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.



It is interesting that the only cleaning advice the manual gives is to
turn the bag inside out and shake it.

If I were you, I'd take the unit outside, mount the bag inside out and
run it for a while. I don't know that it will help, but it shouldn't
make it any worse than it is now.
