My small shop (approx. 19'x20' garage) has needed a proper dust collector for quite some time now, especially since so many of my tools have 4" dust ports. The small diameter hose on the shop vac just wasn't cutting it.
After scouring the web and looking at all kinds of different dust collector options, ideas and hacks, I finally decided on the JET JCDC 1.5HP Cyclone Dust Collector and it is quite the upgrade to my shop!
This video shows my unboxing, assembly and first power-up of this dust collector and I hope it will be helpful to anybody considering adding a dust collector to their shop.
For more information on why I chose this dust collector over other models or diy hacks, please check out the blog entry on my site: www.stuffsethma...
And of course you can add one to your shop using the following link:

This video was more useful to me then a manual. Thank you Seth! Another way to mount heavy motor assembly to the frame is to lay both parts on the floor attach motor assembly to the frame and then simply lift it. If you can pull only motor assembly from the ground you will able to lift both parts.
glad it was helpful! :)
Hard to believe this video is 6 years old and I am just now seeing it. Great video and easy to understand. I am waiting until Black Friday but I will be using your link. Thanks again hermano.
holy smokes time flies🤦🏻♂️😅. Glad it was helpful! I've been meaning to do a follow up video (all is good!) but i just haven't had time🤦🏻♂️
i also have a JET bandsaw video in the works...hopefully get that posted before another 6 years goes by🤣
I've had this unit for 18 months with zero problems.
I picked up my Jet 1.5 this morning and watched your video first. Thanks for a great "How To" with the assembly. I'm sure you saved me from making the same mistake with the levers, even though the seams line up in the back if its done right. I probably wouldn't have noticed it.
Glad I could help! Sometimes I wonder if my (few) videos I have posted are any help to people. So far it seems like this one has helped a lot of people! Have fun in the shop!
Seth, glad I watched your video. Bought the same machine and your video allowed me to assemble without any problems. Thanks!
Just put one together. Your video helped a lot. Thanks.
Ray Trebor awesome! glad to hear it's been helpful for so many people! 👍🏻
Good Video. My Jet DC is sitting on a dock waiting for delivery due to the Coronavirus. Your video was very informative. I was looking forward to your follow up video with hoses and fittings. I guess that never happened. Grinding the plastic to prevent cracking was a good idea. Another RUclipsr broke his trying to snap them on.
David A. Kupka yeah when you're not a full time youtuber but still have bills to pay, you don't always have time to do all the videos you want to do. Sometimes you just gotta skip the video and get to work so you can finish the client job, get paid and keep the roof over your head. Looks like your channel is doing great though, keep up the good work! 🤦🏻♂️
@@stuffsethmakes , I am just messing with you. Thanks for your explanation though. I already bought and received my fittings from Rockler so I'm good. I was just looking to see your spin on it. Once again. Good video. Keep up the good work 👍
Picked mine up yesterday. Your video helped a lot in assembly, thanks much!
James Kemp awesome!! Glad it was helpful 👍🏻
I didn’t see a video of you installing the dust collector pvc piping. I just bought the same 1 1/2 HP Jet u have. I’m totally gassed to install this in my wood shop!! Great video of assembling ur dust collector!!
My new jet jcdc-1.5 is scheduled to come tomorrow!! I cleaned out a place for it and am ready to assemble. Have waited for a long time to get this. Looks pretty straightforward. Very excited. Now I need to get the hoses to match my design for each drop.
Awesome! You won't be disappointed :)
Super helpful. I’m going to be assembling mine in the next couple days. Also noticed the directions are lacking. Even the parts list is incomplete.
glad this was helpful! i keep keep keep meaning to do an update video (no complaints) but i've done a couple things like added a 2nd handle to the dust drum and swapped out the caster wheels for slightly larger and softer wheels. I just haven't had time to do that video. (do it seth, cmon buddy...people are counting on you!!) haha. Thanks again, glad it was helpful! 🙌🏻
Thanks for the reply. I have decided to go with the 2 HP version and get 230V installed in the garage.
