  • @Warshauer1 My caster dis line up, but they were a bit tough to get tightened up. Hopefully they will take care of the problem you had with yours. The bag was a pain to install. I used tape to hold it up while I put on the band. Since building my separator- I don't have to empty the bag now. You might check into building one. I have a series on building mine that may give you some ideas. Thanks for the post, G.

  • I wish I had seen this before I bought mine. Also got it on sale. The only problem I had with

    assembly, was that they must of changed vendors for their casters. The pre-drilled holes in the base did not line up. A step bit solved the problem.

    I had bought this just for my 15" planner, which is located in my garage and was too heavey to drag down to my basement shop. So far after a couple hundred board feet, the collector has kept up. The only issue is trying to put the bag back on.

  • @bkhofmann Good observation- and you are correct! It is running backwards based on it's design. I don't know how much efficiency is being lost- (maybe it's this way to keep the sound level down?) but it does work well for my purpose as it's assembled. Thanks for the post and keen eye! G.

  • The impeller is backward in comparison to the housing. The housing is designed for clockwise rotation (when viewing the impeller side), but the impeller should be turning counter-clockwise based on the curvature of the blades. It's a backward curved blade impeller.
