More about PSI Woodworking DC725 Portable Tabletop Dust Collector

The PSI Woodworking DC725 Portable Tabletop Dust Collector is quite handy to have if your craft activity creates dust. My activity is gourd art which includes drilling, sanding, carving gourds all of which create a large amount of dust. While wood dust is not healthy to be breathing, gourd dust is worse and can lead to very bad health issues. I have found that while using the PSI dust collector, face masks aren’t necessary which makes for a more comfortable working situation. The electric cord has it own storage area which makes moving the machine around easier and safer. A double electric recepticle makes it handy for plugging in tools and/or work lamp. Two recessed areas on the top are provided for inserting adjustable desk lamps. The noise level of the machine is a plus expecially if one has been using a shop vac during a craft exercise. The clear plastic dust shields are adjustable making it possible to adjust them to your project needs, however, it is unhandy to use this machine as a true portable because the plastic dust shields cannot be stored with the machine when moving it. This problem could be easily corrected by the addition of perhaps “L” brackets on the back of the machine to sit the shields in when moving or storing. While I haven’t had the machine very long, my only negative is the issue of storing the plastic shields when the machine is not being used or moved from one place to another.
