2 hp harbor freight dust collector

[justin waldron]

Ok, I have to admit, I have used the same clear bag over and over again for almost a year now, just dumping it into the trash cans when full, however, my trusted bag has sprung a hole.  Why am I not surprised that Harbor Freight doesn't sell the replacement clear bags?  I know quite a few folks have bought this machine, any idea where to get replacement bags?  I appreciate the help!!

Thanks a ton, I was a little shocked that HF didn't sell them, but the lady was nice enough to swear that a cloth table saw bag is what I was looking for. LOL

Little trick as far as bags breaking. I have found out that if you put your bag inside of a 33 plastic garbage can and set this in your frame ,that way when your bag is full just take the can and all out and dump it. I have cut a vertical slot on side of can you can see when it is getting time to dump.
Maybe you already have this setup I dont no . I no one thing since I added the cyclone garbage can lid can my plastic bag is not filling up as quick

I haven't taken the time to get my seperator finished yet, but that is something I need to do and never did think of the trash can idea, I will use that too. I went to Grizzly, do all clear lower bags fit the HF?

I would measure the ring on the collector and look for a bag that size I would think 20" or so Ill measure mine and see if I can help you out

Justin I bought my bags to replace the original ones on my total shop dust collector from penn state industries. I also built a cyclone that was featured in in wood magazine. no chip get in the dust collector bags only fine dust.
