How many machines can I connect to the G5954 Dust Collector?
The G5954 can support up to four machines simultaneously, each requiring up to 1,205 CFM of airflow.
What is the maximum airflow and static pressure of this unit?
Airflow performance: 4,820 CFM
Maximum static pressure (at 0 CFM): 17 in.
What type and size of bags does this dust collector use?
Upper bags: 2 fabric bags, 25" diameter x 77" length
Lower bags: 2 plastic bags, 25" diameter x 52" length (26 cubic feet)
Filtration rating: 2.5 Micron
Replacement lower bags are plastic only, and no smaller micron options are available.
Can I use a smaller micron bag without affecting performance?
Yes. Using a smaller micron bag has very little effect on airflow, as smaller openings are compensated by a higher number of pores per square inch.
What materials can the G5954 handle?
This is a wood-only dust collector and is not designed to handle smoke, fine floating dust, or non-wood materials. Its suction is limited to the immediate area around the hose opening.
What are the inlet and adapter sizes?
Main inlet size: 9 in.
Number of adapter inlets: 4
Adapter inlet size: 4 in.
The unit includes inlet adapters for easy connection to your machines.
What is the motor size and electrical requirement?
Motor: 5 HP, TEFC capacitor-start induction
Voltage: 220V, single-phase
Amps: 34A
Full-load current rating: 34A
Power transfer: Direct drive
Note: Requires a minimum 40A circuit. The unit comes prewired with a 10 ft., 12 AWG cord, but the plug is not included.
How do I properly ground my dust collector system?
Run a bare copper wire through the inside of the hose, connecting one end to the dust collector and the other to the machine.
Additionally, spiral a separate wire around the inside of the hose every 6–8 inches. For full guidance, refer to the G2525 Dust Collection manual.
What is the overall size and setup time of the G5954?
Dimensions: 55” W x 49” D x 130” H
Assembly & setup time: Approximately 1 hour
What are the construction and safety features?
Upper bags: Fabric
Lower bags: Plastic
Base: Steel sheet metal with casters for mobility
Frame: Formed steel
Impeller: 13" radial fin, steel, 3/32" blade thickness
Sound rating: 80–90 dB
Switch type: Magnetic switch with thermal overload protection
Where is the G5954 manufactured?
This unit is manufactured in Taiwan at an ISO 9001 certified factory.
