G8027 Popular Woodworking?s Best New Tool Award
Most of our staff has worked in professional cabinet shops where dust collection was a necessity. So we have strong feelings about controlling dust and chips in our shop. However, we know that dust collection can be pricey. That's why we are excited that Grizzly Industrial is offering a 1hp dust collector with 500 cfm (cubic feet per minute) capability for just $130 plus shipping. Though 500 cfm is less sucking power than the more common 650 cfm found in other dust collectors (priced between $179 and $230), we found Grizzly's machine more than capable of handling a home shop's needs. (A benchtop planer required 400 cfm to adequately collect sawdust.) Grizzly didn't skim on features to keep the price right, either. The 13-amp induction motor powers a balanced steel radial fin impeller to fill the 14-1/2" x 23", 30-micron rated bag. This is a lot of machine for the money, (even after you include the $20 shipping charge) and we're pleased that dust collection is becoming even more affordable so your shop can be healthier. Thanks Grizzly.
