POWERMATIC PM1300 Dust Collector
The POWERMATIC PM1300 is
designed to bring substantial
dust-evacuating suction with
effective filtering to your shop
and to pack those capabilities
into a durable, space-saving
package that accommodates
virtually any shop size and
needs.
The POWERMATIC PM1300 is
shipped as a bare machine
without a filter element or catch
bags allowing the buyer to
"design" the system they want.
The fabric filter and catch bag set
as well as the pleated canister
filter with 5 plastic catch bags
are sold as individual kits. This
allows the purchaser to save
money by getting the
POWERMATIC PM1300 with
the filter style wanted without
paying for and then discarding an unused "standard" filter and bag set.
Filtering Efficiency
The bag filter element is 20" in diameter and 48" in length. An upright hook is included to
support the bag when the POWERMATIC PM1300 is not running. A spring steel band clamp
secures the filter bag to the collector housing. The fabric collector bag has a spring retaining ring
sewn into its upper edge that fits into a groove in the collector housing making its installation
and removal tool free. Many manufacturers use an outside band for securing the collection bag
To help maintain the filtering efficiency a pair of hands (left) wipe
across the inside of the pleated canister element to knock off excess
buildup. The hands are operated by a simple turn of the exterior
handle (right). Giving the handle a single turn once per month is
adequate in most situations.
While the Powermatic DC1300 itself is identical in both pictures above, the
difference in the height of the fabric bag (left) vs. the canister style filter (right)
that can be very difficult to work with,
especially when done alone.
The bag type element filters out 96% of
30 micron particles.
The canister filter is 20" in diameter and
29" long. The canister mounts directly to
the collector housing and seals with a
factory installed foam gasket within the
canister flange. Four finger-operated
knobs lock the canister to the collector
is apparent.

The oval POWERMATIC sticker on the canister exterior can be easily peeled off the canisters wire mesh if one wants to remove any possible impact on performance though none has been recorded.
- Page 3 The inlet ports are mounted directly to the blower housing, putting them low on the POWERMATIC PM1300 and on an even plane with the dust outlets on many machines. This alignment keeps more of the hose flat on the floor for safety and eliminates much of the lifting loss higher inlet ports experience to enhance performance.
- Page 4 Mobility The POWERMATIC PM1300 is built on a heavy-duty base that features full-swivel, smooth-rolling casters at each corner. This base, along with the low center of gravity makes moving the POWERMATIC PM1300 around the shop effortless and safe. We also added a pair of handles to the collector housing...
