Well HF has their 2HP DC on sale for 199.99 this month and the wife scored me a few 25% coupons for a purchase price of 149.99. :thumbsup:
Setup as everyone says is pretty easy, takes about 1.5-2 hours and the 'instructions' are only a guide. Its obvious that the DC has been updated at some point and they didn't update the instruction. Still its fairly quick, simple and painless to setup. The new bolts still contain the Allen keys for some reason however they are not used. You'll need a couple SAE wrenches and perhaps an adjustable as well as a Phillips screwdriver. Additionally, I used a drop of blue Loctite on each bolt though this is something I do with most everything that has any vibration.
I want to add a Thien separator and a Wynn 35A100SBOL spun bond washable filter very soon. I already have a 20G metal can for the separator so just need to buy the ports and hardware and make a MDF top for it. Dust for me is an important issue being in a basement workshop and wish to contain as much as I can. I've also started on a new 2nd workbench which will house an enclosed down draft dust table for sanding and the like.
One question.. Should the DC be on its own dedicated 20Amp circuit?
Thanks
