I'm re-configuring my shop to make room for the art glass workshop for my wife. I hate to give up any space but the girl has skills. I need to relocate the dust collector, and want to turn the motor / impeller assembly 180 degrees so the intake is on the opposite side. I called them and they declined to offer an opinion on modifying the machine: warranty issues and liability I'm sure. I can't see any harm in doing the mod, but maybe someone else has tried it and can report on the success or failure of the modification. The only problem I see is the paddle switch will be on the inside, and I may have to mount the assembly off center to avoid one of the separator bag supports.

Any comments?
