The Craftex CT053 1 HP Dust Collector is one of Canada’s most popular dust collection systems for hobbyists and small shop woodworkers. Designed to provide effective dust and chip collection from a single machine at a time, it generates an impressive 570 CFM of airflow while operating at a relatively quiet 65 dB. Its 1-micron upper filter bag helps capture fine airborne dust, while the transparent lower collection bag makes it easy to monitor debris levels and know when it’s time to empty the unit.

Compact, lightweight, and powered by a standard 110V outlet, the CT053 is well suited for use with woodworking machines such as jointers, thickness planers, table saws, and other equipment equipped with a 4″ dust port.
