These are 6 or 7 mil, 40 gallon, clear plastic, trash can liners to mount on
the dust collectors like the Delta 1 1/2 hp.
Amazon has them for $5 apiece.
There must be a place to buy these much less expensively?.
All I found on google were commercial quantity size boxes with 100s of bags
and 100s of dollars. I probably only need a dozen.
Hardware store only has black and not the thickness. The thickness is
important to prevent tearing when the odd screw or shart wood ship flys into
the bag.
Any experience buying these clear bags for dust collector?

Do they really need to be clear? I think the bulge should be sufficient and
then the 4mil 44 gallon Contractors Bags that are at the Borg will work.

Poke it and check for firmness.

My wife didn't buy that technique, either!

Maybe you should not have been poking her with a pointy stick. ;~)

Buy the thickest, low cost ones you can find and just double bag or triple
bag them. I use contractors bags from Sam's on my small Jet DC (1.5HP) and
just doubled the bags.

Test by letting it run for awhile and punch the bag to see if it bursts. If
it does, add another bag. If you have a bigger DC like my 2.5HP then place
a metal garbage can (30 gal) where the lower bag goes and place the bag in
the can then fasten it to the DC. The can helps from the bag from blowing
out on startup. Admittedly - I stopped using the cheapo bags on the bigger
DC when I blew one out and the bag was about half full. Sure made a
mess...;-)

Just use a thinner clear bag to line the inside of your existing bag.
I put a cannister filter on the top of my old double bagger DC and
lined the bottom bag with a plastic trash bag. Works like a champ.

Hey TSR80,
Here is a link to American Fabric Filter Company. I had purchased
some custom bags for my two DC systems and they also sent a PDF
showing the plastic bags they sell. Great company, excellent customer
service over the phone. Hope this is helpful,

Marc
(and I like to watch it fill up too!)

You could always buy a box of 500, then repackage in lots of 10 and
sell on Craig's List.

Would not be the first time a business got started that way, including
the Wooster Brush Company.

The founders bought a couple of crates of unknown stuff at a freight
liquidation auction.

Turns out the "stuff" were hog bristles from China.

As they say, the rest was history.

I've done the same thing, only left the top bag in place(No canister).
Saves having to shake the **** out of the bottom bag when emptying.
