Product Description
This new style dust collector will change the woodworking dust collection marketplace. Most woodworkers are looking for the most efficient dust collection system they can find, and the new JET canister filter dust collector, which filters down to 2 microns, delivers the superior dust collection today's woodworkers demand. The disposable clear plastic dust collection bag allows the user to remove debris directly to a trash can without creating a cloud of dust. The canister filter is cleaned by simply turning a handle on top of the unit that will shake the dust away from the filter material and into the collector bag.

I love the Jet, and I love the JDS Dust Force Also
By Bob Feeser
Looks like Jet took dust collection to the next level, but I would like to clear a couple of things up. I have the JDS Dust Force, which moves 1250 CFM of air. It is built like a tank and is less expensive. Even with the optional 1 micron bag, in addition to the 5 micron bag that comes with it, is less money than the Jet unit. The JDS is built so well, I wonder how they can produce a unit that is so well built, for such a reasonable amount of money. The confusion arises around the bag change when cleaning the unit. The review mentions not having to take the top bag out and beat on it. Not so: All you simply have to do is pat it down, while it is still mounted, and all of the fine stuff that is stuck to it, drops directly down into the lower clear plastic bag. After that settles, you remove the bag, and dump it into a trash can with a 32 gallon trash bag liner. Yes it does create some dust going in, but I don't mind that because my Dust collector is located directly underneath a JDS ceiling mounted Air Filtration system. That also moves 750 CFM so any dust immediately is sucked up into the air filter. I also have a 3M charcoal and chemical cartridge mask hanging in front of me, so at times like this when dust is running amuck, I simply pull the top strap over my head for complete dust protection. Which brings me to the next subject. In the book, "Controlling Dust in the Shop" (highly recommended) the author states that the small particles of one micron or less are what you need to be concerned about. They are the ones that get lodged into your lungs. He mentions that even air filtration systems are a source of large amounts of small particles getting blown into the shop air. The ultimate is a cyclone air filtration system, with an exhaust to the outside, but who can afford three to ten times the price of this Jet unit. So the next best thing is to get a unit like this Jet, or the JDS, , the super inexpensive Woodstock collection separator, available here at Amazon, that sits on top of a 32 gallon trash can. That picks up all of the big stuff, leaving only the fine powder to go onto the Jet collector. That has an added advantage in preventing chunks of wood, or even worse yet, a screw-piece of metal from dancing off of the internal fan blade. Sparks in dust are not an ideal situation. Additionally it makes the whole clean out problem almost non existent. The big chunks are easy to slide out of the metal 32 gallon trash can, and that is not the material that has the fine dust in it. Another point is that the large amount of surface area that these large dust collectors have, saves you a lot of aggravation when planing wood. I used to use a Sears 6HP shop vac in combination with the Woodstock unit. The problem is that the fine powder that was making its way into the sears shop vac, would quickly bury the small filter in powder. (Even though it was Sears largest 6HP unit.) That would stop a sufficient amount of air flow which would jam up my planer. A major problem until I got the dust collector. The Jet and JDS dust collectors have some 40 plus square feet of surface area to absorb fine powder, instead of inches like the shop vac. So these systems are highly recommended. The one thing that I found, was that these portable systems are not designed to give you the same amount of pressure you would need for a whole shop system. You know the kind of results you would need to have a complete metal piped ductwork system, with each tool hooked up to a station. These units are portable, and designed to be used on one or two machines. In addition to the JDS Dust Collector, which is ideal for planing and other heavy dust creating procedures, I recently acquired a 5HP shop vac that draws a powerful amount of air, and has an optional HEPA filter which traps 99.97% of particles down to .3 microns, (yes point three, instead of a whole 1 or 5) This is ideal for those tools that don't create a ton of dust, like router stations. Combining that with an emergency cut off switch, with two outlets, gives me the convenience of walking up to the router, hitting one button, getting both the shop vac, and the router go on at the same time, and one quick touch on the off flap, and it is back off again. I tuck the vac under the router table, so it doesn't get in the way, and no vac hose to trip over running across the floor. At a recent local sale, I picked up a couple of them. Between the super quiet vac model, and the quiet router, sometimes I go over and turn it on just to smile. It is that ideal for the purpose. So get the Jet dust collector, (or the JDS Dust Force, check it out) and get the Woodstock International Collection separator, a ceiling mounted air filtration system, and most importantly a 3M paint spray respirator, because none of these systems really get the job done. The job is avoiding getting the super fine particles into your lungs. What I really wanted to share with you is the awareness of what a problem super fine particles are. I know these dust collectors and filtration systems, have a tendency of creating a false sense of security. They are great, and serve a much needed task. Notice when you first walk into the shop in the morning, turn on the dust collector, or air filtration unit, then smell the air. You can smell the wood powder as it pours out into the air. That smell is the small micron or less particles being sent out into the air. Get a mask, and during the warm times, install a fan in a window, with a fresh air source coming from an across the room opening. Take care of your lungs, hope this helps.

