You don't have to take them off. They have a shaker arm which will knock the dust out of them. I'll take an air compresser and blow from the outside in afterusing the shaker arm each time I empty the bags
I just watched your video. Great job! I just purchased that same remote switch. How did you connect yours to the contactor switch? I hooked mine up at the 220v outlet, but the switch needs to be physically pushed in order to engage the magnetic contactor. Thanks in advance for any feedback you can provide.
Thanks John. I ran a 10 2 cable from a 220v breaker to the remote switch and then ran another 10 2 cable between the remote switch and a 220 outlet. Hope that makes sense. I intentionally did not show the wiring of the switch in the video. I know how to do wiring but every state has different codes and regulations and I didn't want to cause someone any issues because they thought what I done was OK anywhere. So just as a disclaimer, follow the guideline codes, regulations and restrictions for your state or country on any electrical wiring
any regrets using this vs a cyclone? This unit has way more suction than a cyclone unit, but everyone raves the cyclone models. Ive seen these types of units used over and over with fantastic large volume suction.
I was using a 6hp shop vac with a dust deputy. So this was a HUGH improvement over it. I actually still use the shop vac for smaller tools. But I really like this system. It serves me well. I am running a table saw, 8 inch jointer, 2 planers, bandsaw and a router table on this one and it does well
That 3hp should serve you really well and that cyclone kit will be the best money you’ve speed
It seems to be doing great so far. I am so glad I finally did it. Our blast gates are still better though
@@hammerdownwoodworkingtracy3679 yea can’t beat the gates. And the filters are awesome
does make me wonder just how much more suction would be gained if you were to switch over to a 6 inch diameter line through the shop
A 4 inch would be better. I don't know how a 6 would work.
Very nice and nice demonstration
Thank you
Just discovered your channel. I subscribed. Looking forward to checking out your work
on them bags i just use some cheap magnets to hold it in place until i band it.
That's what I am now doing myself.
Hey thanks for the great ideas. I have a shop like yours its a 24x30 and I've been wondering how to put in a dust collection system so thanks again.
Thank you. Glad I could help.
That thing is sweet!!! If I was to get one for my small shop I'd have to get rid of my table saw and jointer so I could fit it in. lol!!!
how often have you had to take off and blow out the tall filters?

@@hammerdownwoodworkingtracy3679 That sounds good. I was worried about blowing out the remote receiver by doing it that way. I'll do the same. Thanks!
BTW where did you get the devices that you used on the metal drum I need to get me some. Rockler ?
