Are Delta Dust Collectors bad? Don't see much talk about them. Anyone have experience with them?
I see a lot of people default to the HF ones. So I'm trying to decide if I should work with my ShopVac and make it work as a newbie or upgrade to a dust collector.
Came across a page where dude did tests on a few dust collectors.
I'm a believer in actual data. Tests show advertised specs are inflated. matter-replicator's findings showed HF 1HP to be .43HP and the HF 2HP to be .8HP.
Here are my thoughts and I hope you guys don't mind giving me some input.
I did purchase the Delta 50-732T2 because it was more than half off and that just seemed like a good deal. Now just thinking it through, seeing if I should keep it, go the HF route if the performance and value is better or just stick to my Shop Vac.

- Impeller would be upgraded.
- Upgrade the electric in the garage.
- 750 CFM - Advertised (I'm hoping Delta would be more true about their numbers.)
- Steel Impeller
- Looks like the Blower Housing Assembly is one piece. (Limits configuration.)
