The Shop Fox W1666-2 HP Dust Collector paired with the POWERTEC 70136 Hose Reducer is a powerhouse combination for any workshop. With an air suction capacity of approximately 1,550 CFM and a static pressure of 12.3 inches, this dust collector 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 quietly and offers excellent suction power, capable of pulling planer shavings from an open hand at 4 inches from the duct. The inclusion of casters makes it easy to move around, though users should be cautious when grabbing the unit to avoid bending the bag support arm.

The POWERTEC 70136 Hose Reducer is a handy accessory that allows you to step down from a larger 4-inch hose to a smaller 2-1/2-inch hose, making it compatible with various shop vacuums. Made from high-quality ABS plastic, it ensures durability and long-term use.

Overall, this combination is highly rated for its performance and ease of use, though some minor assembly issues and noise levels are noted. A solid choice for anyone looking to upgrade their dust collection system.
