“If
you’ve ever worked with wood, you know the importance of a dust
collection system"
Dust collection systems are extremely important to woodworkers of all levels, and the launch of the new DELTA® 1 ½ HP Portable Cyclone Dust Collector will give the ToolSelect community another tool to review and discuss.
The dust collector uses a chip-barrel system and uses a cyclonic action to separate and force large particles into the 32-gallon chip barrel. At the same time, a 1-micron canister filter traps small dust particles.
“If you’ve ever worked with wood, you know the importance of a dust collection system,” says Tom Klein, vice president of marketing and merchandising with ToolSelect. “A good dust collector makes for a convenient, hassle-free job while a bad one does nothing but create more problems. Our members will be quick to share their unbiased opinions on this new DELTA® system.”
The new DELTA® Cyclone Dust Collector claims a 1 ½ HP, 240V, 1-phase motor that produces 10 inches of static pressure with 810 CFM restricted and 1,638 CFM unrestricted. A 120V control-box conversion kit is also available.
The chip-barrel system requires no tools to empty the bag, rather using a bail-type handle to lift the barrel into position for operation and drop it for easy access and bag disposal.
This dust collection system comes with a barrel, two dust-port covers, one canister filter, two plastic dust bags, three plastic chip bags and four locking wheels and is backed by a five-year warranty.
