The Shop Fox W1666-2 HP Dust Collector paired with the POWERTEC 70136 Hose Reducer is a robust solution for workshop dust collection. With an air suction capacity of approximately 1,550 CFM and a static pressure of 12.3 inches, this unit is designed to handle heavy-duty tasks efficiently.

Assembly can be a bit tricky, as some users reported missing bolts and misaligned holes. However, the unit runs fairly quietly once assembled and offers excellent suction power, capable of pulling planer shavings from an open hand at 4 inches from the duct.

The POWERTEC 70136 Hose Reducer is a handy accessory that allows you to step down from a larger 4-inch dust collection hose to a smaller 2-1/2-inch shop vacuum hose. Made with high-quality ABS plastic, it ensures long-term durability and can withstand the abrasive nature of workshop dust collection.

Users have noted that the unit is on casters for ease of movement but caution against grabbing the bag support arm to move it, as it may bend. The separator unit or base is recommended for pushing or moving.

Overall, the Shop Fox W1666-2 HP Dust Collector and POWERTEC 70136 Hose Reducer combination is a powerful and efficient solution for any workshop, despite some minor assembly challenges.
