The W1868 Cyclone Dust Collector marries the superior filtration efficiency of a 2-stage cyclone system with the maneuverability and convenience of a single-stage dust collector, making it an ideal choice for workshops that prioritize both cleanliness and flexibility. This unit boasts an impressive 1023 CFM airflow capacity and up to 10.9" of static pressure, creating a powerful vortex that effectively separates heavy wood chips and large dust particles into a 20-gallon steel drum, lined with a plastic bag for easy disposal.
Fine dust particles that escape the initial collection phase are then captured by a canister filter as they move past the 13" aluminum impeller. These particles are collected in a separate plastic bag, ensuring that the air returned to the shop is clean and free of harmful particulates. The filter's spun-bond polyester material captures 99.9% of particles down to 1 micron in size, with pleats designed to maximize the filter's surface area, thereby enhancing airflow and overall efficiency.
Maintenance of the filter is streamlined with a manual filter cleaning handle, which when turned, activates paddle brushes that clear away the dust build-up on the pleats. This feature helps maintain high CFM levels and prolongs the filter's lifespan. Additionally, the collection drum's quick-release handle simplifies the process of waste disposal, making it easier to maintain a clean workshop.
The W1868 is loaded with user-friendly features that cater to the needs of the modern woodworker. These include pleated filters with a high surface area for improved airflow, mechanical paddles for effective dust cake removal, remotely controlled magnetic switches for convenience, and easy lid lifting levers for quick drum emptying. The compact design of the dust collector, coupled with its post-2021 heavy-gauge clear plastic adapter for connecting three 4" lines simultaneously, enhances its versatility and ease of use. This adapter not only facilitates the connection of multiple machines but also aids in the quick identification and resolution of any clogs, ensuring uninterrupted operation.
Overall, the W1868 Cyclone Dust Collector is designed for workshops that demand high-performance dust collection without sacrificing space or mobility. Its combination of powerful cyclone filtration, user-friendly maintenance features, and compact, portable design make it a valuable addition to any woodworking shop.
