I've recently purchased a Powermatic 221 20", 10hp planer. The 3/4 hp 2 stage roll around Delta dust collector I've used for the last 25 years is too small to keep up with it. So, I need to find a replacement. Since I am building a new shop, I've been thinking of going to a stationary cyclone system and have found a Delta 50-904 which has a 7 1/2hp motor and 2400cfm which is a lot larger than the text book requirements for the planer or any of the other tools I will have in the shop.
Is it worth considering the Delta, especially since the price is right, or would I be better off looking at a 3-5 hp machine? My longest duct runs will be less than 40' and I probably won't ever be using more than two machines at a time.
