Highland Woodworking 1 Micron Bag

[Justturnin]

Does anyone use the 1 Micron bag offered by Highland woodworking? I am looking to upgrade the 5 Micron bag that came w/ my DC and found this one. I was about to drop $50 on another then I found this one for $30.

It is a 3 micron bag -- the rating is when new and they are anticipated to get better with a cake, but the dust comes off the they let the larger stuff through.

You might want to consider upgrading to a cartridge.

Best performance over time = cartridge


And remember you only have one set of lungs.


The option is a filtering face mask like the 3M or Trend Pro.

Even better since they are of a better standard than the after market or the ones supplied with dust collectors from overseas.
