The Powermatic PM1300 Dust Collector with Filter Canister traps up to 86% of one-micron particles for a cleaner, safer, more comfortable workspace.

For further convenience, a remote control and digital timer ensure easy, user-friendly operation.

The PM1300 Dust Collector With Filter Canister At a Glance: Dual 4-inch dust ports for simultaneous collection from 2 machines 1-3/4-HP motor for effective air movement All-metal construction for rigidity and air flow 4 swivel casters for shop maneuverability Remote control for ease of use

This efficient dust collector uses a canister filter to entrap debris, providing you with a healthier workspace.

The PM1300 features a canister filter element that removes 86% of one-micron particles and 98% of two-micron particles from the air. The filter is pleated, so it has a remarkable filtering capacity for its compact size.

The filter canister mounts directly to the collector housing. Four finger-operated knobs lock the canister in place, so installation and removal is easy and tool free. For further convenience, a top-mounted handle operates a pair of "hands" that wipe across the filter pleats and knock off dust buildup. Turning the handle one full revolution per month is all that is required to keep the dust collector operating effectively.

What's more, collector (catch) bag capacity for both fabric and plastic bags is an impressive 10 cubic feet, meaning you won't have to worry about frequent bag changes.

Powerful and Efficient Dust Collection
The PM1300 is powered by a 1-3/4-HP, 1-Ph, 115/220V TEFC (totally enclosed fan-cooled) motor for effective air movement. The motor is secured to a mount on the dust collector's base platform, creating a low center of gravity and ensuring easy movement around the shop.

Just as efficient as it is powerful, the PM1300 features all-metal duct construction that provides rigidity and maximum air flow. Additionally, dual four-inch dust ports allow for simultaneous collection from two machines.

Convenient Remote-Control Operation
For convenience, the PM1300 comes with a full-function infrared remote control. The remote emits an invisible light-based signal in a 120-degree cone--so you can use it pretty much whenever the dust collector is within your line of sight.

To help save on energy costs, a digital timer can be programmed on the remote for up to 99 minutes of continuous operation at the level you choose. The remote can also be used to turn the dust collector on and off.

Dimensions and Warranty Information
The PM1300 measures 29.0 x 72.0 x 37.0 inches (WxHxD) and weighs 150 pounds. Because the canister has an overall height of approximately six feet, it's an ideal choice for shops with low ceilings or overhead clearances, especially in comparison to the taller PM1300 Dust Collector with Filter Bag.

The PM1300 Dust Collector with Filter Canister is backed by a five-year limited warranty.

Not much to say here. Super Saver Delivery put this dust collector in my hands 4 days after I order it. Assembly was uneventful. Powermatic, for once, had a well written owners manual but again this machine is very simple to assemble. The machine works very well, timer and remote are excellent, power is very good, fit an finish is top notch. It would have been nice if PW would have included a dust collection hose, that was another $20.00 expense that many other manufacturers include. The owners manual indicates that you need to use 30 AMP circuit at 120 VAC which requires 10 gauge wire. I was able to operate this unit for extended period off of a 20 amp circuit with 12 gauge wire. However the circuit will need to be dedicate to this machine alone.

This review is from: Powermatic PM1300 1791077CK 1-3/4 HP Dust Collector with Canister Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)

- After lots of research, I ordered the Powermatic 1300 w/ canister based on it's ability to capture low micron dust (1 micron) and large filtering surface area afforded by canister system (compared to bag systems). I think it's a false sense of security to buy many of the less expensive "bag" units, many of which will only capture down to 30 micron dust and coat over quickly thus reducing available dust collecting capacity of the system. My long termed health is worth the greater investment to me.
- Order was easy to place and was received in a timely fashion (4 days after order placement)
- Delivery driver was courteous and helpful - took packages right into my garage for me; this is important because this machine is heavy
- Assembly directions were fine and assembly went very well with no specialized tools required. All parts went together great, hole alignment was right on! Finished product is a very solid build - no squeeks or rattles
- Vacuum is extremely powerful from the unit. I have not yet had occasion to try it under heavy loading, but feel confident it will handle anything my one man shop can throw at it
- Machine runs fine on a dedicated 20 amp 110 volt circuit. Clear instructions provided for future conversion to 220 volt power if desired.
- The remote and timed operating options are useful; should assure consistent use of device as intended
- Although packaging seemed adequate, the metal discharge chute was received dented. This was a cosmetic issue, did not impact unit's functionality. However, at cost of this machine, I wanted it to look pretty which lead to perhaps the most pleasant surprise of the transaction. I called listed problem resolution number and actually promptly got an American agent to assist me! I briefly explained the issue and gave her parts numbers for chute and gaskets on each end of chute and she assured me parts would be ordered promptly. I received email verification of parts order shortly thereafter and replacement parts were received in only 3 days... amazing service and concern for customer satisfaction compared to other experiences I have had!
- this is my first Powermatic purchase but I will not hesitate to purchase their products again as my shop grows; based on my limited experience with them I would highly recommend the PM 1300 dust collector to a friend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powermatic PM1300 1791077CK, September 13, 2010

This review is from: Powermatic PM1300 1791077CK 1-3/4 HP Dust Collector with Canister Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)

I felt the Powermatic PM1300 1791077CK 1 3/4 HP Dust Collector with Canister Kit was the right combination of power and features that I was looking for. The assembly was straight forward and the operation perfect. The machine itself is built well form and fit ok. My only beef is the cheap plastic handles that mount to the collector Housing Part U in the installation guide. The other Item is four cheap plastic knobs that hold the dust canister in place. I hope Powermatic reads the reviews? I know I would if I worked for the company. Come on Guys spend a few bucks more I really don't care if you pass it on to me. Other than that I really can't complain it's a great machine!
