Tools and Hardware Reviews of SHOP FOX W1685 1.5-Horsepower 1,280 CFM Dust Collector
Customer Review: Perfect for my 20x20 shop
Summary: 5 Stars
A dust collector was something I always knew I would need once I started woodworking, but it was one of the later purchases I made. I'm happy I ended up with this one.
I originally was shopping around for the Grizzly 1.5HP that would work with 110/220V. When I ordered it, it was out of stock for a couple months. It was at that point that I remembered the "Shop Fox" name, as Grizzly sells some of their equipment as well. I ordered one first for my neighbor who was in the market for a collector, and when I saw how nice his was, I ordered the same unit. The best part is, I found this unit on Amazon for the same price as the grizzly shipped to my door overnight.
The setup of the unit took 20-30 minutes. It was fairly straightforward, although moving the motor around was interesting because of it's weight. It might have been helpful to have someone hold it while I was putting in the nuts/bolts. The instructions were basically a list of parts, and pictures of what to do. I was able to figure it out without much trouble.
The reason I was originally staying away from the 115v units was because of the power draw. This machine powers up with roughly a 16 amp draw, so it really needs it's own circuit, although once it's running, you can run smaller tools on the same circuit. I like the flexibility of moving the machine around the shop without worrying about having a 220v outlet everywhere for it.
As for the construction of the machine, it's definitely solid. The pipe that holds up the bags is solid enough that I don't worry about it folding. When moving it around, I like to make sure I push directly on the base, because I don't want any more strain on the bags than needed.
The air movement is also very good. I use both 4" inlets with one going to my Grizzly 1023SLW table saw, and the other as kind of a "floater" to handle other tools such as my Planer, router tables, and miter saw. I use the shop fox blast gates to shut off one or the other, but the flow is enough that I rarely have to. The airflow is strong enough that if I put the 4" hose behind my Bosch Mitersaw, it will suck small pieces of wood right off the table if you're not careful.
This machine gives a great bang for the buck, and is recommended for any small time woodworker like myself.
