Laguna MDC3560-0145 DC : Where do I get parts

[dirk martin]

I've got the 3HP cyclone dust collect from Laguna, model MDC3560-0145.
It's been discontinued from Laguna's lineup.

I'm wondering where I can get a new barrel, or where I can get the wire cage that goes in the barrel.
Anyone know?

Have you contacted Laguna?

Of course, and they said that they no longer carry parts for this model.

You don't have to use Laguna parts for the bin or the bag holder. For instance, here's a current thread about DC bins. https://sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?276656-Dust-collection-barrel

'Had to ask... ;)

Jamie is correct...you should be able to use a variety of commonly available stuff to replace the bin if it needs to be replaced for some reason. 35 and 55 gallon containers are somewhat standard. Worse case, you may need to re-engineer the connection to the cyclone if Laguna did something, um...one-off...in their design.

Thanks.
I guess this barrel is 60 gallon.
It's that "cage" that goes inside the barrel that has me stumped mostly.
I'll check out the link that Jamie posted, to see if cages like that are avail elsewhere.
I'd like to start using bags in the barrel, but I need that cage, to hold it down.
