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 the cubic feet per minute (CFM) airflow. For optimal performance, it is not recommended to use plastic bags in place of the factory bags.
What micron bags are included with the G8027?
The dust collector comes with 30-micron bags:
Upper bag: Fabric, 14-1/2" diameter x 24" length
Lower bag: Plastic, 14-1/2" diameter x 23" length
How many machines can I hook up to this dust collector?
The G8027 is rated at 500 CFM, suitable for one average-sized machine (like a 10" table saw) at a time. It is designed to be moved between machines as needed.
Tips for best performance:
Keep hose lengths as short as possible.
This dust collector is not intended for high-dust-volume machines, such as drum sanders or planers.
What is the impeller made of?
The impeller is constructed from steel with radial fins, 9" in diameter and 3/32" thick.
Can I use this dust collector to remove smoke or fine floating dust from my shop?
No. The capture area at the hose end is limited, so it is not effective for general air filtration. Always use a dust hood or collection shroud directly on the machine to capture dust at the source.
How do I properly ground my dust collection system?
Best practices for grounding:
Run a bare copper wire inside the hose, connecting the dust collector body to the machine body.
Spiral an external wire around the hose every 6–8 inches and connect it to both machines.
Ensure all connections are secure to prevent static buildup.
For more guidance, see the Dust Collection Basics Handbook.
Will using a smaller micron bag restrict airflow?
Very little, if any. Smaller micron bags have more openings per square inch, which generally maintains airflow while improving dust capture efficiency.
How are hoses attached to a cyclone separator like the G3376?
Hoses slide directly into the separator lid, with no additional fittings required.
