Your cart is empty.This wall mounted Dust Collector is designed to capture dust right at the source, eliminating the reduced efficiency of a duct system. With 537 CFM capacity, it will handle just about any hungry woodworking machine, and with no complicated duct system, static pressure loss is minimal. A simple wall mounted bracket and locking screw system also ensures you'll be safely up and running in no time!

I was very hesitate purchasing this item. Was not sure if it would work for what I needed AWESOME. Kept up with my 13in planner and keeps up with my table saws with minimal dust left behind. I was using my 6hp shop vac and a bucket. Get one of these you won't be disappointed it's works amazing. 6 stars if it could

I am so happy to have a dust collector which doesn't take up much shop space, but does the job superbly! i have mine connected by 4" air hose and blast gates to a bandsaw, a thickness planer, a router table, and a jointer. with no more than one blast gate open at a time, this machine keeps all my power tools clear. one criticism: the dust collection bad attachment system is not great. it's hard to attach securely, as the little raised bit on the collector's dust-out port is not high enough to get a good grip. i find it much easier to attach and use if I have support for the nearly rigid collection bag, so it sits more-or-less in place as i fiddle with the attachment clamp to get a secure attachment. oh! the noise level of this collector is very modest. unless the tool i'm using is very noisy (e.g. the planer) I don't even need ear protection (e.g., with the router).

The Shop Fox wall dust collector keeps my garage free of sanding dust when I do woodworking projects in the garage. It is powerful enough that it can pull the sawdust from across the room. The dust collection bag is big enough that I have not had to empty it yet. I think I will find it a bit of a hassle to remove and reinstall the bag to the collector as I had a bit of difficulty attaching it the first time. I think three hands would make it quick to install. The collector is loud but that is pretty standard for a dust collection system and to be expected.

... in a great way. The W1826 is replacing a WEN 3401 which reports to move 660 CFM, yet the W1826 has a bigger motor and more suction in a head-to-head bench test. The W1826 emits comparable noise levels (about 86dB) to the WEN, but its noise spectrum is wider and more pink-noise-ish than the screech of the WEN, making for a better experience. Very happy with the purchase.

They should have submitted the inside diameter of the exhaust port. Had to take extra time and frustration to shape and insert a fitting into the port to attach the exhaust hose. Actually an insert should have been provided. Other than that bad omission it works OK.

This thing is absolute beast!!! Very heavy, all steel construction, not a flimsy cheap unit at all.I built a 4" dust deputy out of roof flashing to connect to a 55 gallon plastic drum and this thing loves it. Very little saw dust ends up in the bag almost 6 months before I have to empty the drum.Very satisfied with this unit!!!

I did a lot of research before settling on this. It is identical to other brands made in china however this has a better bag which filters smaller particals out of the air. I was at first disapointed on how fast it lost suction when it collected small dust particals. I did more research and decieded to install a second stage trash can cyclone system. I got the one that fits on 30 gallon trash cans. This made all the difference in the world. It maintains strong suction and puts out less dust. Emptying is also easier. It will also protect the impeller from damage as large chips and other debris is trapped in the can. I would only recommend this if you also by a cycle initial stage system.

For a small shop, this product is great! I have it hooked up through a home-made cyclone separator and the suction didn't reduce by much. At first I had a shop vac fixture on the separator so I got a reducer. That all but stopped the suction completely, so I cut it out and put a 4 inch connection. Works perfectly. I was kind of surprised at how quiet this runs. Sounds about the same as a garbage disposal. Got a used one and had to take a dent out of the motor casing... took all of 2 minutes. All in all, I'd say get 4 inch connections only, and use on 1 tool at a time.

Before buying this product, I had used a "Dust Right" dust separator connected to a shop vacuum for a few years. This works far better. I now connect this Dust Collector to my dust separator (to catch the larger sawdust) and from there plug the hose into each saw, router, or sander as needed, all of which are reasonably close together. I worried that stepping down to the 2 1/4 hose that exits my dust separator from the 4 inch hose that comes out of the dust collector would be too much of a suction loss, but it works fine and all of my tools have the smaller dust port anyway. It plainly produces more suction than my 6 HP shop vac did -- there is much less dust visible around the machines after each use than before. The Dust Collector is also quieter than my shop vac system was, which is a relief. I plug the Collector into the same power strip that serves the tools and toggle the power strip on in order to use the tool, which turns on the Dust Collector (which I leave toggled on). After switching off the tool, I toggle off the power strip, which quiets the collector and disconnects the tools from power for safety. I selected this product over the larger, floor-standing units because space is pretty limited in my shop. I also have a Shop Fox dust filter, which I keep running when I am cutting or sanding. Combined, the result is a system that produces much cleaner air -- which is a relief.

I have a 3rd stall in my garage that i flipped half to be a shop. When i was cutting wood, dust would fly absolutely everywhere and i didn't feel like constantly dragging my shop vac everywhere and be pierced by the loud sound.I got this, hung it in the corner of my garage and it is excellent. The sound is a lower hum and while the suction isn't as tight as the shop vac, i cut some wood on my table saw and my miter saw and there wasn't much of anything left. The remaining I swept up with a broom and sucked up with the fox.The product itself is good, but if there were one thing i'd change, it's that cotton bag. It's white for whatever reason and is like a magnet for dirt. They should have made it vinyl instead. Other than that, it's compact, quiet and works well. Just be careful hanging it on the wall since it's heavy.

Installed and in use for two weeks, I am very satisfied with this purchase. It has made a huge difference in the cleanliness of my shop compared to my old "adapt Shop Vac to my power tools" method.The suction is just fine - Not sure what other folks were trying to suck up that caused them to complain, It is after all a DUST collector (does well with chips and shavings too), not a "shop vac".MUCH quieter than my shop vac as well which is a huge thing when one has it running for extended periods.UPDATE: Both my thickness planer and my jointer cause the intake to clog with shavings and render the collector ineffective. This is because there is a safety cage at the inlet that traps larger shavings causing the clog. The cage appears to be there primarily to keep you from putting your hand into the impeller while the machine is running, and secondarily to prevent very large objects from entering and damaging the impeller. Both situations are undesirable and easily preventable.If you never run the collector without a hose attached and never try to use it as anything other than a dust collector attached to a machine (i.e. don't use it as a "shop vac"), you can safely work around the problem (although I'm sure the mfr would not recommend this).The cage is easily snipped away with tin snips. I've never had a problem with it sucking in as many shavings at as high a rate as my machines have been able to produce since doing this.Just remember to NEVER run the collector without a hose attached and NEVER use it for anything other than its designed purpose - collecting dust and shavings from saws, planers, jointers and other machines.
