Hey, my friend gave me his old Jet DC650.
It's the 30 micron size. So until I get a new job I'm not putting a
pleated filter on it.

I would like to use it for my planer, its the only machine that I
have a problem getting all the chips from. He used this for sanding
balsa dust and put it in another room.

even after beating the bags outside this still blows a ton of dust on
start up.
Can I wash the bags?
I only plan on doing chips from the thickness planer, so I am thinking
not much dust, just chips.

There's just too big a cloud of dust coming from this now.

When I get another job, I'll put a pleated on it.

Have you tried hitting it with your air hose Jeff?


Not yet. Seems like a lot of surface to blow ... but maybe that might
be the safest way.
Or I guess I could drag the unit back up stairs and invert the bags and
turn the unit back on.
