Yes, but I’ll have more on the drum emptying issue in the next post.

So it may have been as simple as dissatisfaction with having to empty the relatively small drum more frequently than would be required with a full size unit. This would be more of an issue in production shops than in low volume hobby shops. It would be nice to have that true HEPA filtration: I suppose a few extra trips to empty the collection drum is a small price to pay to breath clean air in the shop.

That’s surprising to me. There’s really almost no debris to clean up after I use those machines. I don’t see how the size of the collection drum would matter but maybe the issue is at the connections to the machines.

Interesting that you give it high marks for collecting output from your jointer and planer: I have been searching reviews of this unit and the one weak point that nearly everyone mentions is its poor performance for these two machines. I wonder what the issue is: just a drum that is too small? Phil
