Good Morning Everyone,
I'm new here, I've reading this forum since last week, so forgive me if this question has been answered before.
I'm new on this of woodworking but I only do some work over the weekend at my garage due a full time work over the week.
I got the Harbor Freight Dust Collector and installed 4" PVC Ducts (now I know is not the best, so 5" upgrade will be soon) for my tools, at first I was using the bag and was working fine. over the last weekend I installed the Wynn Filter and also the Oneida Cyclone with a Drum but after that installation with a new bag the came with the Filter I can see some dust is still going to the bag, so my question is, that is normal or is not suppose to be any dust at the bag at all?
I checked the drum and 99% is all there...
I read somewhere that when using a cyclone it required more suction power and I was thinking that because my consumer table saw with 2.5 port is not letting enough air coming thru and maybe is the reason some dust (more fine one) maybe cannot down completely and is being sucked up, just thinking..
For example before install the filter/cyclone/drum I was able to see that if I open only the table saw port (2.5" i was able to see less air in the bag, but if I opened another with 4" that air was a lot more.
My tools are standard consumer with 2.5 ports and my miter saw that is 1.5" (worse)
Thanks everyone for your answers, I really appreciate.
Thanks,
Jose
