Hi,
My name is Lappa. I've modified a 2hp 5" FM300 extractor which now has 6" inlet, 6" outlet and a 6" inlet to the dust separator. I blocked off the old 5" inlet to the separator. I have now found I have too much airflow for the pleated filter (rise in back pressure) so I have opened the 5" inlet and fitted a Thein separator in a 200 drum, in parallel with the main filter.
Works great. Airflow in my main workshop Duct has increased nearly 100 CFM.
I'd post some pictures but not sure how to do it. Thanks for any help.
