Anyone have a JDS Dust-Force dust collector?

Aug 12, 2005 4 Replies

It's time to upgrade from the ol' Shop-Vac, and I'm purely a hobbyist. I'd love an Oneida, but the budget just doesn't have an Onieda in it.



I know the JDS Dust-force is an electrical pig, pulling 16 amps at start-up on 110v. I've got 20-amp outlets, so I'm not terribly worried about that. (Besides, all my big iron is on 220v)



The specs on it are excellent:



1.5 hp
77 db
12" static pressure
1250 CFM
99+% at 1 micron

Does anyone have any experience with one yet?



Thanks in advance.



No input on what you are looking at, but here is some good info for dust collection.

I have one and, apart from aparently being rolled end-over-end during transit, it works very well. I've mostly used it in a non-standard way so far. I'm demoing some interior and I have the JDS in the garage with 50' of cheap-o 4" hose run into the house to collect dust from the sawzall, circular saw, router, etc. and it works really well. My garage is currently wired with 15A breakers and I don't think it's tripped one yet (I was worried about that happening but so far, so good). HTH
