Please forgive if this is answered somewhere else; I searched to no avail, both on and off this forum, and am kind of surprised the following question seems not to have been discussed.
I have a Harbor Freight DC and long ago abandoned the bag filter filter for a Wynn cartridge. Is there is a good reason the Thien baffle cannot be built and attached underneath the ring that comes with this DC? I understand this puts the baffle and the chip collection container, in this case just the usual plastic bag, on the exhaust side of the blower and makes the impeller subject to "chunks", but aside from that I see no reason not to put it there. Am I missing something fundamental? In my case, the DC serves only a table saw, and occasionally, a jointer. A separate air cleaner runs for airborne dust.
Thanks...
