Where do I get new clear poly bags for my HF 70g 2hp dust collector

[Gene Davis]

Harbor Freight does not show anything on their website.

Who has the bags? I just put the bag that came with the unit, out on the curb for collection, full.

[Scott DelPorte]

You might want to transfer the waste to a regular garbage bag for collection, and then re-use the clear poly bag that came with the unit. I usually just dump the chips in the woods and re-use the bag.

What Scott said but I would bet money that it's pretty much the same bag for any of the common "single-bagger"-type DC's from Delta, Jet, et al. Have you tried sourcing those out?

This is what I use.

When I purchased my cannister filter from Wynn Environmental, I also ordered a set of heavy (4 mil) clear plastic collection bags to replace the non see-through bag that came with my Jet DC. They're listed at $17 for 10 bags, which isn't too bad. I'm still on my first one after 8 or 10 changes--when it gets full I take it off the DC, dump the contents into a Hefty-style yard/shop bag, and then reattach it.

the bags fill so quick, it's too expensive IMO to toss em. I try and reuse as well. I just take it into my back yard and dump them in the wooded area. If I had to, I would do like the others and transfer to a garbage bag

I have the Thien separator and only have to empty the HF bags about once a year. I do have to empty my 30 gal barrel about once a week or more.

Dust collection bags can be bought on ebay. Measure them flat and then search. A 6mil thick bag is a nice HD dust bag.

Gene, I have a Jet 1100-C. I put these bags from Plastic Place ($36.47/100) inside the heavy bags and just re-use the heavy bags. They last a year or more that way. I just take the liner bags out when full and sell the shavings to horse boarders for $1/bag. This works well for shavings but not for fine sawdust.

Thanks for all the replies. I shopped the Wynn site, but the UPS charge was almost the $17 for the ten bags. I paid about $18 for five bags on Amazon, including shipping which was free due to my Prime.

I think by the time I go through the five, I will have built a Thien for a galvanized can, and upgraded to a Wynn 35a filter.

I use the paper yard bags from the BORG directly on my DC and when full just fold the top down on the bag and tape it and set it at the curb for regular trash pickup. You give up visibility of the level in the bag, but I sure like the convenience. At $0.40 per bag, it's not too costly.

Here's the thread where I show setting that up on my DC.

[Paul Bylin]

I have the same HF dust collector and I just use contractor trash bags. There not clear, but you can feel how much is in the bag pretty easy and the bags are cheap.

[Alan Schwabacher]

When I had an HF DC, I simply used two nested clear trash bags with some air between them. If a bag got punctured, the separation between bags disappeared, and it was obvious before both layers were compromised.

I bought a case of thick clear bags form U-line for my Jet 1100 Canister. The supply has lasted me several years.
