I plan on making the same impellor mod to my HF. I also plan to vent outside through the wall due to my location. I believe I read somewhere here that venting outside would increase my amp draw and am concerned that adding the Rikon impellor might take it over the top. Can anyone clarify or confirm for me? Thanks!

I honestly don't understand how anyone is getting away with swapping in the Rikon impeller on the HF dust collector. I just tried and got a 65 amp draw on startup. The motor just doesn't seem to be built to start turning something that large and heavy. It tripped the breaker it was on and the 4 breakers under it in the panel. Any tips? Because I just don't see a way to make this work.
