Re: Recycling a DC?

Sure you did. A 8a 2hp motor; another HF miracle breakthrough. And the canvas dust bag is nice too. The only good thing about is that the motor is too feeble to spread the dust very far.

I just bought a new 2 HP DC at Harbor Freight for $180.

I am asking $225 for my 2hp (okay it is only 16a, but it could be 2hp) cannister DC on craigslist but am getting no response. Next try would be eBay, but I don't want to go there for an item that can't be shipped. So, I am thinking of recycling it.

Assuming I can get the RPMs worked out, would it be reasonable to use the motor on my 1hp jointer? Would it cut better with the added power?

Use the cannister and lower bag as a filter on a vacuum? Would the added filter area help the suction any?
