Dust Collectors work by moving large volumes of air at lower suction pressures than vacuum
cleaners. Delta dust collectors are not designed to be used as high-suction cleaners; however,
they are designed to help maintain clean, safe conditions around dust-creating machines in work-
shops and factories. The flexible hose furnished with each unit can be connected directly into the
woodworking machine.
