Key Features
1100 CFM AirflowHigh air movement helps this dust collector keep up with planers, table saws, and other chip-heavy machines. That matters because steady airflow means better pickup at the source and less mess left behind in the shop. Vortex Cone SeparationJET’s Vortex Cone is built to improve chip separation before debris reaches the filter area. In real use, that helps reduce premature clogging and keeps performance more consistent over longer runs. Portable Shop SetupFour casters and quick-connect collection bags make the unit easier to move, empty, and put back to work. That saves time in smaller shops where one collector may need to serve more than one machine.
Overview
The JET DC-1100VX-5M Dust Collector is a 1.5 horsepower single-stage dust collector built for woodshop dust and chip collection. This is a dust collector designed for collecting sawdust and wood chips from stationary woodworking machines. Model Number: DC-1100VX-5M. Stock Number: 708658K. If you need a mobile collector that can handle everyday shop cleanup without stepping into a much larger system, this is the kind of unit that makes sense.
The big selling point here is airflow paired with separation. JET rates this unit at 1100 CFM with a high-velocity design, and the Vortex Cone is there for a reason: it helps separate chips before they load up the filter area. That matters on machines that make a lot of waste fast, because clogged filters kill performance. Better chip separation means the collector keeps pulling instead of fading as the bag fills.
Filtration matters too, and this version uses a 5-micron bag filter. For many home shops and small pro shops, that is a practical setup when you want a straightforward bag-style dust collection system without jumping to a larger canister unit. The quick-connect collection bags with an elastic band also make bag changes less of a fight, which is one of those details you appreciate after the first few cleanouts.
From a build and usability standpoint, this JET dust collector is set up for real shop use. The motor is permanently lubricated, totally enclosed, and fan-cooled for continuous-duty operation. Industrial controls are intended for long-term reliability, and the single-stage design keeps the machine economical and relatively quiet for its class, with published sound output in the 70 to 80 dB range.
Shop footprint and mobility are part of the equation with any dust collection equipment. This unit stands about 79 inches high and comes mounted on four casters, so you can roll it where you need it instead of dedicating it to one fixed spot right away. That is useful in a garage shop or smaller workspace where tools move around or where one collector services different machines depending on the job.
Power setup is flexible. The motor is prewired for 115V but can also be converted to 230V, which gives you options based on the electrical service in your shop. Hose connection capacity is also practical: the collector is set up for a 6 inch single hose connection or two 4 inch hose connections. That gives you some freedom in how you connect it to a table saw, planer, jointer, or other woodworking equipment.
This dust collector is best suited for woodworkers, cabinet shops, furniture makers, school shops, and serious DIY users who want better dust collection than a basic shop vacuum can deliver. If your work involves table saw cutting, planing, routing, or sanding support in a small to mid-size shop, the JET DC-1100VX-5M Dust Collector is built for exactly that kind of daily use.
Built to Keep Air Moving
A dust collector only helps when it still pulls well after the first few minutes of use. The Vortex Cone design is meant to keep chips from packing straight into the filter area too early, so airflow stays more consistent during longer runs.
- Rated at 1100 CFM for woodworking dust and chip collection
- Single-stage design with Vortex Cone for improved chip separation
- 5-micron bag filter for practical small-shop filtration
Easy to Position Around the Shop
For a lot of shops, portability is not a bonus feature, it is the only way the setup works. This unit rolls on four casters and uses quick-connect bag hardware, so moving it and servicing it is a lot more manageable than older fixed-base bag collectors.
- Includes four casters for maneuverability and total portability
- Quick-connect collection bags with elastic band for faster removal and installation
- Overall dimensions are approximately 37 in. x 28 in. x 79 in.

Pro Tip
If your shop has 230V available, it is worth wiring this collector for that setup during installation. On machines like this, getting the electrical side matched to the shop from day one usually makes the whole system easier to live with long term.

Tool Nut’s Take
JET DC-1100VX-5M Dust Collector for Shops That Need Real Chip Control
This is a smart buy for the woodworker who wants better airflow and less filter drama without moving up to a much bigger dust collection system.
- Who it’s for: Small professional shops, serious home woodworkers, and anyone running saws, jointers, or planers that create a steady stream of chips.
- Why it stands out: The Vortex Cone design is the main reason to look at this one. It is there to keep chips from loading the filter too quickly, and that is exactly the kind of detail that matters in day-to-day shop use.
- Worth knowing: This is still a single-stage bag collector, so buy it for practical mobile shop dust collection, not because you want a full hard-piped industrial system.
