But..I'm a Neader!
HAHHAA well to tell the truth, I've been considering buying a 12" planer. And so, I figured I'd have to by a DC unit at the same time.
But I figured that if the 735 chip collection worked ok, then I might consider that product since it woud save me the price of the DC unit. But I needed to know if it really worked, and I hadn't considered that the dust gets through the cloth.
THAT is why I asked the question ;^)
