As anyone ever thought of replacing the cloth bag on a dust extractor with an air filter from a semi or some other big contruction equipment? Would that work? Would it provide enough protection? I've read that pleated filters give better performance than cloth bags but would this be a satisfactory replacement?
I have found that sometimes, the name or purpose given a specific item alters the price significantly even if the item is the same. My silver colored $9 bottle of table saw blade cleaner turned out to be no more than the supermarket's $2 bottle of oven cleaner for example. I also minutes ago read a post by someone looking for a cheap lathe where Darell suggested he check out the Palmgren 15" variable available at Amazon for $299. If I had know that grey paint cost so much more than blue paint, I wouldn't have given Sears $400 more than the Palmgren sells for! Damn!
Could a big truck's air filter cartridge be a good replacement for a cloth air bag?
