Can I replace the factory bag with a plastic garbage bag?
While a plastic garbage bag might make dust disposal easier, it reduces the effective filter area, which decreases airflow (CFM) and reduces overall collection efficiency. This is not recommended.
What micron bags come with the G1163?
The G1163 comes with a 30-micron fabric bag, designed for efficient dust filtration of wood dust.
How many machines can I hook up to this unit?
The G1163 is rated at 537 CFM, suitable for one average-sized machine, such as a 10" table saw. It is designed to be moved from one machine to another as needed. To maintain optimal performance:
Keep hose lengths as short as possible.
This dust collector is not designed to handle drum sanders or planers.
What is the impeller made of?
The impeller is cast aluminum with a radial fin design and 3/32" thick blades, providing durability and consistent airflow.
Can I use the dust collector to exhaust smoke or fine floating dust in my shop?
No. The capture area at the hose end is limited, so dust hoods are essential for collecting dust at the source on each machine.
Is airflow restricted if I put a smaller micron bag on the dust collector?
Very little, if at all. Smaller micron bags have smaller openings but a higher density per square inch, allowing airflow to remain nearly unchanged.
What is the best way to install a ground wire on my system?
Run a bare copper wire inside the hose, connecting one end to the dust collector and the other to the machine.
Ensure secure connections to both machine bodies.
Spiral an external wire around the hose every 6–8 inches, grounding it to both machines.
Refer to the G2525 Dust Collection Basics Handbook for detailed instructions.
How are the hoses attached to the G3376 Cyclone Separator?
Hoses slide directly into the separator lid, requiring no additional fittings for attachment.
