My Delta 2 bag dust collector has been noticeably poor at picking up
dust lately. The ductwork was clean. I have a home made chip
separator but I checked the vanes and they were clean. Both bags were
clogged with dust. I beat them with no change in suction.
This morning while my bride was still asleep I took the bags off and
shook everything off that would shake off, brought them in and ran
them through the washer and the dryer. I believe in a variant of
"Don't Ask--Don't Tell". It is simply "Don't Ask, and she can't say no".
They came out like new with no damage to the appliances and the dust
collector works like a new one again.

Good for you! ;~)

I have a single pleated filter and it is going on 8 years old. I wonder
how long those last. I probably suck up 100 gallons of dust a year with
that unit.

are you saying you dodged her bullet or the bullet of spending money
on repairs for the collector

if you mean her bullet you should remain vigilant for a few more
days

they have ways of finding out you know

Lets see.

Invert bag inside out. under it is a propane torch gassing for a
second. Then insert with protection...danger... and poof the dirt is
blown out from the outside of the bag blowing it the way it came in.

Go much gas and you get to buy a new bag. Or your beloved needs to find
a new wood worker.

I know not everyone can do it, but IF you can, duct your DC outside the shop and have it discharge in a small enclosure, with enough space at the bottom to keep back pressure from cutting down on the CFM. Even having the pipe shoot into a 39gal trash can, with a good 8-10 separation between the pipe and the top of the trash can, will give you quite a bit of back pressure, hence cutting down on the CFM

If I was out in the country I would just take the bags off and let it
go. But I have neighbors and keep the bags partly to keep the dust
down outside and partly to help muffle the sound. The whole unit is
outside the shop. I can't imagine having one inside with that whine.

The problem with venting outside that you'll suck out the good air
(heated or air conditioned) and it'll be replaced with the bad
(hot/humid or cold). I thought about putting the DC in a shed but
decided that it was a really bad idea. I do have it in the next room,
though it's still part of the shop.

Does yours actually whine? No doubt, but mine often runs constantly
between on and offs of the equipment. While not quiet it is quieter
than one of my Home Depot fans. And no whine.

Dust collectors whine but they don't get mad. More importantly, they
don't get even.

FWIW, I built one of the Bill Pentz DCs that Echols was selling a while
back (before it came out that Echols was not compensating Pentz). It
more rumbles than whines--definitely not high pitched.

Only had one neighbor complain. She's dead now.

Wow! That is loud!

Shockingly loud. I often forget that mine is running although it is not
quiet but not uncomfortable at all.

Mine is just annoying, nothing worse. It's certainly not going to kill
a neighbor! ;-)

It's annoying enough that I have an RF switch glue to a magnet that I
stick to the side of the table, so it's in easy reach. I don't shut it
off between cuts but I will if I have to change the setup.
