Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The DELTA 50-850 1.5 HP 1200 CFM Vertical Bag Dust Collector features a volume-saving vertical design that doesn't compromise the power of its completely encased 1.5 HP motor, which moves up to 1,200 cubic feet of air per minute by employing curved steel impellers for durability and maximum air velocity. The vertical dust collector sits on a sturdy steel base, and four glide wheels that can move anywhere in your shop without damage. The durable plastic collection bag can be mounted on one of two rings. The upper bag can filter out pollutants 30 micron in size--contaminants that your eyes can't see but your lungs will thank you for. In addition, you can upgrade your machine to five- or one-micron filter bags. The 6-cubic-foot collection bag is a 6-mil durable plastic that allows you to see when the bag needs changing. Exhaust is filtered through the filter bag rather than the collection bag to prevent air from escaping. The dust collector includes four swivel caster assemblies, a cord, a plug, and an instruction manual.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very nice medium price dust collector, November 27, 1999

By	George Litwinski (Michigan) - See all my reviews

I've had one of these for about a year now. It works well, although you do want to wear hearing protection around it. Delta was shipping 30 micron bags with it when I bought it and I immediately sold those and bought 5 micron bags. (Delta should be ashamed to give you 30 micron bags with this thing. If they are giving buyers 5 micron bags now, I raise my rating to 5 stars.)

Also, while it may kind of work on a 120 v/15 amp circuit, you are much better off wiring it as 220 v. No more circuit breaker popping then.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful gift, December 28, 1999

By	C. Clifton "gadget freak" (College Town, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My wife gave me a 50-850 for Christmas. I love it. The fit and finish are excellent. I find it to be surprisingly quiet, though you still need hearing protection for prolonged exposure.

My product manual indicates that a 20 amp, 115 volt circuit is required. Perhaps this explains the previous reviewers breaker trips when using a 15 amp service.

The castors are sized appropriately so the collector rolls well. My only complaint is over the lack of a place to easily grab the collector when moving it around the shop. The temptation to use the power cord like a dog leash is strong. This is a minor gripe, however.

Your eyes and lungs will thank you for getting one of these.

4.0 out of 5 stars can suck the dark out of a cave, November 21, 2002

By	Jeffrey D. Hansen "turnforfun" (Eldersburg, MD United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

First - Great deal ... Ordered on Sunday afternoon - delivered on Thursday afternoon - Perfect condition - Outstanding job. Now the machine - it's big. If you have a small shop like mine this will fill up a big piece of it so be ready. The motor is very heavy duty and seems to run fine on 110v 12/2 wire with 20 amp breaker. Assembly is not bad and took about an hour. Instructions are pretty good but about what we've all come to expect with translation back and forth from English to Chinese. You will need to fully tighten the motor hold down bolts - they forget to tell you. Turned it on with the bare hose (a short length of 4" hose comes with it) hooked up to the lathe. Did some trial turning and it had very good suction - it will be much better when I add a hood. Overall quality seems very good. Base and swivel rollers nice & sturdy, motor is a beast, fit and finish great - no blemishes. Drum support struts varied from picture - they are stamped steel not tubes. Strong enough to do their job though. One surprise was that it came with a plastic bag (and a spare plastic bag) instead of the woven bag shown in the picture. I felt a little bit ripped off for that but since it will get changed out for a pair of 5 micron bags from Penn State who cares? The 30 micron bag is no good unless this thing stays outside the shop. The bottom bag does leak at the flange and would probably benefit from a 20" bicycle tube gasket or duct tape. The unit is surprisingly quiet and nowhere near the noise of a shop vac. I think it's a better deal than the DC1BXL or DC2 from Penn State even after the replacement bags are added.
