Worth the Money! Clean Your Work Shop! Reviews DELTA 50-760 1.5HP 1,200 CFM Vertical Bag Dust Collector

I received my DELTA 50-760 dust collector a few weeks ago. While the box was a little banged up, the contents were in perfect condition. Setup was easy and only took a half hour, plugged it in and worked great, lots of suction and works as stated in the ad.

I went for the DELTA 50-760 because I liked the price and the filtering to one micron. My first shipment from amazon came damaged so I packed it up and sent it back. No hassles at all from amazon. When I got the second one two days later, it came in perfect condition, so if yours is damaged RETURN it.

• Standard 1 micron filtration bag keeps your shop safer and cleaner
• Snap-in bag rings are faster, easier and eliminate the need for cam-over-lock style clamps
• Powerful TEFC induction motor for long-lasting, smooth performance with protection from damaging dust
• 6 mil plastic chip collection bag shows you when the bag needs emptying
• Sturdy steel base with four easy-gliding wheels for moving from machine to machine or for storing out of the way;

The Delta 50-760 is everything the manufacture claims. I've used it primarily at my woodturning lathe. Dust in the air has been eliminated. Heavier chips still land on the floor, but not as many, so cleanup is much easier. The machine was packaged exceptionally well.

I am extremely impressed with suction power of this 1.5 horse-power unit, maybe it's the model's unique design (i.e., hose free connection between the intake, impeller and bag) but it seems more powerful than the 2 and even 3 horsepower units I've seen first hand in friend's workshops.

I currently have it attached to a collection hood on my lathe, and when in operation, it snatches every bit of dust and wood chip while turning even large pieces. The piles of sawdust that use to accumulate with my previous 1/2 horse power collector are gone for good.

This DELTA 50-760 1.5HP 1,200 CFM Vertical Bag Dust Collector has been a godsend because two months ago I collapsed with congestion in my lungs and nasal passages. I had been wearing one of these cloth masks and sorry, it doesn't cut the mustard. That cedarwood dust goes right through those things. Now with my dust collector on and one of these professional painter filter masks, I am able finally to get back to some serious turning.

Delta makes a good product in my opinion and Amazon's price was better than other online places I looked. It has a 1 micron filter bag, other in this price range are 5 to 30 microns, to keep the shop air nice and clean. Shipping was fast as always from Amazon. I would recommend to anyone that wants cleaner air in their shop.
