Dust collector maintenance
When I purchased my delta 1-1/2 HP dust collector, No maintenance
instructions came with it. Since hooking up a port an collection box at my lathe, I noticed the super fine sanding dust was starting to clog up my top bag. I would shake the bag and most of the fine dust would fall back into the collectionection (lower) bag. As soon as I would start the DC, most of the finer dust would go right back up into the top bag, and with in an hour or so, I could notice some loss of suction. What is the proper method of cleaning the top bag ?. My bag is a 5 mircon. Thanks in advance for any and or all replys. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

The coat of dust is supposed to help the filtering. I have not had much success with collecting lathe dust/chips. I end up standing in a foot of shavings, then sweep them up at the end of the day. |
