This unit features an extra heavy-duty 12" steel impeller and a 1-1/2 HP motor that runs on 110V. For wood dust only. Features 2.5 micron filtration. Review: Great machine. A bit lacking in quality control. - I got my Shop Fox today. I started assembly. THe first thing I noticed was I was short on bolts per the manual. The manual called for 14 M8 bolts and it only came with 6. These are for bolting down the motor mount and impeller housing. Don't panic, the base plate has threaded holes in it so they must have changed the design but not updated the manual yet. The motor mount holes in the base plate lined up nicely by the impeller housing holes were 1 3/8" too close to the motor mount holes. One othe impeller mounts lined up with a caster bolt so I replaced that with a 1/4" x 1" bolt, 2 flat washers, a lock washer and nut. I had to drill a hole for the other impleller housing foot. I used another 1/4 x 1" bolt and washers to secure it. There are zero lock washers with this unti, just flat washers. Check the unit perodically to ensure all bolts are tight. If they tend to come lose add a lock washer. A hex wrench and 2 cast open ended wrenches (8 & 10MM and 111 & 13MM) came with the unit. A nice touch but you don't use the hex wrench and at some point you will need a second 10 and 13MM wrench to tighten the bolts. ou will also need a phillips screwdriver. Assembly was a breeze once I got past the missing impeller housing holes. The unit runs fairly quiet and it's certainly easier on the erars than my shop vac. Suction is good. The colloector was able to pull planer shavings from my open hand at 4" from the duct. I will rate the collection performance after I've had a bit more time to use the machine with all my tools. Based on advice from reviews on the Woodstock W1049 large dust collector seperator I will install one as a precollector to the Shop Fox. As one reviewer mentioned it reduces the pucker factor should a large chunk of wood get sucked into the dust collection. I have no desire to be replacing my impeller or housing any time soon. :) Reviewers note that the precollector catches most of the shavings and reduces the frequency of emptying the Shop Fox bag. The unit is on casters for ease of movement but be wary of where you grab the unit to move it. I pulled on the bag support arm and it began to bend. It seems like the seperator unit is the best place to push or maybe push the base with your foot. It would be nice to have a definate solid handle to grab for mobility. Overall I rate this a 5 star fine machine. Review: Very Powerful and great value!!! - Shop Fox model W1685 arrived yesterday and I immediately opened box to be a bit worried, the Styrofoam packing materials had been broken by the weight of the motor. Upon inspection the only thing I could find is one of the motor mounts was slightly bent. I began assembly and felt the instructions were very clearly written and easy to follow. The biggest thing I was impressed with during assembly was the quality of the nuts and bolts supplied, everything went together flawlessly without having to fight threads and alignment, by far the easiest assembly process I have experienced in a long time. Assembly by yourself is easy if you think things through and the trick to installing the plastic collection bag is to use painters tape to hold in place while you put the bag clamp on. This beast does draw a good amount of power at startup, I was using a 12 gauge ceiling mounted cord to test it and it 'popped' the cords integrated 15amp breaker consistently at startup. Once connected to a dedicated circuit it worked flawlessly. I hooked it up to my miter saw and cut some wood and was amazed at the power and suction. I will be testing my surface planer and table saw in the next few days but have no worries that this will handle anything I have in my shop! Very happy with my purchase so far!!! ## Features - Powder coated paint - Bag volume: 5.4 cubic feet - Static pressure: 10.1-Inch.

It is prewired to 110V and has a full‐load current rating at 16A. The minimum circuit size is 20A. **Q: Is it easy to move around the shop? I have a concrete floor and want to go back and forth maybe 20 feet. The 1HP unit is supposed to be very mobile. How about this one?** A: My wheels fell off when I tried to live in in my level concrete floor a distance of two feet. They replaced them for no charge **Q: One of the reviewers voiced concerns that the unit is not UL tested and runs on much more amps than advertised. he sees it as a hazard. comments?** A: I have a 20 amp breaker for my garage. I can run the machine by itself, but as soon as any small increase and I blow the breaker. ...to bad this isn't 230v convertible. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great machine.

Very happy with my purchase so far!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Working out well in my shop *by D***N on July 27, 2021* I purchased this recently for my home shop. At the moment, I have it setup with a single 4 inch hose run up from the unit and across the ceiling, splitting off to a 4" jointer hose, a 2 1/2" planer hose, and another 2 1/2" hose that I use like a shop-vac. It works really well, for the most part. Some of the larger chips tend to get stuck in the 2 1/2" hoses, but I think that's more to do with my hose configuration, since the chips have to be sucked up 10 ft. to the ceiling. It's a bit of a pain to replace the dust collection bag without a second set of hands, but some tape could probably resolve that. When emptying, definitely make sure to knock the dust out of the filter bag, otherwise the suction will be greatly reduced. Large debris and trash can block off the impeller, so try not to let the kids suck up bubble wrap and dust masks, like mine did...easy to clear out, though. Overall, it's a great dust collector for the price. It has very good suction, especially with 4" hoses, and it's quieter than a shop-vac. ## Frequently Bought Together - Shop Fox W1685-1-1/2 HP Dust Collector,White - POWERTEC 70136 4" to 2-1/2" Cone Reducer, Dust Collection Fittings for Dust Collection Hose to Hose Connection - Peachtree Woodworking Supply FULTON 4" x 20' Ultra Flex Clear-Vue Heavy Duty PVC Hose - MADE IN USA! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/8746383-shop-fox-w1685-1-1-2-hp-dust-collector-white](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/8746383-shop-fox-w1685-1-1-2-hp-dust-collector-white) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-09-23*
