Dust Collector for Big CNC [Red Tag]

I’m pretty sure while the dust collector is running, it’s not doing a good job collecting chips. Maybe someone can look into this and double check.

I used it a couple days ago and cleared a complete blockage on the elbow to get any flow. Probably worth taking apart to verify it didn’t get clogged again. Then I guess check the filter.

That filter likely needs a cleaning. It’s not not huge so once a month it’d be good to open the top (need a wrench) and clean out the filter.

I started working on it, today, but someone(*) came in to use the CNC, so I only got about 1/3 of it done.

I have a “before” picture, but I can’t seem to add it, here.

(*) He had signed up for it, but was late, so I was hoping that he wouldn’t come in and I’d have more time.
