Stricklines Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 I just picked up an old jet dc 650 dust collector. Does anyone have suggestions for where to buy 1 micron dust bags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virginia Mark Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 There's always Amazon. I ditched the dust bag on my HF dust collector and went to Wynn Environmental and bought a pleated cartridge filter, it works fantastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gotten to the point twice, where mine just completely quit sucking because the filter was packed. For those of you that have these filters, how do you clean them? I've had to beat, scrape and blow, using a respirator. Mine too is on a HF dc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendon_t Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Btw, I believe the 650 is the 1 hp model, you may want to reconsider the 1 micron bag as it can severely choke up your system. I have a 1.5hp powermatic unit that I put a 5 micron bag on up top and the drop in suction was very evident. If you have a 1 micron bag, fine dust could choke you up pretty quickly.

Virginia Mark Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 I take the collector bag off the bottom of the unit and use my ridgid shop vac with one extension tube on and the 2" wide attachment and carefully suck the dust out from between the pleats. It's a pain in the ass because it's really hard to see what your doing. Ken, I think the best way to solve our filter clogging problems is adding a cyclone to the system so the dust drops into a container before it gets to the filter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridnharley Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 I added a cyclone to my HF collector. Don't even need a filter now. I shoot my air outside the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stricklines Posted February 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 I received the bag amd it is working well. Can anyone give more details on the cyclone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robby W Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Take a look at the Super Dust deputy from Oneida-air.com. It works pretty well. Pay a lot o attention to keeping hose lengths short or even better, plumb it with rigid ductwork. That will help make up for the losses of the cyclone.

A possible answer to your original question might be something like this, http://www.grizzly.com/products/Replacement-Canister-Filter-for-G0583Z/T23129. This was a direct fit for my HF DC.

Virginia Mark Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 A cheaper version of a cyclone is this http://www.woodcraft.com/product/143290/trash-can-cyclone-lid.aspx, you use a metal trash can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
