I hope that by "the small Jet to hook up to my machines" you are meaning a dust collector. I'm gonna assume you are.
The tests/reviews I've read over the past couple of years put the JDS ahead of Delta and Jet units. I had this info in mind when I ran across a "new-in-box" JDS unit at an estate auction and bought it. It's been wonderful. Of course "wonderful" doesn't have any quantifiable capacity or efficiency attached to it, LOL! I relied on the reviews for that.

For an ambient air cleaner, do an Advanced Search (Knots) under my name with the subject Air Scrubber. I give detailed instructions/designs forbuilding a top performing shop-built unit.
