Description
Overview
The JET JDC-501 is a cabinet-style metal dust collector built to pull abrasive dust and chips from belt and disc finishing and grinding machines. It collects metal dust into a clean-out drawer instead of cloth bags, which makes it safer for sparking and abrasive work.
A non-sparking aluminum housing and fan blade reduce fire risk when collecting hot metal dust, and two 3-inch chutes let you connect two machines to one collector. The unit rolls on four casters with two handles so it moves around the shop. It belongs in the fabrication and metalworking grinding and finishing lineup from JET.
