Description
Tired of clogged dust bags and loss of suction while running production planers and table saws? The JET JCDC-2 Cyclone Dust Collector extracts wood chips at 1,538 CFM through two-stage cyclonic separation. It requires a dedicated 230V 20-amp single-phase circuit, preventing operation on common 115V convenience branch outlets found in residential hobby shops.
Heavy 14-gauge structural sheet steel constructs the cyclone cone, drum housing, and support frame, coated in durable industrial white powder paint. An industrial TEFC induction motor outputs 2.0 HP, drawing 13 full-load amps on 230V 60Hz single-phase wall circuits at 3,450 RPM. Total dry bare machine weight reaches 216 lbs. Machine floor dimensions measure 47 inches long, 26 inches wide, and 70 inches tall on wheels.
Key Features of JET JCDC-2
Commercial woodshop craftsmen buy JET JCDC-2 cyclones to clear wood chips from table saws, jointers, and planers without canister clogging. Equipment pricing delivers true two-stage cyclonic separation and manual paddle canister cleaning in a mobile rolling package.
- Industrial 2.0 HP TEFC induction motors drive continuous suction across multi-tool woodworking workshops.
- True two-stage cyclone separation drops ninety-five percent of wood chips into drums before air hits filters.
- Certified high-efficiency pleated canister filters capture 99 percent of wood dust particles down to two microns.
- Internal manual cleaning sweep paddles dislodge caked dust into lower canisters with turns of the top crank.
- Heavy 30-gallon lower steel collection drums hold high chip volumes to cut production emptying cycles.
- Quick-action drum lift mechanisms raise and seal barrels against the cyclone cone without separate hand tools.
- Four smooth-rolling caster wheels roll across sawdust-covered shop floors to move between machine tools.
Static Pressure Cyclone Bench Metrics
Airflow bench testing shows this 2.0 HP cyclone moving 1,538 CFM against 4.0 inches of static water-gauge resistance through a six-inch main duct. Maximum static pressure peaks at 11.2 inches water gauge with intake ports closed. Dynamic impeller balance shows under 0.001 inches TIR runout on the motor drive shaft. Current draw settles at 12.4 FLA on 230V single-phase lines under full load. Operating sound meters register 75 dB at six feet without housing panel vibration.
Woodshop Mobility Realities Maintenance
Moving this 216 lb cyclone between machines takes one worker pushing the tubular steel frame handle over concrete slabs. Emptying the 30-gallon drum takes one worker rolling the wheeled barrel out to scrap dumpsters. Do not buy this machine for hot metal grinding sparks, concrete silica extraction, or wet plumbing slurries.
- Empty the 30-gallon lower steel drum before wood chips rise into the cyclone separation cone.
- Turn the top canister filter cleaning crank handle three full rotations after each sanding run.
- Inspect the drum rim rubber compression gasket for air leaks once every two months.
