Dust Collectors
I'm researching dust collectors. Primarily for use with a midi size lathe.
Wondering which models, H-P, and other things I should consider.
Any suggestions appreciated.

Pmueller,
I have a 2HP Grizzly with a 5 micron dust filter on it and a separator can, it is attached to all my equipment. Works great. I also use an air purifier to get the real small dust (0.5 -1.0 micron dust out of the air) Thats what causes the damage to your lungs.

Peter, I have a Delta floor model which is a nice cabinet syle. I opted for the large element filter option with the chip handle. It really is efficient.

The chip handle is used to vibrate the cartridge filter to loosen stuck chips and make them fall into the collection bag. You rotate handle in circular motion.

I see some one HP and two HP's. My guess is the 2 HP has more suction, but functionally speaking, whats the big difference in HP?
Will a 2 HP pick up more chips than a 1 HP?
My inclination is to go with a 2HP.

Dust collectors are rated by airflow, not suction like a shop vac. The higher the hp. the larger the fan blade is giving more cfm. The average 1 hp.'s are usually rated at about 600-650 cfm w/ 3" hose, 2hp around 1200 w/4" hose. If you decrease the size of your hose you decrease the airflow (cfm).
For use with a single tool a 1hp. 650 cfm is adequate, but if you wan't to set for 2-3 tools go for something in the 1200 cfm range. |

Would a good rule of thumb be 1 HP for each tool?
Or better yet, how many cfm would I need for each tool? |
