The Craftex CX429 Cyclone Dust Collector is a powerful, space-conscious dust collection solution designed for smaller woodworking shops where performance and footprint both matter. Equipped with a 3 HP, 220V single-phase motor and a 14" steel impeller, the CX429 delivers strong suction for typical woodworking machinery while maintaining a more compact layout than many full-size cyclone units.
Its cyclone separation system helps separate heavier chips and dust before they reach the filter, supporting efficient collection and cleaner airflow. A 1-micron canister filter captures fine dust particles, while the 30-gallon steel collection drum provides practical capacity for hobby shops, small professional shops, and mobile workshop setups. The fast-acting drum release handle makes dust disposal easier, and heavy-duty swivel castors allow the unit to be repositioned around the shop as needed.
