Choosing a dust collector
I am comparing three- 2HP dust collectors to decide which one to buy.
Currently I own a 15 year old collector North State UFO 101 that I bought used
Specs: 2 HP, 1150 CFM, 12 amps@220 Can’t determine the Static Pressure Rating
I’m considering a Penn State DC2000B
Specs: 2HP. 1500 CFM, 9.5 amps@220, Max Static Pressure 9.5” $235
also a Grizzly G1029Z2P
Specs: 2HP 1550 CFM, 9 amps@220, Static pressure 11” $325
Both the Penn State and the Grizzly claim CFM almost 25% greater than my old North State.
Is it likely that these new machines can perform that much better with the same HP rating. I’m leaning toward the PennState due to the price, But I’d like to be sure I’m getting the performance advertised.
Any help is appreciated.
