I bought an older dust collector. It is a Conover Woodcraft Specialties Model SF-209H 2 HP 12" Impeller – 8 Blade unit. There are 5? canvas/cloth tube-shaped bags on top, and a single large bag on the bottom. I don't think the suction is very strong. I just ordered the 12" Rikon impeller that people speak highly of. So same size, but different design, so I hope it helps.
For my next modification, should I consider different bags? I wonder if the airflow would be improved by replacing the cloth with something more modern. The unit is in its own enclosure tacked on to the outside of the shop area so as to keep the dust from the shop.
Anybody ever heard of these units?
Thanks
