I have a chance to pick up a Jet 1100 cfm (1 1/2hp) for $300.
The unit is about 8 to 10 years old.
I don't know anything else about it....I also don't know what to ask about it.
He was asking $400. but I offered him $300. and he said OK. I told him I'd let him know tomorrow by noontime.

What do you think???

I would keep looking. I found a 3 hp on Craig's List for $180. You can buy a brand new 2hp grizzly for $325!! Let him know that a new one with 1/2 more horses goes for that. Otherwise I would let it go.

Canister filter or bags?

Dick, if it's that old it may have the 30 micron bags, which are just about useless for containing dust. If true, replacement 1 micron would be well over $100, making that a much less attractive unit. I think I'd pass at that price.

This Harbor Freight dust collector gets pretty good reviews and is on sale right now.

Where are you located. I know a woman who is selling the exact same vac for $250. She is located in Norton Ohio. If you haven't already bought the one for $300 get back to me and I can send you pics and info.

I recently switched from bag to cannister, and I'm very glad I did. See the Stumpy Nubs series on dust collection on YouTube and you'll want a cannister as well. I got this 880 CFM one and love it:

It's backordered at the moment, but I found one by looking around. I think it's an excellent value for money for a small shop.
