N00b-in-training Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Does anyone have a source for off brand Jet Dust Collector bags? At $5 a piece the costs are starting to add up! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 I don't know what size you need but Penn State Industries has 15 - 25 gallon, 1 micron bags for $19.95 or 10 - 40 gallon bags for $21.95. https://www.pennstateind.com/store/filtration.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried that once and then spent 15 minutes cleaning up the mess! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I use these for years, They work fine, just not see through. Might try that. A little fearful for overfilling since I can't visually check it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliff Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 So how does one easily wrap that metal band around these bags to make them stay? The plastic bag that came with the HF model had no through holes and it was a pain to get the plastic on the thing and tighten the band around it. I'd be down for getting some of those bags off of amazon if I can figure out an easy way to attach the bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jet DC I have, DC-1100VX-5M, has a band that goes inside and pushes against the housing to hold it in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works much better then trying to get the bag to stay up in those weak little clips. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 My HF has 3 clips that hold the bag in place. Otherwise, call out the wife to give you a hand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have a good method of removing these bags on the jet dust collector ?, I can't seem to get mine out without destroying the bag.

Not sure how you're removing them but I've not destroyed one in the process yet (I've gone through 10 bags in 8 months or so). I ensure i leave enough of the bag folded over that it hangs below the steel ring. I then push that part of the bag toward the center and it snaps the ring out. I actually need to change one and I'll have my wife videotape the process. The bag is overly full so it's going to create a mess. Here you go. Not the best demonstration but hope you get the idea. https://vimeo.com/158267270 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you save $5 on a new bag. Just saying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeHoncho Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I've always put the plastic bag inside of the fabric one. Same bag for about 5 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'll just play with it some more, must be my technique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
