I am have so much trouble with my Delta AP400 not collecting below 30 microns that I decided that it would be best to replace it.
I am considering the Delta 50 -760 , Grizzly G1029, and the PSI DC200B. Wood Magazine rated these very highly. I was surprised that the Harbor Freight unit did not perform well in the flow tests. I want the filter at 1 micron level.

Any comments on these machines would be appreciated.

I have the delta model that u are looking at…its a great collector for the money…I can’t speak to the grizz…but the delta has served me well and pulls all the dust from all my equip…the only tool that I can’t atest to is a big drum sander. works great onmy 8 in jointer, 15 in planer, cabinet TS and router table.
