Hi-
I am strictly a hobby shop wood worker. I have a few different tools that I think would work much cleaner if I were to hook up a dust collector (table saw, router table, random orbit sander...) I do not ever foresee the need to have two machines working simultaneously, so I do not need THAT much power from a unit.
I see at Lowes they have a 3/4 HP machine capable of about 450 CFM for $99, It is made by a company I'd never heard of "GMC" Global Machinery Company.
There is another, a Delta 1 HP capable of 650 CFM, but it costs a bit more at about $170.
Aside form the units "sucking" capacity, I am looking for something quiet. Nothing seems to come with a decibel rating, so I was wondering if there was such a rating for these machines?
Anybody have any opinions to share? I appreciate any advice.
John
