Clear the air with this dust collector. The 230-volt, two-horsepower fan motor provides 1,500 cubic feet per minute of airflow for efficient dust collection from up to three machines at a time. The durable steel impeller is curved to produce the maximum air velocity. The induction motor provides efficient operation, running cool even during extended use. The collector bags filter particles down to 30 microns for capturing fine dust and chips. The entire unit rolls about easily on four casters, allowing the dust collector to move from machine to machine as it's needed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Delta 2 HP Single Stage Dust Collector, July 17, 2000

By 

Tom (Cleveland, Ohio) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Delta 50-851 230 Volt, 2 Horsepower, 1500 CFM Dust Collector (Tools & Home Improvement)

Want to run 3 machines at once? This machine will do it! This collector has (3) 4" collector inlets. I use metal ducting...I put a y in each of the inlets and have them connected to 6 machines. I consistently run the Unisaw, 8" jointer and 3 HP shaper at the same time with excellent results. The Y's go to a band saw, sanding center and a scroll saw and I use blast gates to control the vacuum to each machine. Tried PVC...It was a waste of money...Stick with metal ducting and you will not regret it. I've had my set up for 2+ years and never had a lick of trouble! 4 out of 5 stars...I would like to see Delta make Removing and Re-installing the cloth bags easier.

4.0 out of 5 stars Review, November 21, 2001

This review is from: Delta 50-851 230 Volt, 2 Horsepower, 1500 CFM Dust Collector (Tools & Home Improvement)

I have owned this collector for 2 years and have found it quite adequate to service my shop. I am reducting the shop due to rearanging the tools. I wish this had a larger single port to give me better airflow. I think it would be helpful if the bottom bag had a full length zipper to help empty the bag. Also, the bottom bag should have a velcro strip on the bag to hold it inplace whild trying to put the metal band on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't be tempted by cheap dust collectors!, April 17, 2004

This review is from: Delta 50-851 230 Volt, 2 Horsepower, 1500 CFM Dust Collector (Tools & Home Improvement)

If there is one machine in your shop that needs to be well made and reliable it's your dust collector. Think about it, if you have 5 machines that require dust collection, your dust collector will run continuously while any of those machines are in operation. Therefore, your dust collector will run five times a much as any other machine in your shop. I had serious doubts about units costing half as much as this one being able to keep pace with this requirement.

I specifically was looking for a relatively compact size, maximum CFM capacity and as quiet as possible. I'm happy to report that all of these requirements were met by the Delta 2HP model. The impeller is metal and well balanced (this contributes greatly to the noise reduction over cheaper units), the metal sound baffle between the blower and the drum is superior to the flex hose found on cheaper models (which will eventually wear out from the abrasion of particles on it) and having three 4" connection points at the blower reduces the amount of ducting required. Yes this unit is made in Taiwan, but it is made to a very high standard and is well packaged to avoid shipping damage. In addition to the dust collector I also purchased the 1 micron upper bag, buy this if you plan on collecting sanding dust. I use what are called drum liners (intended to line 55 gallon drums and available at Home Depot) for the lower bag. Heavy plastic bags are better and can be re-used, but they are expensive, hard to find and do eventually rip. I also bought a remote control unit for the starter which has proven to be invaluable. I can start and stop the dust collector from anywhere in my shop even in the "I only have one cut" scenario.

I've complained in other postings on how difficult it is to get information on Delta products from Delta. Three requests on the DB rating of this machine made to their web site went unanswered. Just goes to show that even big companies wrestle with their intentions, direction and service on the web. Nonetheless, this is a high quality product and well worth the money. Highly recommended.
