TOP TOOLS AND PRODUCTS OF 2020
From the Editors and Contributors
In an effort to inform our readers about the latest and greatest, Popular Woodworking has surveyed the rich landscape of tools and equipment available and made our picks of woodworking tools of note for 2020. Here are some of our favorite tools and products we discovered over the last year.
Supercell Dust Collector
What happens when you turn dust collection technology on its head and replace a giant motor and impeller with three smaller motors working in tandem? You get the CFM of a dust collector and the suction of a shop vacuum. We did a more thorough write up of Oneida’s Supercell in the June 2020 issue, but we had to include it here, too. It’s such an amazingly well-designed and useful tool for a small shop. We’ve used it for everything dust-collection-related over the last year and it’s performed admirably with both 4" duct and hose down to 1" dia. hose hooked to portable power tools.
If you don’t need the portability of the one pictured here, you can save a few bucks and get a larger dust collection bin with the wall mount version – it definitely has the power to be a centralized collector in the home shop.
