one more DC question from me

Hey C & E,
That looks like a good site but my home computer is acting weird again-
probably dust from my woodshop- so I'll have to explore its links at
work. Other suggestions from other folks did not yield any 1 micron
bags that would fit right on. Maybe I'll just have to go with a 30 if
Processys does not come through. Another thought i had was to route
the older DC to a home made filter box with several filter elements in
a stack.

Another one of those things that isn't up to Toller standards. I guess he
should just throw it away.

TOLLER, PULL YOUR HEAD OUT.

I bought my 1 micron bag off of the shelf at the local Rockler store.
Don't know if you have a store you could visit, or if there is a similar
product in their catalog. I understand that there ARE mail order sources
for these, however.

PennState used to carry one; don't know if they still do.
I doubt a 3/4 hp DC is really worth upgrading though.

Boy, I was sure Grizzly had a one mic bag - didn't check just now, tough.
You could check with these folks http://www.processsys.com/dust.htm who
members of Woodnet said were easy to deal with and willing to make mods.
