Anyone have this DC? I can’t find any reviews. Seems like a good price for 2800 CFM -- Ken |

I do, however I use it just for the motor/impeller in a DIY cyclone setup. As far as I’m concerned, it performs well for what I use it for. I previously used a motor from a Jet DC1100 and compared to that, there’s a LOT more suction. I’ve measured around 8500 ft/min (~1700cfm) at the end of a 10 ft length of 6” flex, compared to about 5000 ft/min (~1000cfm) with the Jet. That was with a cheapie handheld anemometer, so I’m not sure how accurate it is, but the relative measurements seem useful. From a qualitative sense, the suction is enough to cause the 6” flex to contract. I’ve got some 6” flex (about a 8” length) between the bottom of the cyclone and the collection bin; even with the bin 1/2 full, it still lifts off the ground an inch or two from the flex contracting. I plan on installing some fixed ducts, just haven’t gotten around to it yet. Not really sure how I feel about it in its stock configuration though – those 30 micron bags are asking for trouble. At the very least, I’d slap some 1 micron bags on and use a pre-separator, but you’d be much better off getting dual canisters. |

Thanks that’s encouraging. I don’t care much about the filtering as the DC will be in a separate room. -- Ken |
