Amazon.com Review
A small footprint and big power - that's what you get with this Delta dust collector. It takes up so little room because its volume is vertical, not horizontal. Standing 83 inches tall, it takes up just about 4-1/2 square feet of floorspace, but its 3,450 rpm motor moves a maximum of 1,200 cubic feet of air per minute.

The small footprint is valuable in the home workshop, where space is often at a premium, but it's beneficial, too, because this machine is on rugged casters, and its size lets you move it wherever you need it in your shop, from the jointer to the planer to the saw to the sander. If you're fortunate enough to have a ducting system and blast gates in place, this machine stows easily in a corner and does all the work from there. It's rated at 88 decibels, but it's quite a bit more tolerable than a shop vacuum, we think.

Assembly is minimal; expect about 45 minutes and a little frustration if you're going it alone. The only tricky part, as with any dust collector assembly, is mounting the plastic collection bag. There are two different rings to choose from; use what works for you. The upper bag filters down to 1 micron, which is a millionth of a meter, keeping the air and your lungs clear of dangerous contaminants. The collection bag is made of tough, 6-mil clear plastic, and we've really come around on the plastic bags from not liking them to, well, thinking they're a good idea. Exhaust goes through the filter bag, not the collection bag, so no air (or debris) escapes, and you can easily see when the bag needs emptying without waiting for performance to falter.

There's a nice option for installation, too, that we haven't seen on other models: You can install the blower housing with the outlet ports facing up or down, depending on your ducting system and shop needs. And yes, you can use both ports at once - it's that powerful.

We think this is a great investment for the home workshop or small professional shop, and your lungs are definitely worth it.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

5 out of 5 stars Great deal on a great machine   November 5, 2008
Scott L. Miller
This DC is great machine for a small shop. Setup was easier then I expected. It does take an extra set of hands to setup. I have used it with my planer and bandsaw and what a difference. I should have done this sooner.

The only negative is the specs say the machine runs on 110 or 220. What they do not tell you is to run on 220 you have to purchase a new switch for around $32. Not a big deal BUT it would have been nice to know so I could have had the switch here when the machine arrived.



4 out of 5 stars Delta 50-760 Dust Collector   October 3, 2008
Stephen Wetzel (Ramsey, IN United States)
Seems to be a very good product. Setup was not that hard but would recommend having a helper as it is a heavy piece of equipment. I am anxious to cut some MDF now that the dust storm will be contained. From using it on other woods I can only wish I had bought it sooner.


4 out of 5 stars Better then expected   September 2, 2008
Johnathon C. Fehr
I was skeptical when I ordered this dust collector because of some of the reviews I read with regards to the difficulty of assembly. I decided to take advantage of a good price on Amazon and take my chances. I was pleasantly surprised when after about 20 minutes I had the whole thing assembled and working. I found the cloth lined ring that is used for the plastic and filter bags very easy to install. It did not take 2 people to assemble it, I did it without any help. As far as the dust collector goes I have only had it a short time but am very please with it so far. As many people have written, I can't believe I waited this long to get one. The power of the unit is very good and is much quieter than my shop vac. I don't feel the need to wear headphones when using it. I would recommend this product.


5 out of 5 stars Works great, but needs 20 amp circuit   July 27, 2008
KJN (Novi, Mi.)
Powerful dust collector, 1 micron bag is great. Unit is pretty tall, barely fits in my 7' tall basement shop. Would not start up on 15 amp circuit, kept kicking the breaker out, even when no other equipment was running. Runs great on 20 amp circuit though, together with other 1 hp or 2 hp equipment.
