Tools and Hardware Reviews of JET 708626CK DC-1100CK 1-1/2-Horsepower 1,100 CFM Canister Dust Collector, 115/230-Volt 1-PhaseCustomer Review: Very happy with the quality Summary: 5 StarsI've bought a fair amount of Jet equipment recently, all of it for the same reason - value. Having bought Jet equipment years ago as well as more recently, I was fully-prepared to spend more on better equipment, but actually found that Jet's prices have dropped and quality has improved! My new Jet Deluxe tablesaw, for example, is better-designed, better-built and finished, and was cheaper than the Jet saw I bought nearly 20 years ago!
When shopping for dust collectors, Jet didn't even initially occur to me. Rather, I was looking at everything from Air Handling at the high end, to Grizzly at the low end. What I found was that Jet was pricing their DC's, like much of the rest of the line, very attractively spec'd and low-priced. As I also found it at a steep sale discount, I snapped it up.
I'm very happy with this dust collector. 1100 CFM is a lot to attach to a single machine through a 10' hose! (which is exactly how I use it - attached to one machine at a time) The only thing I might suggest that Jet change is to incorporate larger & better casters, and stiffen up the supports. This collector is meant to be rolled from machine to machine, and a more rigidity built into the design would improve it with minimal cost.
I find it interesting to read the differing opinions on this dust collector's noise level. I find it very tolerable and, like another reviewer, often leave it running while I'm between machining tasks.
Final note - don't get too aggressive with the flappers. Some filter cake build-up will substantially improve the filtration without overly affecting the flow. Once around gently when you change bags should be more than enough. Less often if you're primarily collecting chips and not sawdust.
Description of JET 708626CK DC-1100CK 1-1/2-Horsepower 1,100 CFM Canister Dust Collector, 115/230-Volt 1-PhaseThis new style dust collector will change the woodworking dust collection marketplace. Most woodworkers are looking for the most efficient dust collection system they can find, and the new JET canister filter dust collector, which filters down to 2 microns, delivers the superior dust collection today's woodworkers demand. The disposable clear plastic dust collection bag allows the user to remove debris directly to a trash can without creating a cloud of dust. The canister filter is cleaned by simply turning a handle on top of the unit that will shake the dust away from the filter material and into the collector bag. With this line of canister-filter dust collectors, JET has raised the bar on how clean shop air can be. To begin with, the new filter design captures particles as small as 2 microns, keeping even infinitesimally small particles out of the air you breathe. The best dust collectors in this price range in the past have never done better than 5-micron filtering--and that was after adding additional filters to existing systems. The V-weave design of the canister filter also yields greater capacity than the more common bag filter. Added filtering area allows for better airflow, so a clear plastic collection bag can be used without reducing the machine's 1,100 cfm. As a result, when the bag is full, you can tie it off and dump it rather than having to empty and reuse a dusty old cloth bag. Another feature we really appreciate is the filter cleaning mechanism. Turning a handle on the top of the filter rotates a cleaning flapper inside the filter, shaking loose dust and debris into the collection bag. Removing the filter and shaking it out or beating it is not required for regular cleaning. This model has a 1-1/2-horsepower motor, comes on a stand with casters, and has connections for up to two 4-inch dust collection hoses. It's a great choice for keeping dust under control in a small shop. --Brian Trinen
