I clearly stand corrected from the point of view of the motor. But from the point of view of the effectiveness of the system more air is not necessarily a bad thing and less air is not necessarily a good thing.

I think I'm an expert too. I am an industrial electrician with more than 30 years of service in chemical/pharmaceutical industries. I spent the first 15 years working in a dry powder processing plant, phosphate detergents,with 17 buildings and more than 100 seperate dust collectors ranging in size from 3HP to one that was 500 HP. I have troubleshot, repaired, wired, unwired, amp-checked, and rebuilt more dust collectors than many of you will ever see.
And Ian, your right that air is needed to make the dust collector work correctly, I was only commenting on the motor, as you can see, motors are my life.
