Keep your shop and your workers safe with woodworking and metalworking JET dust collectors. Quiet and easy to use and set up, dust collection is a must in almost any workspace.

Vortex Cones in select models improve chip separation to prevent clogging of the filter, and increase packing efficiency of the collector bag. The high air velocity (CFM) stands up to any competitive specifications, and industrial controls are designed for years of durable use. Exclusive technologies make JET the leader in single stage dust collection units, with the ability to capture particles as small as 2 microns.