SWEET!!!💥💥
Earth magnets work great holding the bag in place
yep! i've already done that now haha! great minds think alike 😁👍🏻
Thank you so much for this. The instructions that it came with are terrible. This helped me a lot!
This is excellent! Putting mine together tomorrow. Thank you for this!
nice!! 👍🏻
Thank you Seth this made my assembly Much easier ! I almost dropped those silly plastic covers in the trash. Each one covers 1 of 3 bolt heads.
Awesome! Great to hear, glad the video helped!
Nice job. Your channel is really coming along well. You're a natural. Keep it up, I'm looking forward to what's more to come.
Very helpful video Seth and it is very much appreciated. I was assembling mine when I ran into something else that is not clear in the manual and that is which foam tape, of the 3 roles, goes where. The instructions show 4 roles of tape and they give the length in mm, not width which would have identified which role to use. It looks like you figured it out but I still can't tell which role goes where. Thanks for taking the time and for the most part this is an easy assembly.
After watching the section of the video again I realized that the filter bottom actually uses the narrow tape (also thicker). The dust collector input uses the smaller role and the bottom of the cone and the can use the larger role (2 roles rolled into one large one). Hopefully this helps someone else, or I could be the only one who had to think 3 times about it.
Happy to hear the video was useful! :)
Thanks for the video! Well done!
Thank you!
Good video !
Great video. Very informative and well produced. A thought... I own a Jet DC-1100 -VX and I am thinking about purchasing a JCDC as a replacement piece. Saying that, I use magnets to hold the plastic bag into place when I change them. Again, great work. Cheers, Kevin
Ahhh yes....magnets!! Why didn't I think of that?? :)
Seth;
Very instructional. I am buying the exact unit based on your info. I would like to know the exact distance from the unit ( on wheels) floor to center diameter of the 6’ inlet port - I plan to put the unit in another room with a concrete wall in between, and the concrete wall will have an opening to pass tubing through - to keep the pvc pipe run as straight as possible from the Jet to the shop, that would be a helpful dimension! Thanks! (JET customer service could not provide that info!)
I'd call it 43inches. I did swap out the caster wheels (with a little modification) but they're pretty close to the size of the original ones the unit came with.
Very, very nice video. My JCDC-3 was just delivered and I'm assuming that the assembly will be very similar.
I'm about to order the 3hp as well. How has it been for you? Any advice?
@@JJ-ey8ce So far so good. I'm still working through getting all the duct work installed so I can't speak to the ultimate results. I did document the unboxing and installation of my unit here:
www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=298920&page=168
Scroll down the page to POST 3349 - that's where the JET Dust Collector information starts. I did manage to cross-thread a bolt when mounting the Motor Assembly to the frame. Resolution of this issue is documented. POST 3355 also has an issue that I had forgotten until just now. I managed to pull the filter's "Beater Axle" out of its lower mount. The circumstances leading up to that may have been unique but it might be worth reviewing just to be sure that one doesn't duplicate that situation.
This really is a walk down "Repressed Memory Lane" - POST 3357 details the construction of the Bag Frame. What a PITA!
Ductwork installation gets started on PAGE 173 POST 3443. After a bit there's a gap and then it starts again at POST 3471. PAGE 179 has the last bit of information on ductwork installation so far.
One of the better build video's I've seen. Manual states a footprint of 47x22. Other (older) video's I've seen stated smaller dimensions. Is the base really almost 4 feet?
Snapjam Woodworks hey, thanks so much! No no, the footprint is approx 31”x21”, I just measured it 😉
Beautiful video quality...
EMTdrummer thanks so much! make sure you also check out my recent JET drill press video! i've improved my camera presence haha! 👍🏻
This helped a lot thanks
Awesome, happy to hear it! :)
I notice this was posted almost 2 years ago. Any followup videos or reviews of it after having used it for a while? I'm debating between this and the Laguna Cflux 1, so i'd love your thoughts on this machine. Thanks!
