Until I get a canister, are there any low micron bags to replace the 30 micron stock bag ona JET 1100A? Did searches on ebay and Amazon, but no luck. I've heard talk of felt bags around here?

AAF bag.

Great customer service.

My bag is larger than the stock bag that came with my DC.
It's oddly shaped - sort of like a mushroom.
Needed a new support rod for it. I used electrical conduit and a pipe bender.

It's still a bag though - it let's the evil, very fine stuff through.

BUT....

DON'T go to a cartridge filter - that was my first configuration.
I suspended it inside a fibre drum so I could have the dust hit the more widely-spaced outer pleats and it clogged within THREE days.
After about five months of cleaning it out every few days, I retired it and bought the AFF bag.

FWIW, I suspect cartridge filters with integral paddles would still clog up pretty quickly and badly.

American Felt and Fabric has replacement bags. Woodcraft has replacement bags, and Penn. Just the few that I know of off hand.
