POWERTEC DC5370 Wall Mounted Dust Collector with 2.5 Micron Filter Bag | 537 CFM

It is a great addition to my small shop, but you need to be mindful of its In order for it to work properly, you need a four inch hose with a very short stepdown or it will rapidly lose suction. You will be very disappointed when you come off a four inch hose and put on say ten feet of 2 1/2" hose. It didn't work with my standard dust deputy. I tried hooking it up to the dust deputy just to see if it would work, As of now, the inlet and outlet sizes are just too small (only about 1 5/8" ) for it to operate efficiently. All the things I've hooked to it have kept up with There are some tools I use frequently that make pretty big chips and this just takes care of them. It works on my table saw, sanders and router, too, but it's connected one at a time, so I doubt you could make this As the price fluctuates by as much as 25%, you'll want to keep an eye on the price. Also, I believe the "Grizzly" and "Shop Fox" models are the same, only different colors. Putting the system together and installing it were simple and straight forward. (This plugs into a standard outlet) A few words about hoses and clamps, the Powertec hose clamp.

This product came in a box with a cloth bag and a wall mount bracket with mounting bolts My shop is 12 x 16 feet, and it was recently built. Using this vacuum, I will be assembling an interconnected pipe.
Of all the different kinds of pipes you can imagine, plumbing and dust collection do not mix. The following is an account of what has worked for me and what hasn't. Pros of

1. I like the paint job on this piece and how well constructed it is. When I assemble my vacuum plumbing, I find the suction to be adequate. 3.
There is a window strip on the collection bag so you can see how full it is. Bag is tied around the neck by a drawstring so you can connect the clamp while the bag is on.
There is a zipper at the bottom of the bag that will remove saw dust.
I like the on-off switch, although I have it plugged into a switched wall outlet. The cons are Firstly, enter 1. There was a lot of noise than one would expect. There seems to be a conflict between the removable wall bracket and the bag and clamp, which are hard to connect and remove. 3.
Initially, the bag clamp is very poor quality and difficult to attach but after it is clamped once, aluminum curves to the neck of the outlet, making it more comfortable to use, but it is still inadequate for frequently removing the bag. To get the clamp to slide itself under itself without bending, I had to use WD40 to get it to work. 4
In my opinion, the shipping box ought to have had better padding inside it than the syrofoam padding. *The inlet side of the tank had insufficient foam padding (less than 1/2 inch) to protect it. Note 5. The lack of diameters for inlet on Amazon and on the manufacturer's site is the biggest downside to you connected this to a vacuum system, wouldn't it make sense that inlet and outlet would be in the same place. This is my D and O. There would be a benefit to having dimensions. The packaging of this item took away one star. After I am finished with my shop vacuum system and have tested how well it works, I will reconsider the rating. Please note I have set up a 3 inch T-shaped overhead vacuum system with blast gates at each leg junction (10' x 10') and installed a 3 inch T-shaped overhead vacuum system with blast gates. The rubber clamp 70149 by PowerTec fits perfectly with the 4" O stud. It is located at the vacuum's inlet.
The 4" o also fits perfectly with it. This is a standard ABS plumbing elbow of 3 inches. Moreover, the Powertec 70149 also connects nicely to both ends of Taytools' 4" blast gates. A slightly smaller SawStop CNS-70149 fits okay with a Powertec 70149 Panel for the collection of dust from contractor saws with 4 outlets. A Big Horn 11741PK 4-inch clamp was used to clamp them all A clamp that fits an inch. Purchase of more ABS pipe and flex hoses will be the next step. Toward the end of the month, I shall update AAIN with the vacuum system's completion. Please note The rating has been increased to 4 stars as of 10/23/18. I did not give it a 5 because I think the shipping packaging was inadequate. A little over half of the system is For the system, we are using ABS pipe and pipe joints of 3". * The POWERTEC 70111 4-Wire is a high-powered, high-density cell Tubing that is an inch in diameter and ultra-thin A flexible 2 1/2" tubing is the perfect match for the POWERTEC 70190 Y-shackle In order to connect the Y adapter to my Sawtable Blade Guardian and bottom suction, we need three 3" couplings to connect two Taytools 4" Blast Gates and two In the piping system, connecting a section leads to a substantial reduction in sound. In the next update, final parts and decibel rating with and without pipe connection will be provided. Once the system is complete, it will have copper wire placed to ground the pipes to the vacuum system. There is an excellent video on youtube about grounding vacuum piping from downtoearthwoodworks.

In my experience as a woodworker, every machine has its own purpose, and I always do my best to research which brand of machine will do it the best. Therefore, I know this machine is designed to remove dust. In short, it does its job A very high-quality build has been achieved. The parts are all made of It appears that all of it is either machined steel or solid cast iron, from the impeller to the outer housing. I find it reassuring that I can suck up the occasional piece of wood without fear of it causing catastrophic damage internal to the machine. *Make no mistake, the motor is a beast of a thing. It isn't as loud as most shop vacs, but creates an impressive hurricane of suction when using it. There is a large bag attached that is made of thick fabric that can carry a lot of chips or dust without becoming cumbersome or As well as keeping its suction, it appears to maintain it when the bag is nearing capacity. The dust collector at the heart of my dust collection system will be an overly elaborate system that will satisfy my needs in my shop. The price is fantastic for what you get, and even though the dust collector isn't mobile, it will still serve me well. My recommendation is to give it a try.
