I need some new dust collector filter bags. I’ve been using the basic stock bags that came on it and want some 1 micron upgrades. Thought about a cyclone but harder to justify that for how much im in my shop. Wheres a good place to by them? Looking at custom bags since 24 inch diameter is hard to find.

Way back when I had a dust collector like that I went to American fabric filter I think woodcraft has them too if there’s one in your area

I added a large diesel truck filter to mine. Check out the pictures on the [Amazon listing](https://amzn.to/3TAtdEk) to get an idea. They’re regularly around $170. I know that’s not cheap, but works a lot better than any filter bag.

**EDIT**  
Just search for **Donaldson P181038** - the amazon links tend to change over time

I had American filter bag customized to my shop ceiling height. It was on a 2HP Delta dust collector extending 16ft up. The thing was marvelous. Now I am in a smaller shop and I had to cut it down to 6ft. Still works well but not as good as it use to.
