More Dust Collection Recomendations...

Hello Rich,
I recently purchased the Delta 50-760 after choosing it over the
50-850. They appear to have similar performance (yet if you rely on
reviews the 760 was chosen over the 850 by a tester for Fine
Woodworking.) Both are 1&1/2 hp and move 1200cfm The 850 cost more but
it can be easily adapted to a canister filter. I added a cyclone
immediately (cost of the top only- had a trash can) and because I made
my unit stationary I relaced the stock hose with a shorter run directly
from the cyclone and then used another short run to the line out from
my sanding/DC room.

The 760 services seven machines by running the length of my shop
through a 4 inch central line and when I want to sand somthing I
disconnet it from the manifold and hook it up in the separate room.
(By the way, I chose to put the hole in the block wall at waist height;
a reference to an earlier post of mine) The farthest machine is an 8
inch jointer and the DC system is able to draw all of the chips,
flakes, etc even though the total length is over 30 feet with two
(unavoidable) right angle bends in it.

I have seen similar sized units on the web for less than the Delta's
but I wanted to support my local shop so I bought it there.

By the way, Delta is offering a $30 rebate on the 50-760 until October
31

Hello Frank,
I bought a "Dust Separator", model W1049 marketed by Woodstock
International. It fits atop a standard 20 inch diameter trashcan and
sits adjacent to the wall. My DC rests alongside of it via the short
tubing I mentioned earlier. The unit seems to work adequately- there
is sawdust in the claer poly bag and sawdust, chips, chunks, etc in the
trashcan. I'm pleased with it; cost about $30.

Hi, All,

Thanks for the input. I have a call in to the local hardware store
to see if they can order stuff. I too would rather support them than
Amazon. Think I'll go with the 50-760 Delta.

Marc,

What cyclone did you add? About how much total room did it take?

I have an older Delta 1.5 hp single stage, new in storage and have
been trying to decide wether to sell it and buy a cyclone unit such as
an Oneida or to add a cyclone to it. I'm expanding my shop and as
part of the expansion I'm going to put in a stationary dust collection
system.

I have the Delta 50-850, with aftermarket bags. Works for me, in a
double car garage space, with too many tools. I spent your budget, if
you add in the garbage can seperator and 4" pvc tubing.

Others have other setups, and swear by them. I get to use my tools.
