It is very good for a small shop with a short hose from this unit to your tool. I installed overhead hoses with a blast gate at each station- one 4" and one 2 1/2" station. But realistically it just isn't large enough and have enough CFM's to pull back the overhead 15' and then into the connection at the unit which is on the bottom side of this machine. If you are going to have a 10' - 15' run laying on your floor to one machine you will be fine but if you expect something more keep looking. 2) Submitted by Dave Martin, from Atascocita, TX on 9/14/2009

Poor design, woefully underpowered. Chips from jointers, planers, etc cause this unit to clog in just a few seconds making it useless for anything but dust. It can be ok for a hybrid saw if you plug all the air gaps in the saw first. Otherwise, it's probably good for handheld sanders.
