I have a Jet DC-1100C dust collector with a Red Dog pleated canister. Every time I empty it I have to dig out shavings from a packed canister. Has anyone else had this problem and what did you do to fix it ? I know i can go to a different style of dust collector but I'd rather find a solution with the equipment I have.
Some have suggested a certain kind of air flow deflector but has anyone actually found one as a solution ? I wonder about a vortex cone retrofit but, even if I can find such a beast, would it or, say, a Thien Baffle work better ?
I'd prefer not to have another piece of equipment, such as a separator, to have to purchase or find a place for. This is a nagging problem that's vexed me for quite a while. I've posted this question before but I'm wondering if anyone has solved such a problem.
