Hi all,

I'm trying to find out about dust collection machines and I have noticed something ... the new styles that have the motor and the fan in the same sheetmetal located in the centre of the 2 bags have MUCH greater cfm figures. Is this for real ? Is there THAT much of an increase in performance ? Are they (as a general rule) also better on their static pressure capabilities ? And what style of machine is better as far as noise is concerned ? I don't want to create too much of a racket - the goodwill over the fence might evaporate !

Pleated filter machines are also claiming greater filtration. Do they get clogged quicker too ? The price to replace a clogged filter is enormous ! I hope they don't get replaced too often !

Any thoughts welcome.

Cheers and goodnight !

Which machines are you refering too?(brand/model#)
PFC's are cleanable some have internal paddles that you rotate with a handle, or you give them a squirt of compressed air(keep the pressure down low.)

Hi Harry72,

I'm talking of models like the Trupro CT-702K as seen here http://www.gregmach.com/new_machinery/dust_extraction/portable_units/ct_702ck.htm

Looks very similar to the Carba-Tec & Delta machines.

I've got a 3100CFM Carba-Tec/Delta model (CT-003V) & it's FANTASTIC!!!!
I see they are now $999.00...........