State of The Art Dust Collector at a Great Price
By John R. Bachorik
Ordered this DC-1100CK Dust Collector System through Amazon.com. Took only 8 days to arrive from date of order. The system was delivered by UPS Ground. There were two large separate boxes that were unloaded and left by my garage door. All items were extremely well packaged and there were no damaged parts. Assembly of the entire unit took about 1 1/2 hours with no interruptions. The assembly instructions provided by Jet are excellent. The canister filter system is state-of-the-art all the way. Simply amazing at how efficient this system is. Absolutely no dust whatsover escapes from my table saw, band saw or radial arm saw when attached to the DC-1100CK system. Clear plastic collection bags are a great plus as you know when they need to be emptied or replaced. Jet even included 4 extra bags with the shipment!!! I did not have any of the leaks at the entrance port of the unit that other reviewers have noted in the past. I imagine that Jet has corrected the problem at the factory. My unit was perfect in every way. Very high quality components and great paint finish. This unit provides a huge amount of suction and is very quiet in operation. The large, high grade casters on the base of the unit make it very easy to move around my shop from tool to tool. If you are considering a dust collection system for your shop, this is definitely the one to get!!!!! Jet has a real winner here!!!! Cudos to them for a job extremely well done!!!

Great value in dust collection
By A Customer
Assembly took about 1.5 hours and went together pretty easy, some of the directions are for the non-canister version but are easily skipped. Getting the canister mounted perfectly so there is no sawdust leak is somewhat hard, I ended up getting it as close as possible and using foil tape to finish it. The joint where the 5" inlet for the hose hookup from the blower unit attaches to the filter and collection assembly also leaks. Some caulk and more foil tape closed that off as well. After those two fixes the unit works very well, moves a great deal of air, and is quieter then my old shop vac. Putting the collection bags in and taking them out is very fast and easy. The bag is folded over a round and somewhat springy hoop that is then put into the collection collar and is completely sealed by pulling down on the bag. Took a couple try's the first time to get used to it but is now easy. No leaks have been noticed yet around the bag. I haven't filled the bag yet so I don't know what removal of a full bag is like yet, but after playing around with the collar to get used to it I don't foresee any problems.
After being somewhat disappointed with the performance of the 4" hose and doing some research online I removed the 6" to dual 4" port adapter on the blower hosing and attached a 10' long 6" hose directly to it. This runs to a shop made replacement door on the table saw to get a 6" port on the saw instead of the standard 4". This made an unbelievable improvement in the collection from the table saw. Virtually no dust collects inside the saw cabinet and only a little comes off the top of the blade. I think an over arm guard with a collector pickup would eliminate that as well resulting in almost 100% pickup. With a couple y adapters and blast gates I made two more runs, one to a miter saw and one to the workbench. The run to the miter saw is then split with another y with one branch going to a 4" port cut under the saw and one to the built in 1.5" port on the upper arm. This picks up probably 80-85% or so of the dust. The run to the bench is for the router and hand held sanders and picks up virtually all the dust from those. These are the only tools I have hooked up and cannot comment on collection from any others, but I don't expect any problems as long as the hose and ductwork is laid out correctly.
Overall I am happy with the purchase and would make the same decision again, the only disappointment was with the leaks around the filter and hose hookup assembly mentioned earlier. This was not a deal breaker however due to the easy nature of the fix. The decision to not go with a cyclone unit was based on cost and mobility. This was less then half the price of an equivalent cyclone unit with similar performance and filtering and can be moved around to different areas, a requirement in my garage shop. If needed I believe this unit has enough power to add a separator, but I won't have time to try that for quite some time.
