Default Review: Harbor Freight Dust Collector

Best of all would be to exhaust it outside!

I've recently come to the conclusion that my shop-vac just wasn't
doing a good enough job at dust collection. When a Harbor Freight
flyer arrived in the mail recently, I noticed that HF was putting
their 13 Gallon Industrial Portable Dust Collector[1] on sale for
about $90. So I picked up one today to use with my planer, jointer,
and anything else I could connect up.


Just a minor note. This thing is more properly called a "chip collector".
It doesn't have enough airflow to collect finer dust, and any that it does
collect will go right through the bag.

It will likely work just fine to collect planer/jointer chips, but it
won't protect your lungs at all. You should still wear a respirator for
that.
