I place a plastic garbage bag over the bottom bag on my system. Will putting a big horn on top reduce suction?

It is a dust collector bag for a 20" single stage delta or other brand dust collector. If the bag spec is the same as the original, or should I say the one you are using (depending on micron rating), it wouldn't matter and the trash bag is at the bottom, directly below the filter bag, doesn't do anything but collect the chips and dust. We have used them in a pinch.

Actually it will work better with the Big Horn. I use the same setup with a Jet plastic collection bag. When I switched out the unit's factory supplied top bag for the Big Horn it was like a new machine.

It does to the loose ones. There are little brushes at the bottom which help, but you probably want to use the micro bags to trap them all. But again, the problem with the micro bags are that they block/reduce the suction as they trap the dirt/algae.

Place items in the bag, "zip" the bag shut, then attach a vacuum to the bag (circular plastic thing), and turn on the vacuum - the vacuum sucks all the air out.

No. It is the bag which prevents the debris from being sucked through the motor and blown out the exhaust.

I think if the bag is new to leave it. It might reduce the CFM somewhat but I would leave it myself. You'll find that your shop vac hardly gets anything in it with this set up but there is still some material getting into the canister.

It's designed so you can pull the bags out the bottom. Mine is set in a low cabinet so I just take the bag on top.

Just hold your regular vacuum hose up to the bag's opening and voila, it sucks the air out of the bag. It's very easy and kind of fun.

Probably but I save $$ by just using the plastic shopping bags given by the supermarkets and by not purchasing garbage bags at all. Any plastic bag with side handles will work as you fold the bag over the top and the side handles hook around the structure to keep it in place. We love ours as we have a trash chute in our bldg where we need to keep our bags of waste to a minimum- and the contraption conceals nicely under our sink cabinet. Highly recommended!!

I buy bags for mine they work much better than the filter for fine dust and debris. You can pretty much fill them with no loss of suction.

yes has a lot of suction but it clogs the bag, you have to really work to clean it out

I have two dogs and a cat, so I check my bag frequently because of the volume of pet hair in the house. I would think, however, that when the bag is getting full, the vacuum will not pick up particles as efficiently. You might notice deminished suction, I would think.

Delta and others use 30 mil bags to keep the blower speed up to aid in collecting saw dust, planer chips, etc., and the larger bag size aids in that function. The Big Horn bag will provide greater filtration at some cost in blower speed due to the higher filtration capacity of the thicker closely woven cloth. If you are looking for a cleaner, healthier shop, go with the Big Horn. Its smaller height--31 inches can easily be adapted to the bag hanger on your collector. You'll be amazed with your cleaner shop.

No, it can only be used with the bags made for it or bags similar to those bags. It can only suck air from the bag while the suction area is laying on a flat surface.

The vacuum tube attaches to the red part at the fan intake, opposite the handle. The bag replaces the blower tube. So I guess the answer is no, since everything that is sucked up passes thru the fan and gets chewed up to some extent. I'm sure anything solid that is sucked up would damage or jam the fan blades.

Not too much. Take off the bag and put on blower attachment. Take off sucker and snap guard in place.

Yes, otherwise the vacuum will float or tip over. Attach the weights. That will also help it stay close to the ground.

Yes and no.......when I connect the vacuum to a tool I do not see a difference with dust and chips collected but if I connect the wand to clean the floor then I notice decreased suction.
