Got an electronic holiday catalog today and was surprised to see there's a new dust collector in town.

Bigger motor (no longer inside the collector), bigger standard hood, smaller collection bag. I wish it gave the specs (CFM).

I do not 'see' an 8" hose. Wonder if that is a mis print?

Now corrected. Yes it is an 8' hose.

It appears in my version as an 8' hose.

That is because he 'corrected' it.

Curious if it indeed an improvement. Of all my Shopsmith equipment, the dust collector has been the weakest link. Not terrible at all, but my Harbor Freight collector with a wynn upgrade is far superior.

I went to the Shopsmith demo in Winston Salem NC this morning and didn't come home with an answer as to CFM of the new dust collector either. I sent a question to Shopsmith customer service when I got home. Hopefully someone will share an answer.

Anybody notice there is no jointer or planer in the new catalog?

Still listed as available on the web site...

I have sent 3 emails to Shopsmith over the last 10 days asking for the CFM spec for the new dust collector. No responses received at all.
