Dust Collector

[David Klug]

Someone in our woodworking club has a 2hp Reliant dust collector for $100. Anybody know anything about this collector? Any yea's or nay's would be appreciated. TIA

I'd go for it. DC's are pretty simple and I'm guessing that one will provide reasonable service. Any 2HP system should work just fine for pushing from machine to machine. If you eventually decide to upgrade, you'll probably be able to get your C-note back.

Reliant was the Woodworker's Warehouse "house" brand (they are OOB) and is pretty much the same machine sold by a whole bunch of folks under various brand names. For a "Ben", it's likely a good deal if it works...just replace the bags with "good ones".

The going rate for used 2hp DC is around $175 for name brands, so I think $100 is a good price.