No new videos for it, no new info other than I still love it. I use it almost every day. It works more noticeably when using the planer & jointer, but you're going to find that to be the case with any dust collector since those machines spit out bigger pieces than a table saw/bandsaw/sander. Bottom line, I still use it and I still love it!
Hey Seth, excellent video, I can tell you have a lot of talent for camera placement and editing. Good stuff! I'm wondering if you have any thoughts about your JET DC after a couple years now? Still working well for you in your shop?
Thanks so much! Yes I still love it! I've been wanting to do a follow up video but just haven't had the time. FYI, I'm about to post a new video about my new JET drill press and that should be up here on the 'Tube within the next couple of days. I'll hope you'll circle back and check that out too. Thanks!!
@@stuffsethmakes For sure I'm subscribed now. Looking forward to it, cheers!
Seth - good jpb on the video. I also have a power question. I have 110v 15 amp circuits in my garage. What do you have? I have heard from others that 15 amps is not sufficient.
sorry for the delay! i just looked at my panel and it's on a 20. I cannot tell you whether or not you'd have any issue on a 15 because i've only run it plugged into a 20.
Have you had any problems running at 110V? I only have a 20A circuit breaker and wondering whether this unit will trip the breaker on startup.
No problems at all! I have my dust collector, welder, washer and dryer (my wife still gets SOME of the garage, haha!) all on one line, but I'm never running more than one thing at the same time. We usually do laundry after I'm done in the shop but there have been times when we're running the dryer and I have the collector going, and still no problems. That's just my situation, yours may differ.
Would be nice to actually see it set up and working. Otherwise a really terrific assembly video.
a follow up video is on my to-do video list.....along with a million other videos and projects 😂
Thanks for the video. I’m considering this model. How long is the power cord?
i just measured it for you. it's 11 feet long 👍🏻
@@stuffsethmakes thank you
Great video. You just got a new subscriber. I'm really looking forward to see, how this unit would work together with a drum sander. Any experience?
I don't have a drum sander but a friend of mine does. He has a different dust collector but it definitely makes a huge difference!
Do you find the noise to be an issue?
no problem. as far as i'm concerned it's similar to a shop vac....maybe a little louder since it's obviously more powerful than a shop vac, but that's to be expected 👍🏻
How do you like the system now that you have used it for a few months
Russell Lowrey I love it. I use the Dust Right connectors from rockler so it’s easy to go from tool to tool. When I’d use the shop vac it would fill up quick. It’s nice to have this suction now. It’s also not nearly as loud as I was thinking it would be. My only complaint that has come up recently is the caster wheels aren’t great. I move the unit around a lot since I have a small shop so I might pick up some better ones and swap them out. All in all though, I’m extremely happy with this unit!
Thanks for the quick response. I just picked up the Dust Collector yesterday, hope to get it set up this weekend. I have been looking at the LAGUNA table saw as well. Thanks again.
Seth, how loud is it? I have heard that it makes quite a racket...
EMTdrummer not sure where you heard that but a racket it is not. did you watch the whole video? i run it and you can hear it. A little louder than a shop vac. Not a racket at all.
Thoughts on this unit 3 years later?
still love it and use it every day! i plan to do a follow up video soon since i've had so many people ask about it. 👍🏻
@@stuffsethmakes I just purchased one! Would love to see how you have it setup. Are you using a flexible hose to a single tool at a time or do you have things hard plumbed?
Nice! I have a small shop so i really don't have room to plumb it. I have one of the long blue hoses from rockler and i've got the DustRight handle on the end, and then DustRight attachments at the tools. I'll also be doing a shop tour as soon as i finish my new miter station. Stay tuned! 🙌🏻
Nice, how much?
