My Thien baffle single stage Delta 50-840

[Howard Miller]

I was given a Delta 50-840 DC, so I decided to add a Wynn filter and Thien baffle . This was a enjoyable project. Due to the weight of the cartridge filter on top, I need to add a vertical support to the side of the round DC section. I am using clear bag, which came with the Wynn filter for bottom. Wynn was great to deal with. The owner called me on two different occasions to answer questions.

very nice! I did something very similar for my 3hp double bag DC unit.

Have you tested it out yet? how does it work for you?

[Howard Miller]

Peter,
Have not had opportunity to test, but will over Christmas.

How is your system working?

Mine is working great, although I do have some air leaks I need to take care of where the "donut" meets the "drum" if that makes sense. I should be able to caulk it off (I hope) because I can see that fine dust is escaping.

But it seems to be separating the fine dust from the big stuff fairly well. I haven't used it a ton yet, but eventually I'll take one of the filters off and bang it out to get a sense for how much dust is getting to the filters

I did a very similar modification about a month ago. So far it is working great. With a few gallons of sawdust in the bottom bag, I cannot detect any dust up in the filter - I'm sure some is there, I think this is a very worthwhile mod. My DC had an air ramp, so the modification was not so straight forward.
I have to echo the comments about Wynn filter, great people to deal with.
