Shop Fox Wall Dust Collector

Installed and in use for two weeks, I am very satisfied with this purchase. It has made a huge difference in the cleanliness of my shop compared to my old "adapt Shop Vac to my power tools" method. The suction is just fine - Not sure what other folks were trying to suck up that caused them to complain, It is after all a DUST collector (does well with chips and shavings too), not a "shop vac". MUCH quieter than my shop vac as well which is a huge thing when one has it running for extended periods. UPDATE: Both my thickness planer and my jointer cause the intake to clog with shavings and render the collector ineffective. This is because there is a safety cage at the inlet that traps larger shavings causing the clog. The cage appears to be there primarily to keep you from putting your hand into the impeller while the machine is running, and secondarily to prevent very large objects from entering and damaging the impeller. Both situations are undesirable and easily preventable. If you never run the collector without a hose attached and never try to use it as anything other than a dust collector attached to a machine (i.e. don't use it as a "shop vac"), you can safely work around the problem (although I'm sure the mfr would not recommend this). The cage is easily snipped away with tin snips. I've never had a problem with it sucking in as many shavings at as high a rate as my machines have been able to produce since doing this. Just remember to NEVER run the collector without a hose attached and NEVER use it for anything other than its designed purpose - collecting dust and shavings from saws, planers, jointers and other machines.
