Title: Pre vs. Post impellor placement, Is there a difference?
Post by: Rob Faucett on July 05, 2010, 09:23:24 AM
Hello all - I have a JET DC-1100CK and am planning to install a PTS.  Is there a performance difference between installing the separator over a trash can (pre-impeller) vs. over the collection bag (post-impeller)?  I've seen both posted here, the "post impeller" model is definitely more compact.

Thanks
Rob

Is the goal to empty the "lower bag" less often or clean the filter less often?  Or both ("pre-impeller")?

All of the above and to keep stuff out of the impeller.  I use it for floor sweeping at times, and hence pickup chips, pieces of cutoffs, and I feel it keeps it out of the impeller.  Garbage can cheaper than new impellers, although they are robust.
