if I were going to plumb it in.

I recently bought this dust collector and have used it extensively when I was making adirondack chairs out of cedar fence boards. I found that while it had enough poop to draw the shavings from my delta planer, it tended to clog up right at the intake at the motor housing because of the cross built across the intake just below the impeller. I don't know if it was because of the size of the shavings or the fact that they were slightly damp. Same thing happened with myjointer. With my table saw and router table there was no problem. While it was easy to unclog the stoppage by pulling the hose off, it was tiresome and not what I expected.
So the jury is still out.

I use this dust collector in my shop, and move it from tool to tool as needed. I've had it for about a month, and used it a couple of times on my 6" jointer while face jointing 5-6" wide ash (about 50 bf worth).

It is my first dust collector, and I think it worked just great!

I purchased this dust collector about 1 year ago, and I must say it met my expectations.

I usually only hook up to one tool at a time and it does a wonderfull job. I use it on my Shopsmith so I did have to buy a reducer to connect to the 2 1/2 inch dust outlets.

It is louder than Shopsmiths own collector, but not too loud. I always wear earplugs in the shop anyway.

I recently purchased the Y connector and extra hose to hook up the table saw and jointer at the same time. I have only tried it once, but it seemed to do okay.
