I do it with 3/4, but I'm not selling dust collectors.

Put the can on wheels. Better yet, buy the JET collector on a can at
Klingspor or some other place.

I will be doing lots of dados using my TS, so lots of waste. I have a
small shop. I'd like to use one of the in-line trash can hook-ups with a
DC. The hose run from the saw to the can to the DC will be no more than
10
feet; I could even put both the can and DC next to the TS.

What I'd like to know is if this setup can be done successuly using a 1 HP
DC? 1.5HP? A friendly tech guy at Penn State said 2HP -- and I think he
does believe that versus trying to make a sale.

I've got a 1.2HP 650 or 750 TWC unit and it is adequate for TS, jointer, router
table pickup. Once I hooked up a trash can separator (a necessary item, in my
case) efficiency dropped a bit, but the DC still picks up fairly well. I'm
sure it would be cool to have a unit that could suck the chrome off a bumper,
but my little unit is: little, cheap, and reasonably quiet. All three
characteristics I appreciate. I have a 10' hose to the can, and a 20' hose to
the equipment.

I'd appreciate hearing from people who have this trash can setup using
whatever lower-end HP DC -- whether or not it works. Thanks.

(BTW, I see that Penn State is selling its 2HP for only $20 more than its
1.5HP, though w/ the 1.5 you get 50' of hose -- which I don't need. They
even say that the 2HP is a little quieter. If only I could find the room.)

PS: You may say that in a small shop how can there be room for the can?
Good point. In fact, a 1.5HP DC would probably be smaller than a 1HP DC +
can -- and the 1.5 has more capacity. It's a question of reducing the mess
when emptying the chips/dust -- a standard trade-off.

It works with my 1.5 HP Jet 1100, and I'm using 4 inch flex and
DWV about 35 feet from the can and collector. And dadoes, not being
through-cuts, won't spit much sawdust at you. Tom

I've been using a little Jet DC (3/4 hp I think) with a shop-made trash can
chip collector. It's plumbed with 4" PVC pipe to serve a contractor saw and
has an additional port where I hook my planer when I need it--the total run
is about 20 ft.. It has worked fine for the past 5 years. I have a
grounding wire down the inside of the PVC pipe that sometimes collects big
shavings from the planer and chokes, but other than that it works fine.
More suctation from a bigger DC is always nice, but this one serves my
needs.

I have the 1HP jet unit that is made to sit on a 35Gal can (you
supply) which I have on wheels. It has a canister type final filter.
Uses less floor space than a DC AND a trashcan separator. With 4"
hose, works very well for all my tools, including a very messy planer
that creates cubic feet of waste in short order.
It's quiet (actually quieter than my saw running at idle). Only beef
is having to clean canister every few days when doing a lot of fine
dust.
I'm not affiliated with any tool co. or distributor, just a happy
consumer.

Based on a post I read here I picked up a H.F. 1 h.p. about 6 months ago.You
know the one,plastic wheels, portable etc...
It was on sale for $83.00.
The original poster mentioned removing the plastic screens on the inlet and
discharge side.
I fabbedup 55 gallon drums for a separator and run it with the table saw
planer,jointer with no problem.
Beats a shop vac hands down.
The down side is the 3" neck on the bag but the drums get most of the stuff.
