I started with the delta 1.5 hp dust collector. It is not a very good unit. Bag gets clogged quickly, and it lets the fine dust through. I ended up buying a 5 hp cyclone from Clear Vue. Makes a very big difference. Much more volume, and much better filtration. If you have asthma, you just about have to use a cyclone. That fine dust is extremely damaging to the lungs over a period of time, it can cause COPD. The really fine dust gets past the bronchial tubes and settles deep inside the lung tissues.
