    What did I get myself into

    I bought this at an auction today, anyone know what is worth.424-1.jpg Has a 30hp motor, 90ft of ducting.
    2006 JFK MOD JA100 CYCLONE W/30HP MOTOR

    Any idea of what it is worth would be appreciated.

    I think its quite a bit of overkill for my operation, but it was pretty and cost $1200.00 so I took a chance.

    Keep a close eye on your pets. And small children.

    Just out of curiosity, what kind of power is required to drive a 30HP motor? 480V 3PH?

    I have noticed that used big cyclones are cheaper than new 3-5hp cyclones...

    DOes a cyclone that larger fall under the category of industrial dust collection, such that proper grounding requirements must be adhered to and subject to inspection?

    I'd consider the price an absolute steal! It appears in really nice condition also.

    Are you going to use it as a mobile unit and pull it around the shop from machine to machine??

    He would not need to move it from machine to machine. Duct work would not be required in a one-man shop!

    And don't worry about any neighbors complaining about the noise. You won't be able to hear them talk.

    Open the windows and turn it on, all the dust will be sucked out of the shop in a few seconds. Air cleaner, shop vac, and dust collector in one!
