Filter Bag Question - JHyde23 - 12-20-2017
Some mice ate my Central Machine #97869 dust collector filter bag while it was stored in my shed and I need to buy a replacement. I threw out the old one and the manual doesn't give me any specific information about size etc.
What type would you recommend I replace it with?
Also, I am going to set it up in my garage for use with various power tools. Things will move around a bit...any suggestions on how to flex pipe things together? I've got some 10' pieces of flexible corrugated drainage pipe that i was thinking of using. Obviously not as good as smooth wall PVC, but I bought it to relocate some insulation and it worked well.
I am a hobby woodworker...a project or two a month, so I don't need anything extravagant.

You could check out this company https://americanfabricfilter.com/filter-bags/ I have never used them but heard good things. You could also convert that dust collector to use a cartridge filter. There is a lot of info on the net about that conversion.

I cleaned an AFF bag once and was amazed how easy it was. There is a coating on the inside and you can just wipe the dust off. I can believe all the good things said about their filters.
Hope that helps. Let us know what you do.

On the other side- it's just cloth. For the time being, just sew up an old bed sheet to get you by until you find what you want.

theyre a little loose, but i run some clear packing tape along the joint after the strap is in place.
as far as the flex pipe, i think you can find something a little more user friendly then the drainage pipe.
