I recieved this PM from a NEW member to the forum (Dec 2009).

Hi Robert,

I am new to the forum and in reading the discussion on HF's 2HP DC, came across your offer
for mailing the coupon in Wood magazine's Oct/Nov issue.

Do you still have that and is your offer still open?

Thanks!

(removed name)
P.S. We just moved to CT after buying our first house, so am eager to get started on woodworking.

As you can see this is a NEW Woodworked in a NEW home.

I mailed my HF coupon from the November issue of WOOD Magazine to another member in November.

Can anyone help with the coupon?
Bob

Thanks for posting this, Bob!

I ordered a back issue of the magazine for $11. It comes in about 3 days. Got my dust collector Saturday.

As of last week, my local lowes still had two-packs of Wood magazine and a "best shop plans" supplement. The Wood issue that is/was in the two-pack is the Nov one with the chest on the front (I believe) and the HF ad in it has the DC coupon.

here ya go

Thanks much, Mike! I'd read somewhere that HF does not accept any coupons except the originals but will give it a shot.

Thanks Mike for stepping up to the plate.
Neeraj, as long as the bar code can be scanned it should work.

But Gerry pointed you to another direction and you have lots of time to get a copy.
$11 for $110 off regular is better then any bank.

But I can not believe that after 190 views in 19 hours and not one
woodworker would mail you a copy as I did to another.

Hope you get your HF DC.

All I've got is an expired one. Doesn't really seem helpful to offer to mail that, does it?

I did what I could. Which was to tell the OP where a coupon might be found.

Neeraj, I have one from Popular Mech. It expires 1/8/10 PM me an address if you need it and I will overnight to you. I would think you'll have it on the 6th or 7th. I have the HF DC and am happy with it, last night I sent a 1/2" deep well socket into it, shut it down after it hit the impeller 4 times. Got a few small nicks/dents but after removing the socket it runs just fine. Good luck Pat

by the way it's a 20% off coupon...

[Neeraj Juneja]

I am traveling the next 3 days so won't be able to use it even if you overnight it. But thanks for the offer, Pat!

harbor freight should take the printed dust collector coupon no problem.

the coupons they send out in emails have that same disclaimer on the bottom. theres obviously no original in that situation

How is your HF dust collector going? Are you using the Wein (sp) filters? I am looking for the lest expensive way to collect dust for my garage. I currently have nothing. Is the HF really good enough or should I pass and go with one of the big names???

[Pat O'malley]

Hi Jack, I'm very happy with it. It is my first DC so I don't have anything to compare it to. I bought a 1 micron bag off Amazon, and may upgrade to a Wynn filter sometime in the future. I would recommend it to others. Pat

I have the HF 2Hp DC, fitted with the Wynn canister filter and a Thien separator. It is every bit as effective as a friends Delta 50-760.

The least expensive way to collect your dust is to to a HF DC, with a Thien or similar pre separator, then run the DC itself outside the working area and blow the fines out the door... However this removes a LOT of conditioned air...

The next cheapest route is to do the same, but replace the stock filter bag with a 1 micron bag from Highland Hardware (about $30.00). The extra $$ for the Wynn 35A cartridges are worth it though, they really do help with airflow performance as well as filtration.

Thanks for the reply. I did a search today on HF dust collector modifications and found some good information and they all used the Wynn filters and Thein baffle. I will keep my eyes open at HF and get one on sale with the coupon. I was also going to get a 3m 7500 series half mask respirator with p100 filters to help protect with fine dust until I can afford to get a Air Cleaner. I would make an air cleaner myself but I suck at electrical stuff. About the only thing I can do as for electrical is plug in an EXTENSION CORD !
