Why Do I Always Wait Too Long to Change The Dust Bag?

Post by algale »

I know the answer. It is because it is a messy chore. But by waiting until the DC3300 is over full, it just makes it a messier chore. I must remember to not wait next time!

I know the feeling. When I was working out of my garage with a JDS 1.5HP DC it was messy and a real pain to install the new bag. I always waited until it was absolutely necessary. The dedicated shop with the Clearvue cyclone solved that problem. The dust drum is 30 gal on castors. Just disconnect the 4" flex tube from the drum bell mouth and roll the drum over to the door. My wife and I can pick it up and carry it outside and dump it in our field. Very simple. On that note, the drum is almost full now and has been for a month or so. Time again. :)

Because the shop boy, you know the one we all have that comes by to clean our shop, always forgets it. And I really hate emptying those things. Mine always seem to be full at the exact moment that I am not in the mood to empty them. Of course I am never in the mood 😳
