Dust collector

That Grizzly really sucks. What I mean to say is it works well, just
couldn't resist.

I can guarentee that the cheap metal braces that hold up bag unit (the
only silver parts in the picture). do give out after a while. We have
one that was welded back once and is broke again. We'll probably just
rig something up. We have it hooked up to a Unisaw full time and open a
gate for a RAS and sliding bevel saw along the same wall. It works
great.

It getes emptied a few times week so maybe your braces will last longer
but they are a weak design. I'd still buy it for the price.

Finally, why did you ruloe out the Jet and Delta?

Sweet, can you give a breakdown on your decision making? I'm leaning
towards the PSI - what edged you to Griz (which I've never considered,
btw). Why did you rule out Jet & Delta?

Thanks,
Chris

Before you buy you really ought to read Bill Pentz's cyclone dust
collector web site. The man has done a ton of research and I think
you'll change your mind about the Grizzly after reading. I know I wish
I would have read his stuff before buying mine. The web address is:

Good luck. BC

Go for it. I too have one, my first also,

Get the benefits of both in one unit.

I just picked up a ShopFox 1.5 hp with 30 micron bags from my local dealer,
it was $179. Then I ordered a filter up grade kit from Wynn Environmental
for $118(poly spun filter washable). It took about 10 min. to install the
kit and it works great for under $300. All this info came from Bill Pentz
site on dust collection. I may go for a cyclone in the future but it doesn't
seem practical when I'm still hooking up 1 machine at a time .

Consider lifting the motor etc. off that metal garbage can
in order to empty it. Now figure out where you're going
to put the motor etc. while you empty the metal garbage
can. Now figure the cost of a chiropractor. . .

If it isn't easy to empty the can it won't get emptied
as often as it should. When it doesn't get emptied as
often as it should the impeller will take some abuse
and the cartridge filter will clog. When the cartridge
filter clogs . . .

You need a pickup truck so you buy 5 motorcycles?
If the thing doesn't do what you need it to do then
having two or three of them doesn't buy you anything
even if they're cheap to purchase.

When you're twenty you don't do anything that
creates or even stirs up dust.

When you're thirty you "don't need no stinkin'
dust collector".

When you're forty you know you should probably
get a dust collector - but house payments, kids'
college etc. ...

When you're fifty you're putting in 50 and 60
hour weeks so there's no time for making sawdust.

When you're sixty five you've got all the time
in the world and know know the lungs won't
last forever and plonk ot some dough to get
a dust collector that'll extend the useful
lifespan of the lung power you've got left.

Been doing it for a dozen years with my Delta, and I consider myself as
lazy, if not lazier than the next guy. Helps to have two cans, so you move
from one to the other, though.

I bought the Grizz and love it! I added a remote control switch rather than
automatic blast gates, mainly due to cost and need. Love that also .


Just MHO,

Vic

The average person doesn't have the big bucks needed to shell out for a
cyclone system. One could buy 2 to 3 Grizz's for the price of a good
cyclone system.

Price, for me, drove me to Griz.
A DC, in my mind, doesn't call for the highest level of Quality Control.

I have it and I am generally happy. Its my 1st DC so I have nothing to
compare it to. I do want a remote starter though. Right now I just hook it
up to whichever tool I am using. I really need to equip everything with
blast gates (Automatic would be nice)

Reasons for ruling out Jet and Delta were that they had a lower CFM and
static pressure and higher price, both have dealers that are over 100 miles
from me so service and warranty help is nonexistent. The machines I have
purchased from delta that needed service are now scrap metal due to
nonexistent support, Grizzly has always provided me with excellent support.
The Jet was tempting but cost was a little high. When I called PSI to check
on the machine the tech there gave me little or no information but only
wanted to sell me a $200 higher machine, left a bad first impression. The
Grizzly tech went over layout and usage of machine, problems and possible
solutions and upgrades that I could make at a later date if needed. While
the tech from PSI was probably right in his appraisal of what I need the
Grizzly tech was more in line with what I could afford and how to use the
equipment now and upgrade later as needed.
When I looked at the specs and costs for the machines Grizzly, PSI and
Harbor freight ($150 for 2 hp machine similar specs to Grizzly) came out on
top followed by jet and then Delta. When I took service (from my own
experience and from reputations) Grizzly,PSI and Jet topped the list.When I
put cost+specs+service+personal feelings Grizzly came out on top slightly
above PSI (HF sort of fell off the page there somewhere) Maybe not the most
scientific way to do things but it's my way.
