Would a 2400W transformer be adequate?

Thanks for the info. I was hoping it would run at close to the same speed and draw half the amperage.

Are the motors of tools like the Dewalt 7491 jobsite table saw (US) and the Dewalt 7492 (Euro version) identical? Do these tools ship from the factory with a motor that can run on either 240V 50hz...

I thought it was clear I'm trying to find the sweet spot in price, performance, and portability, cobbling the system together myself, rather than just forking over the dough for an Oneida Mini...

What HP blower do you have attached to it? And do you have the standard-size SDD or the Extra Large SDD?

I believe it. I have one of the tiny Oneida cyclones, and it's keeping the shopvac filter clean, and I have accidentally sucked up a small rag that went into the drum, not into the vacuum.

Not in the small portable price range. Only the big ones that are 7ft or 8ft tall.



I'm not sure what the smell is. Could be that spending $200 on a self-cleaning canister filter is better...

I use a little Oneida dust deputy with my shop vac and it does work great. The shopvac's filter stays clean. I'm just not sure of the cost-benefits of the cyclone for a system that has a...

Your 3HP is a lot more powerful than the 1.5HP portable unit I'm contemplating, so you might not notice what could be a big deal for an 850CFM unit. Also, the fine dust has to go somewhere, since I...

I've been shopping for a single-tool, short-hose, small footprint, ultra-portable, dust-collection solution. I was thinking of putting together a small tower configuration on a shop-built rolling...

I have been trying to match the trim around a couple of doors in my 1940s house. The profile matches very closely what some websites are calling Standard #445 (drawing attached) except that in my...

I am hoping to match the door trim in our house. I have a little 1/2" spindle shaper from the 1930s. Are there companies that will create a spindle cutterhead with a profile that matches a...

Thanks, I'll see if I can find it. A lot of what comes up when searching the web for comparisons is almost 10 years old, and many of the models are no longer available.

Penn State Industries. On your second question, I think they're just using the same field in the database (Collector Footprint) to track the unit's dimensions. It says 15" x 9" for the fan only, so...

Are these performance-curves typically available for 2HP systems too, or just for high-end systems?

I don't understand why a full system with a 1-micron filter bag costs less than a motor/blower alone, from the same vendor. The only differences I can detect in their motor specifications is that...

Thanks for the replies. I do wear a mask rated for lead paint removal. Bill Pentz in one of his articles mentioned a mask as an inexpensive stop-gap solution if a 5HP blower and a goliath cyclone...

My (very) belated thanks for these suggestions. I did not get an email notice that the question had received supplies. Will have to check my settings.

I have a very small garage woodshop and never use more than one tool simultaneously. Currently using shop-vac with Oneida's mini dust deputy, but am thinking of upgrading to their Super Dust Deputy,...

I have an old spindle shaper with wing-cutters, which I'm using instead of a router table. I've built a little coping sled, to cut tongue-and-groove on the end-grain. As a test, I ran a piece of...

I have a vintage Walker Turner shaper, a small one. The slot is 1/2 wide by 1/8 deep. I'm thinking about cannibalizing the miter gauge of an old Sears Companion saw, and getting a local machine...
