I second the opinion on the Jet 1200 cartridge. It sucks great. It is
quiet enough. I don't see any dust escaping. No cloth bags to beat causing
dust to fly everywhere. And it's easy to empty. With a Lee Valley garbage
can cyclone, it's even easier to get the dust out to the curb.

I have a jet DC1200 with cartridge filter. I elected to go this route
rather than the much more expensive cyclone. Its put together very well.
I
opted for 2 hp as a safety factor, knowing it would probably be overkill.
Its always better to have a little too much instead of coming up short in
this area, as far as I am concerned. Of course, I already had 220volt
which
made decision much easier. I didn't see any comparison between Jet and
Delta, because of the cannister filter option.

As an experiment, I initially hooked it up with 6" metal flex hose to a
homemade 6" duct on my table saw, then compared it to a 4" connection.
Holy
Cow what a difference that made. With the 6" hose, it allowed the blower
to
move into its optimum operating region and it was a virtual hurricane. It
also brought out dust leaks all over the place.

By the way, my expectations were set correctly by reading a lot before
making this purchase. Unless your tools are set up correctly for dust
collection, any brand/size collector is not going to do much. I bought
the
collector, fully expecting to have to enhance/modify the dust collection
on
any tool I connected. I'm in the process of attacking the blade guard
collection on my Jet table saw.

Hi,

I'm in the market for a dust collection system for my garage/workshop.
I
have done some comparative shopping, and I have narrowed it down to
either
Delta or Jet. I'm leaning more towards Jet's, but I just don't know.
If
you have either of these brands, please reply back and let me know what
you
think about it. I just don't trust the reviews on Amazon!

Thanks
