No, I think the other side has the small hole.i can check tomorrow if no one else knows.

The nameplate does not mention CFM. I have had one for five years and it works well. The type and condition of your filter(s) will affect CFM

The filter is threaded on both ends. It's best to use quick connects to protect the plastic threads.

It would be hard to make fit. The problem is with the bolt it comes with. It's an offset bolt for like a carb style filter. Like the big round ones with the wingnut on top. Depending on how handy your are you might be able to make it work. I can email a pick of mine installed if u like. Let me know. My email is jccarmickle99@yahoo.com

The parts manual for my vacuum stated that I needed the VF4000 however I ordered the VF400RT. The only difference I see is that the "RT" doesn't require the plate, just the nut (because the plate is built onto the filter).

For some years, with the HM1865 I had, I was able to carefully pry the slotted fan cover off around its edges with a dull, thin blade from a butter-type table knife.(Not a sharp knife!) It snaps back on easily. You can clean the top of the plastic blades that way, and reach most of the bottoms, carefully and without bending anything. Clean inside the filter cover as well, from the bottom, when you remove it from the unit.

sounds like the threads are recessed into the filter so the nut can catch it. go to a hardware store and see if they sell a threaded extension ...if not notch the filter so that the nut fits.

I honestly don't know, what I did with mine is the filter part fit in my old holder so I didn't bother with the new one. I only wanted the filter part. Sorry if this doesn't help.

I am honestly not sure on the model of the filter I have. But I do know the "cover" comes off and that's where you usually stick the filter. Now- I should note- these particular filters seem to be "thicker" than the regular ones... and I actually had to tape the cover to the base so it would stay on. Other than that, it works great!

I don't know. I bought a washable filter along with my unit, when I bought it new. For the cost of a common filter versus the Jet, I would try a standard filter. The worst that could happen is that it would not work, or you could build a frame to mount the cheaper filter in. It may require the cleaning of the inner filter more often, but I don't see where it would damage the unit. Can't see it doing any harm!

Yes, it's just a flat piece that you "cut to fit" (sharp scissors will work) to match the shape of the old filter or the inside coil area. I use a bit of masking tape around the edges (about 3/8" wide) to keep it in place around the old filter "Frame", should it have one and mark it with the installation date for future reference.

I'm not sure why you would have removed the wingnut. You do need to remove the loop/screw top, but not the wingnut. I'm attaching a picture of where it goes on the bracket that secures the center post.

If you purchase the 3 cup then you shouldn't need the extra piece. That is to make 3 cups in the 6 cup one. Also the gasket should be in the top part where the filter is. It comes out with a butter knife.

The one that I purchased did have a plate that held the filter under the sink. We placed it low so that the filter also rested on the bottom of the counter.

The nut under the filter can be loosened with a pair if pliers, then use fingers. Why do you want to take the filter off?. I use mine only for flour & a good shake after use seems to keep it clean. I have a Tupperware hand sifter for cocoa which has a bottom & top so no need to wet that either. Alison F 4/11.14

No. Filter is already oiled by manufacturer. You will need to purchase a re-oil kit for maintaing filter quality.

Yes, the screw top does come off. The opening is only 1-1/2 inches so I don't know if this will work with your filter or not.
