I have heard, don't hold me to it, the Harbor Freight reclaimer actually works quite well

Not sure about your area but there are TONS of used nice dust collectors on Craigslist up here. I plan to buy one of them and use it for a blast cabinet when I get my barn built.

Whatever you buy, just stay away from HF vacuum/blaster , it does not blast and I can't say the it vacuums well either.I even tried using it as dust collector with blasting cabinet,after I let go of the trigger, it takes at the least a minute to suck the dust out so you can see what's going on in the cabinet ,it does not keep up at all. Spend your money on good quality dust collector.
