Dust Collector Blow out

[hotpop]

Got about 50 hrs. on my machine. Blew a hole in my dust collector bag the size of my thumb from the motor exhaust. I cut a piece of aluminum flashing to fit the bottom inside the bag so the sawdust has something to bounce against. Seems to work!:)

Just wondering if there has been complaints about this.

The bag on my first machine lasted in good shape for almost 200 hours. The one on this machine had holes at 20 hrs. Wife made me a new one in 10 min. with her sewing machine. Better than new! :rolleyes:

Mine has almost 180hrs on it, dont use it now though, hooked it up to my dust collector, no worries at all now.

Hey,

My bag is still good, but the two halves wound'nt stay together the exhaust kept blowing it off. But ducktape fixed that. Mike

Guess China is getting cheaper with there stuff. Mine is new this month and the bag blew in less than 8 hours. Guess I shouldn't have cleaned it between uses with a vacuum
