Grizzly G0441 3 HP Cyclone Dust Collector Product Description:
Product Description
Cyclonic action separates the heavy dust particles from the fine particles and drops them into the 55-gallon steel drum. The fine dust travels past the 15-1/2" diameter impeller and is then trapped by a cartridge filter made of spun-bond polyester that filters 99.9% of particles from 0.2 to 2 microns in size. The cartridge filter is pleated to provide 113 square feet of surface area for efficient air movement and a clear plastic bag collects the fine cake that shakes off the filter for consistent dust collector performance. Casters mounted to the drum also make disposal of the larger chips and dust as easy as it gets. We have a limited supply of stock that is CSA certified.

By CA Woodworker
I placed an order for this unit direct from Grizzly. They included a free gift in the order . I chose a set of 115 titanium bits. The bit set arrived first. The metal box that contained the bits was low quality with a interfering mechanisms and a catch that didn't line up. Despite the cheesy metal box, I've used the bits several times now and they work well.This made me concerned about the dust collector. My fears were warranted - the box showed up and was beat up. It had some minor crushing and a couple of tears and one good sized hole. The pallet onto which it was stapled had one of the bottom members torn off leaving bare nails sticking out.The box had an extra piece of cardboard taped to the top which appears to be because the box was so beat up that it needed augmentation. The box looked like it had be opened and taped shut several times. Notice this: Grizzly shipped a 425 lb shipment in a cardboard box stapled to a pallet and it is not bolted down. I'm not an expert in this area, but other manufacturers have sent me such large items crated, bolted down, and with steel bands holding everything in place.Most troubling, was that inside, the collector parts were haphazardly placed in a somewhat random fashion with pieces of cardboard taped to parts to try and prevent them from damaging one another during shipping.It didn't work, there was a substantial gouge in the side of the blower housing that was created by a nearby bolt.Aside from all this packaging/shipping/customer service nonsense, I was impressed with how the unit appeared to be designed. The gauge of the steel was heavy, the welds look good, and the manual is excellent. The finish on the replacement intake barrel was good. The finish on the original was fair to poor (rough surface where air would be flowing).Update: after all the hassle of replacing the intake barrel I got the machine assembled and running.I measured the noise level with my meter (keep in mind I have a small shop of about 20x12). It's reading about 87 dbA in operation. Before purchasing, Grizzly claimed it was 83 dbA at one meter (I called and asked, this isn't published). I am satisfied with this 87 dbA at 2 meters. I think it's reasonably close to what they had told me.The collector worked great - for a week. I then started hearing major squeaking from the motor when shutting down the machine that lasts for nearly a minute! After spending more time disassembling the motor w/ technical service on the line to trouble shoot it, we determined the bearings in the motor are bad.I'm now an official believer in all the hoopla about buying American motors. It is such a huge pain-in-the-($#((*$# to replace a motor of this size, I'll never mess with a second rate import motor again.I called back about getting the motor replaced and they told me they can't replace the motor w/o escalating this problem to their home office. The reason, again, being that I hadn't noted the exterior chinks in the packaging on the bill of lading at the time of delivery. In essence, it seemed to me they were saying "if you don't note package damage on the exterior of the box at the time of delivery, your warranty is void". This is despite the fact that I did take digital photos to note it's condition before opening the box and sent them to both Grizzly and Fed-Ex freight. Fed-ex sent out an inspector who seemed to agree with me that both Grizzly and Fed-Ex should take responsibility. As first observer, this looked like more of a problem on Grizzly's end than Fed-Ex.Update: the home office called stating they would pick up the defective motor, repair it, and send me the repaired motor back out. I found this objectionable because of all the previous hassle and additional downtime and asked that they send me a new motor before requiring me to send the old one back. Now waiting for them to get back to me. This motor is 8 feet in the air and probably weighs over 100lbs. It is a major undertaking to disassemble the dust collector and send it to them. I had to hire two additional guys to install it in the first place because I don't have a fork lift.Update 2: although the motor sounds like it has a the bad bearing and considering that I'm a light user of this tool, it is still operating reliably a few years after purchase.

After purchasing a new table saw in Dec. I decided to get serious and update the shop with a dust collection system. I had been looking at them for years and felt that the time was right for the performance and pricing that was available. After serious research into the subject, I ultimately selected the Grizzly over Clear Vue and Oneida. The machine was ordered in late Dec. and delivered about a week later in excellent shape. I also purchased the grizzly duct system for about $1500. Great stuff but pricey. The first day I assembled the unit with the help of one of my employees. The second day, I assembled the stand assembly and the problems started. I called Grizzly about a clearance problem with the stand when mounting the unit in the lower position. Sent pictures to show interference problems. Grizzly response was that I probably got the wrong filter brackets and they would send new ones. A week later got the replacement brackets and they were the same as the originals. Called Grizzly and they said they would refer the problem to corporate. After no response for a week, Grizzly finally admitted that there was a clearance problem and this was the first time they had run into the problem. I told them that I had assembled and disassembled this unit four times and I was awful tired of it and it's no easy task working on this thing from come-alongs suspended from the ceiling. After another week of delays, the Grizzly solution to my problem was to cut off the stand leg that interfered with the unit, which is what I ultimately did since I was out of time and it had been over a month since I received the unit. It is now working but I have limited time on the machine so I will wait before commenting on the performance of the machine. I own a Grizzly 8" jointer and a 17" drill press and they both are good machines. This particular piece of equipment is a huge disappointment. It in no way equals the advertised features of 360 degree rotation, high or low mounting of the machine, amperage requirements, and a somewhat poor manual.

I have been a skeptic of purchasing on line, especially items such as those from Grizzly. If they are defective, what recourse to you have, despite all the reviews indicating Grizzly has very good customer support.I ordered the dust collector and it arrived in mint condition. The manual was clear, although it is a manual for at least one additional dust collector and there were a couple of confusing areas. It went together without a hitch. When they recommend help in standing it up they are not kidding, it is very heavy, but once up, very stable. It sounds quiet to me, although I wear ear Protection whenever I operate any type of machinery in my shop. The finish is perfect and durable. One concern I did have was the plastic bag that catches the resideual dust under the filter, however this, again does not seem to be a problem. I collector I received did not have the noise reduction attachment despite that it was advertised to have one, however my point is I don't think it really matters one way or ther other. I am extremely pleased with this product and give it my full endorsement.
