Appreciate the replies.

I've been doing more research and agree 1.5 hp / 1000CFM is probably the
minimum I need.

I'm also realizing that the purchase price of this tool may be secondary to
my health and
my familys.

The local Rockler's has same deal on the 1100 model also, but, ..

My biggest question is 'Is a 2 micron filter good enouth'?

As mentioned on Bill Pentz's web site, particles below 2.5 micron are the
worst.

That said, should I be considering the PSI DC2000BCF (1 micron) over the Jet
1100 (2 micron)
canister or do most still wear dust masks (as I would expect to) as a 'last
line of defense'?

Is rewiring the PSI unit for 110 a big deal. I only have 1 circuit open in
my service panel, so
installing another 220 line may be a problem (unless I can find a real good
deal on a gas dryer

Also, I already have a dust separaror, 4" in / 2.5" out to the shop vac..

Finally, what is the current draw on the Jet 1100 @ 110v.

ThankX again,
Ron

I don't believe you can re-wire the PSI DC2000BCF for 110v. It is an
especially good deal price wise
during the current sale. I have the PSI DC2V2 which can run 110/220V
which I run on 220v. It costs
more at this time than the PSI 2000BCF at this time. I don't know
about Jet DC's but imagine they
are well made and would likely give good service. I like my DC2V2 with
fabric bags (which I plan
adding a canister to) but would have been much better off buying the
DC2000 for 220v in the beginning.
Try to figure out some way to run 220v to your unit, you won't be
sorry you did.
