This model is great for medium sized jobs and is ideal for wood dust. The 3696 model comes with tube filtration which cleans with a 99% capture rate at 1 micron, making this model suitable for all wood applications. This model also comes standard with filter cleaner brush/handle, casters, and a rubber coated top.

Tube Filtration

Tube filters are great for wood applications and fine sanding dust.  Life expectancy of the tube filters is between 1-2 years with average use.  The dust is captured inside the tube and falls from the filters into the dust drawer below, when the machine is turned off.  A soft bristled brush (furnished with all tube filtration models) is used to run inside the filters, offering a deep cleaning procedure for the filters if needed.  The tube filters clean at a 99% capture rate at 1 micron, creating a much superior filtration than any pleated filters.
