I’m breaking down and planning to up my portable (kinda) dust collector to a modified unit with canister filter, Thien baffle on a trash can and, if possible upgraded impeller.
I’ll be putting an amp meter to my Delta 50-850 tomorrow (1-1/2 HP) to see what its draw is. I’ve seen many posts that the HF only draws 13-15 amps while running suggesting it is more in the 1.5HP club. I’ll be curious to compare with my old Delta.
I have seen many posts about people upgrading the impeller on the HF 2HP unit to a 12” that can be bought from Rikon or Wen. Does anyone happen to know if the same can be done to my Delta??
Lastly, I’m trying to think of a configuration that would allow everything to go on one mobile platform. I’ve seen some instances of the can supporting the Thien baffle which supports the motor which then has a hose connection over to filter/bag. I like that but can’t think how pulling the can out from all that weight would work. Thoughts? Also, can a can liner be used in the can or would it destroy the spiraling air flow?
Many questions! Thanks for your thoughts!
