Excellent collector for a small shopJun 30, 2000
I bought a Jet DC-650 from Tool Crib in December 99 and I couldn't be more pleased with it's performance. My shop co-exists with the family automobile in a two car garage. The collector is attached to one machine at a time with a 10ft flex hose; in this mode of use, it has all the power that's needed. Before I got this machine, I'd do almost anything to avoid using my thickness planer - cleaning up the mess often took longer than than the planing! And to a lesser degree, the same could be said about my jointer. Without a controlled sampling, I'd estimate that the collector easily captures better than 99.5% of the dust from these machines. Dust collection from my contractors style table saw isn't quite as efficient, but that was expected. I still capture well over 60% of the dust from it. The air is cleaner, the garage is much cleaner, and cleanup time is a fraction of what it once was. I don't fully agree with the notion that bag emptying is a snap; even with improvements to the clamping system, it's still a "pain in the butt" (and I think this comment can probably be generalized to all the Taiwanese made single stage units). This prompted me to add a first stage separator. I use the one built around a 30 gal fiber drum that's sold by Highland Hardware. Now I collect probably 6 times as much material before emptying the drum and bag - and I've devised a method of capturing a 30 gal trash bag inside the first stage drum so emptying it is truly a snap. You don't have to use these machines as they come out of the box; you can put the DC-650 on a larger base that accomodates a first stage separator and a method for holding and transporting the attached flex hose. It's generally agreed that the ultimate dust collector is some configuration of a cyclone, but I don't know where one of these can be found for the money that will equal the mobility and performance of the DC-650. It's very simply an outstanding machine for a very modest price.

 Jet DC-650 Dust CollectorMay 04, 2000
By Clyde Franklin
Although this is on the low end of power (650 CFM) I find that it works well with my all my tools. Once I found adequate adapters for all the different connections on my sanders, shaper, joiner, table saw, etc. I have found when using cheap 4" sewer pipe for overhead delivery of the vacuum and using as little flexible pipe as possible, to keep down the air flow resistance, it has more than sufficient capacity, if running only one tool at a time. I rate this collector 5 stars on the basis of getting a big return for the investment. If you are looking for a great collector for the one-man shop I highly recommend the Jet DC-650.

Jet 650 dust collectorFeb 23, 2000
By J. Webb
I have used this dust collector in my garage/shop for more than a year. It has worked great! I will not, again, go without a dust collector. This one is very mobil and easy to empty and I have had no problems with leaks. I would advise buying another set of bags to filter to .5 micron particles. I have used it on my tablesaw, planer and router table.

You probably want more power.Feb 03, 2001
The Jet DC-650 is a nice dust collector, but you may want a bit more power. I use the unit in a home shop collection system using 40 feet of 4" rigid sewer pipe as ducting and 4" flexible duct connections to the machines. The DC-650 is remarkably quiet, and provides sufficient collection for one machine (one open gate) at a time (even the table saw and jointer). I also have a 24" floor sweep that is sufficiently powered by the DC-650. Keep in mind that the DC-650 requires all of a 15 amp circuit. Buy a more powerful unit if you can, but make sure that you have a dedicated circuit with enough amperage to run it.

The perfect small shop dust collectorJul 28, 2000
By Michael McCarthy
"Mac"
How did I go so long without one of these? I used to coat my garage shop in sawdust untill I got the Jet dust collector. Now it is much cleaner. Assembly took under 30 minutes. Converted over to 230V in minutes, which is something I have done to all of my tools that allow it. It is quieter than I thought it would be and is more than adequate for attaching single machines to. Bag changes are fairly easy. Get the sweeping attachments and a second stage/trash barrel adapter and you'll put your shop vac in storage.
