Woodmaster Dust Collector

[Richard Wolf]

I'm in the process of building a new shop, we moved again, and I stumbled upon this dust collector. I know the filter bag is not going to stop the fine stuff, and it's not a cyclone, but at 71 and a life time of woodworking the damage is done. I'm looking for something to keep the shop cleaner more than anything else. Any experience with this machine;https://www.woodmastertools.com/shop/accessories/3hp-full-shop-dust-collection-system/

That CFM rating is pure fantasy, I suspect well over double what it will pull with the bag & minimal ducting in place.

Looks like a Cincinatti Fan blower. I would add either a Thien baffle, or cyclone to inlet side, and replace filter bag with something from American Filter Fabrics.
