Just interject an electrical problem or similar! Here is an honest
question: Is anyone experienced with the following dust collector?

I've read where people have bought it and replaced the filter with a
filter that cost more than $149.

I intend to try my ShopVac with a Rockler DIY dust-separator first and
see how that goes.

Please save your money on the rockler dust seperator.
Build a Thien separator, I did and it is awesome.
About $20 in parts, or $0 if you already have it.

I picked up a standard 30 gal steel trash can.
about 2 hours to make.



This is what I meant by "DIY dust-separator".

Did you buy your components separately?

I looked it up and the distinction with the "Thien separator" is the baffle.
The idea makes sense! There seem to be several approaches, so I'll do
more searching/comparing.

Anytime someone says "Please save your money..", I listen! Thanks!
