Overview

Ditch the Bag and Get the HEPA Solution!

Standard cloth bag filters are a huge pain for woodworkers as fine dust can quickly clog the machine, causing suction loss and blowing the finest dusts (which are the most hazardous to your health) back into the air. That's why Oneida Air offers a convenient dust collector retrofit for both hobbyist and commercial shop owners alike. Simple to install, this kit will help you keep your shop (and your lungs) clean, healthy, and productive!

Unlike spunbond or nanofiber models, this HEPA-grade media cartridge filter requires no "seasoning" or filter-cake to reach peak filtration efficiency. It captures particles as small as 0.3 microns right out-of-the-box and immediately after cleanings. Read more about The Advantages of Oneida Air Systems' HEPA-Grade Media Filters »

FAQ

How is the filter cleaned if it doesn't have the typical hand crank?

The use of hand cranks that "beat" the filter can damage the filter's pleating material overtime, so our systems are not built with such mechanisms. Click "Read More" to read about recommended filter cleaning techniques.

How often should I clean the dust collector's cartridge filter?

This can vary widely depending on how often your dust collector is used and what kind of dusts it's exposed to but you should typically clean it only once you've noticed a considerable drop in suction performance. In our experience this can be around once per year, but with heavy amounts of sanding it could be as often as once per month. A meter such as our Filter Efficiency Gauge can also be used to monitor pressure buildup and inform you when the filter needs to be cleaned.

How do I clean this filter?

Clean this filter using compressed air blown from the outside of the filter. Click "Read More" for further instructions.

Why should I upgrade my single-stage filter?

Standard single-stage dust collectors are typically equipped with a cloth bag filter rated for particles 1 micron in size. While effective for trapping some dusts, they still let through the smallest particles that are in fact the most damaging to your health as they can become deeply lodged within your sinus cavities. Additionally, many wood dust have been shown in studies to be carcinogenic. This independently certified HEPA filter captures 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns (the same level of filtration used in hospital environments) so woodworkers can rest assured that their hobby won't hurt their health.

When should I replace this filter?

With regular maintenance, our cartridge filters can easily last up to 5 years. Your filter should only be replaced if thorough cleanings do not help to restore your suction performance.

Which dust collectors does this filter work with?

The outside diameter of your collector's barrel must measure between 14" to 20-1/4" for the filter bracket to fit onto. A base plate adapter is included with this kit to create a flat surface for the filter to mount onto if necessary. The barrel's inside orifice (which is usually smaller in diameter to prevent dust from below swirling upwards) cannot be bigger than 13" in diameter. Refer to the product's Owner's Manual for more information. Click "Read More" for images.

Will this retrofit filter affect my airflow?

Yes, it will improve it! This product has a significantly higher filtration surface area compared to cloth bags, which allows a higher volume of air to pass through and reducing pressure buildup.
