Customised dust extraction

should be alright…I,m sure other LJs have done it to.

-- IF YOUR NOT MAKING DUST...YOU ARE COLLECTING IT! SOUTH CAROLINA.

cartridges are designed to be cleaned. my jet cartridge has flappers inside that can be rotated via a handle to loosen dust and particles. with a cyclone (like an oneida SDD) that should be less of an issue as most of the particulate matter drops out of the air stream before it gets to the blower, which is before the filter.

as far as mounting the blower/motor assembly 90° relative to it’s OEM configuration, i’d check with the manufacturer. conceivably, the bearings would be subject to forces different than were anticipated in the original design. they should be able to confirm if the anticipated mounting would present any unfavorable issues.

-- there's a solution to every problem.......you just have to be willing to find it.

Many an LJ have converted their DCs, with no problem.

My reconfiguration, included a Wynn Enviromental 35A274NANO cartridge filter, Thein pre-seperator and motor/fan reorientation:

For cleaning the cartridge, I need to remove the filter and bring outdoors…..
There are some manufacturers that have a paddle/brush, inside the filter for easy cleaning. There have also been shop made retrofits, for paddles.

The cartridge filter will help to keep your lungs (& shop) cleaner, while increasing the CFM/air flow!!!
