Dust collection is one of those enhancements shops put off upgrading until the mess forces the issue. The DC:15 from Laguna Tools is built for the shops that don’t want to wait that long, pairing a 1.5HP motor with dual 4-inch inlets and 1100 CFM of airflow in a single-stage unit priced for small and mid-sized operations.
Prewired for 120 Volt operation (can be rewired for 240 Volt), the DC:15 captures fine dust at 98% filtration efficiency down to 2 microns, keeping shop air cleaner without requiring a dedicated industrial setup. Its 39-gallon collection drum and 5.3 cubic foot bag capacity give it enough capacity to run through full shop days, while a manual dual filter paddle system keeps the filter clean for consistent air flow.
“A lot of small shops assume real dust collection means real money. The DC:15 was built to disprove that assumption. Two 4-inch ports and 1100 CFM is more than enough to run a small shop’s worth of tools without the shop needing an industrial budget,” said Jess Muehlfeld, Marketing Supervisor at Laguna Tools.
Key Features:
1.5HP Motor with 1100 CFM Airflow: Delivers strong suction through dual 4-inch inlets (Y-fitting configuration), giving shops the flexibility to run two machines off one collector without losing performance.
98% Filtration Efficiency at 2 Microns: Captures the fine dust that matters most for shop air quality and long-term health, not just the large chips and shavings.
Dual-Voltage Design (120V/240V): Ships prewired for 120V so it’s ready to run out of the box, with 240V capability built in for shops that want to switch later. Electrical rating of 120/240V, 60Hz, 11.5/5.7A.
39-Gallon Collection Drum with 5.3 Cu. Ft. Bag Capacity: Reduces how often the collector needs to be emptied during production runs.
Manual Dual Filter Paddle System: Lets users knock built-up dust off the filter media directly, maintaining consistent airflow without extra downtime.
Compact, Mobile Footprint: Built-in wheels and a 41″ x 20″ x 67″ footprint make it easy to reposition around a small or mid-sized shop. Net weight of 127 pounds keeps it manageable for one person to move.
The DC:15 will be available beginning September 1st through Laguna Tools and authorized dealers. To learn more, visit www.lagunatools.com.
