RIKON 1 1/2 HP Dust Collector

Description

Choked by fine wood dust clouds drifting across your shop after jointing, planing, or table saw cuts? The RIKON 1 1/2 HP Dust Collector vacuums chips and fine dust right off your woodworking cutter heads. It uses a single-stage separation design, meaning big wood blocks will strike the steel fan impeller if you skip pre-sorting scrap.

Heavy stamped sheet steel constructs the motor housing and collection base, mounted on rolling caster wheels. The TEFC induction motor puts out 1.5 HP, pulling 9.0 full-load amps on 115V or 4.5 amps on 230V single-phase power at 3,450 RPM. Total dry tool weight sits at 93 lbs. Exterior floor dimensions measure 33 inches long, 22 inches wide, and 76 inches tall with the upper canister filter mounted.

Key Features of RIKON 60-150

Woodworkers buy RIKON 60-150 dust collectors to keep shop air breathable and stop wood dust coatings on machine tables. Modest machine pricing delivers industrial chip collection power inside compact basement and garage workshops.

• Solid 1.5 HP induction motors move 1,150 CFM of suction air to clear chips from heavy jointers.
• Heavy-gauge steel fan impellers chop up wood shavings without cracking on knot passes.
• Pleated canister micro-filters trap 99 percent of fine wood dust particles down to two microns.
• Top canister crank handles rotate internal cleaning paddles to drop caked dust into lower bags.
• Dual four-inch intake ports connect two machines at once or run one six-inch main branch drop.
• Clear plastic lower collection bags hold 5.4 cubic feet of chips for fast visual inspection.
• Sturdy steel cart bases roll on four caster wheels to move between woodworking machines.

Suction Static Pressure Bench Metrics

Bench airflow testing with a four-inch inlet open shows 1,150 CFM at 9.0 inches of static water-gauge pressure drop. The balanced steel impeller shows under 0.002 inches of runout on the motor drive shaft, eliminating vibration hum. Current draw settles at 8.8 FLA on 115V under full duct load without motor heat trip. Sound level meters register 78 dB at six feet during heavy chip extraction. The pleated canister filter maintains full CFM airflow through fifteen planer board passes before backpressure builds.

Woodshop Usability Realities Maintenance

Pushing this 93 lb cart over sawdust-covered woodshop floors takes light effort on the tubular steel push bar. Bag change bands clamp tight with snap-over metal levers. Do not buy this collector for hot metal grinding sparks, wet masonry concrete dust, or wet plumbing slurries.

• Spin the top canister cleaning paddle crank three full turns after every planer run.
• Empty the lower plastic chip collection bag before shavings reach the upper steel ring.
• Check the four-inch hose clamp bands for air seal tightness every two weeks.
