A couple of weeks ago I received my Felder RL125. My Jet DC-1100 just does not keep up with any of the functions on my MiniMax 300 Smart or MM16 bandsaw. So I made a big jump.
The RL 125, which is 5.5 HP, is AMAZING. Not one bit of dust anywhere. I did, however, replace the 125mm inlet with a 6" bellmouth from Air Handling along with 6" urathane hose, quick disconnects, and new reducers for all functions (saw, shaper, jointer, planer, morticer, and bandsaw). I also installed the silencer which can be seen on top of the machine
Due the the test methods used in Germany, the specs for the RL 125 do not look impressive at first to most woodworkers, including me, in the US. Once I understood what the tests involved I realized that my DC-1100 would be much less than 400 CFM by German standards. I now use the DC-1100 for my router table only.
I also have included photos of a 6" to 120mm reducer with the quick disconnect.
I want to add that Felder was great to work with and the machine arrived exactly when they promised. Also, Air Handling is one the best suppliers that I have ever dealt with. I recomend both companys highly.
