Thread: Dust Collector Bags Quality Issues

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has had any issues of late with their dust collector bags? I've recently purchased a new stack of bags from carbatec and my first thought when I installed one was..."these are thinner than before" didn't think much of it till about a week later when I noticed small piles of dust building up at the vent and a nearly completely empty bag with a hole in it.

Thought might have been a bad bag, or must have snagged something. Replaced the bag which seemed to be fine till I went to empty the half filled bag to notice the bottom had split similarly to the last one. But this time round, it obviously had enough dust in the bag to partially seal it rather than spill out all over the place. Still plenty of dust in the enclosure.

I have since found my old stash which I had misplaced and confirmed my suspicions that the newer bags are probably half the thickness of the older bags.

Those who buys the bags knows they are not cheap. But if that's all Carbatec have, then taking it back isn't going to do me any good. So don't know if it's even worth kicking up a fuss about it.

So anyone else having issues? Or did I just get a bad batch.
