I have had this for several months now and it has worked really well. I hated dust in my shop and held out too long. It seems well built with quality components.
It's nice and quiet and has pretty good pull even though I am running it through 18 feet of hose to my jointer and tablesaw. I plan on getting an inline trash can collector to remedy that. I use one tool at a time, but I think thats all its rated to handle.
My only gripe is that I often have to clear jams of shavings from the inlet grate when I mill anything wider than 3 inches on my jointer. I also use it to vacuum the floor through over 20ft of 2 1/2 inch hose and it works fantastic. I have filled the bag about 10 times and have had no problems with it.
I would recommend this to anyone looking for a dust collector for your personal shop without hesitation. It has lived up to the good reviews so I wanted to add one of my own.
Cost of replacement motor, with shipping and gear puller: $200. Motor shorted out within well under one hour running time. Mine had sat unused for a long time and so was out of warranty. Cost of complete new unit, including motor freight: $196.45. Since the G8027 is well designed, works well apart from the bad motor, and is killer priced, I will probably get a complete new unit of the same kind, hopefully mine was a fluke.
I recommend you get the 1 micron bags instead of the 30 micron that is supplied by grizzly. I've had this for 5 years now and not one problem. It is relatively quiet and the band clamps are very easy to use to release the bags. I've hooked this up to my tablesaw and planer and it never bogged down. A solid performer.
Not very loud and sucks well (this is a good thing). I have one of these (not exactly, but I bought one from Homier and it looks like the exact same thing but brown in color). Have had it for almost 5 years hooked up to a Ryobi BT3000 and it has worked well and flawlessly. Easily worth the money. Recommended.- Kofi
I just bought this machine. I haven't used any other collectors but this one is good for individuals who have a small shop.I wasn't crazy about the way its put together. Has about 25% more power then my craftsman 5hp shop vac. So far it pulls just about all the dust I can throw at it from my table saw and miter saw which is notorious for spraying dust everywhere.Not as loud as my shopvac and much smoother at pulling in the dust, plus as the bag fills up it still pulls in consistent pressure whereas my shop vac even with a drywall bag still clogs up. When the instructions say its from China.clearly from the bolts and assembly its definitely made in China. It is very solid after construction but we'll see how long it holds up with vibration and dust etc.
