1,280 CFM, 2.5 micron filtration

Keep your workspace free of dust and debris with the Shop Fox W1685 dust collector from Woodstock International. For use with woodworking machines, this dust collector is equipped with a 1-1/2-horsepower, single-phase motor that operates at 3,450 revolutions per minute (RPM), along with a heavy-duty, 12-inch steel impeller that moves 1,280 cubic feet of air per minute. This machine has a powder-coated finish that resists scratches, chipping, fading, and other wear.

Mobile or stationary

6-inch Inlet with Y-Adapter

The W1685 features a 6-inch inlet with a removable Y-fitting with two 4-inch openings. The Y-fitting is used to branch lines to service more than one machine, perfect for those looking for a convenient multi-machine set-up. If two ports are not needed simply remove the fitting to expose a 6-inch inlet or cap-off one of the 4-inch inlets.

Steel Impeller

The W1685 features a steel impeller to handle the wood debris that passes through to the 2.5 micron filter bag. Unlike plastic impellers, the Shop Fox steel impeller offers long lasting performance.

Customers like the performance of the vacuum cleaner.

Customers like the dust collection of the vacuum cleaner. They say it does a great job collecting dust from their table saw, and the filter traps even MDF and sanding dust.

They mention that it works fantastic in removing chips and avoiding frequent clogging.

"...Its dust filtration is good (2.5 microns) but the recommendation is for 0.5 microns or smaller if you want to work without a filter mask...." Read more

"...No more dust!" Read more

"...It easily removes the dust from the equipment and captures it. Dust capture and air filtration for the unit is very good...." Read more

89 customers mention49 positive40 negative

Customers are mixed about the quality of the vacuum cleaner. Some mention that it's very well made, and strong enough to pull debris from 15". However, others say that the stand is made of relatively cheap stuff, and could use additional support. Some customers also mention that the box was flimsy, and the poles holding the bags up are floppy.

"...It has a STEEL impeller which will far outlast the plastic impellers found in many lower-priced (and less powerful) units...." Read more

"...So I used the HF version ring instead. The SF straps are super cheap as well. They look like the straps used for shipping something...." Read more

"...As I said earlier, the assembly went very quickly (compared for instance to a table saw or a jointer), and the following morning when I added the..." Read more

"...Assembly by yourself is easy if you think things through and the trick to installing the plastic collection bag is to use painters tape to hold in..." Read more

"...were enough nuts and bolts for the assembly, but the instructions were not always clear about which size bolts go where -- I had to back up and swap..." Read more

"...The unit runs fairly quiet and it's certainly easier on the erars than my shop vac. Suction is good...." Read more

My Pre-Review... first impressions are not good
4 Stars
My Pre-Review... first impressions are not good
EDIT: 10 years later and it's still going strong for me, so I must update this to 4 stars. My initial disappointment with the peripherals and accessories (or lack thereof) has been overcome by the performance of the actual product.______________________________________________________________________________I was excited to get some new equipment for the shop at the end of 2011, so in came a Grizzly table saw and a Shop Fox dust collector. My viewpoint may have been slanted a bit from assembling the beautiful, sturdy, and precision instrument that was the table saw, but the Shop Fox has left me pretty disappointed as to where my money has gone.Every component of this equipment other than the motor just screams of cost-cutting and cheapness. The black base is made of very thin sheet metal... so thin that it would easily deflect under the weight of the motor had they not tack-welded a couple angle braces underneath. But mind you, the braces go only halfway across the motor side, because why make the whole thing sturdy? That would cost an extra 50 cents!Secondly, there is not a lock-washer or locking nut anywhere on this thing. Mind you this is a 2 HP motor that I assume is going to vibrate a fair bit, so I will be heading to the hardware store for a set of those so that this thing does not fall apart while I am using it! For now I used a double-nut on the motor mounts since that is probably the first place the nuts would vibrate off. The nuts and bolts themselves are not too great - that reminds me, one of my 16 "caster" bolts would not take a nut... like it had been cross-threaded, except I couldn't see any damage on it.To the reviewer who mentioned that the mounting holes don't line up... I see your point. The mount is made of a single piece of metal that was bent into a "U" shape with not much precision. Mine was close enough that I was able to force it to expand a bit to meet the holes without any extra drilling. Also the 'tabs' on the motor I had to bend a bit.The rubber gasket was crumpled up like a potato chip... a minor inconvenience when trying to seat the thing under the flange, but easily avoidable by putting it between some cardboard. Seriously, putting $10 more into this unit would have made it so much nicer.The final insult? No 220 plug! Just a bare wire where the plug should be. I called tech support, and sure enough that was intended! I was so astonished that I had to take a picture of it. They mentioned the different kinds of 220 plug formats... well I don't know about you guys but I have "T" receptacles that will fit either a 6-15 or 6-20 plug. Funny, my Grizzly table saw had a plug on the end so I could... you know... use it. Granted I haven't bought too much 220v equipment, but it seems to me like the stuff I see out there usually can be plugged in when you receive it! Seems like if I was one of the few people who couldn't plug in a 6-15 plug, I could then go buy a new receptacle. In other words, where 90% of folks probably have a T receptacle and could use an installed 6-15 plug, instead now 100% have to go buy a plug and install it. So off to the hardware store and another $10 for a plug before I can try the thing.Having said all that, the motor seems to be sturdy enough, and if it does the job at half the price of a Jet or Delta then I will keep it, and probably raise my rating to 3 or 4 stars.
