I just purchased a Jet AFS 1000B dust collector and Triton powered respirator. Its not too late to cancel the order, so I was wondering if anyone has a negative opinion of these devices? I'd also like to hear from those with positive experiences.

I've got the Jet air cleaner, and it's great. It really cleans up all the airborne dust the dust collector and shopvacs miss. I love the remote and the timer, I just fire it up and let it turn itself off 4 or 8 hours later.

It isn't a primary dust collector, so you still need one of those, but it really keeps the air clean even in my big garage. It's heavy, make sure you hang it securely. The fan really can move the air (and the unit itself) on high speed.

I picked mine up (unused, still shrink wrapped) off of craigslist, and I love it.

Hi Doug

This is just a bit off the point but I like the pink bike


I like it may I suggest you hand it with angle iron the same stuff you have your garage door motor hanging from with a bit of rubber to stop the noise from going upstairs ..

I sure like your pink bike with the little bell on it...I bet that makes it easy getting around the shop....plus with a tool holder on top of that ..

You know if you had a feather up yours and I had your big red machine we both would be happy I'm still looking for one and maybe one day I will find one at the right price with all the extra items like yours...did you Note Ed got one off ebay (Craftsman type) I did find a company in CA. that makes one like the Craftsman type for about 120.oo bucks new in the box...it's almost the same but it can take on biggger stock.

Just as a side note can you POST one of the items you make with the Red machine. PLEASE.

I have made what is set forth below part of another post in the Router table thread because it was relevant to what I was discussing.

I hope no one will regard this as double posting, I thought I should put it here as well, because of the topic of the thread

I am really interested in economical (sp)and effective dust collection at a hobby level (I have had lung surgery) I suggest that if your are -- take a look at the J. Phil Thien shop built cyclone.

He somewhat encourages donations but not forcefully so.
Since I am not yet authorized to post an url. Google "the thien cylcone"

I have no connection with Thien, just impressed at apparant effectiveness at little cost.

Hi, I have found that the two best ways to control dust whe using a router is by attaching a vaccum cleaner with a hose adapter. These are sold in th uk by axminster tools and a trend airsheild. With my dewalt plunge routers these really work a treat.
