I have a very small shop in a 10’ x 12’ shed. Of course everything is on wheels. A number of years ago I bought a Delta 50-720 1 HP Single Stage Dust Collector for my Saw Stop table saw and a jet 6’ jointer. Recently I noticed that the suction on the Delta seemed decreased. There was a clog in the section of hose connected to the Delta, but clearing it out did not seem to restore its initial performance. I tapped on the bag, but no improvement. I looked into upgrading it. I found that replacing the bag that came with it with a pleated canister would improve things from a filtration standpoint. The next suggested improvement would be Cyclone setup from Oneida [Ref Woodcraft]. The Cyclone setups vary from a “trash can lid” to a “4” Super Dust Deputy Deluxe with a price range from $25 to $210. I read an article from FWW that reviewed these methods and at the end it suggested that they mostly work with Single State DCs above 1.5 HP. So my question is there anyone out there who has any experience using either or both of these upgrades with improvement worth the the investment on a 1 HP single stage dust collector such as I have? Thanks, Richard -- It isn't as easy as the demos make it seem. |
