Canister filters are the latest and arguably the best innovation to come along in dust collection technology in quite some time. General International canister filters are made of the absolute highest quality materials available. Featuring extra sturdy support frames, polycarbonate re-enforced pleated inner filter and an extra heavy gauge screen mesh for added support. As compared to traditional filter bags the advantages include: Durability û unless it is pierced or somehow damaged in handling or transport, under normal use a canister filter will generally last the life of your dust collector. Better filtration û 99% of 2 micron particles, 86% of 1 micron particles & 48% of 0.3 micron particles. Faster/easier cleaning û An external handle rubs a shaker paddle around the inside of the pleats to shake free any built-up dust inside the filter. *For model 10-816 simply blow compressed air over the filter from the exterior to dislodge built-up dust. No more removing, handling, vacuuming or washing dust encrusted bags.
Maintains maximum airflow longer for more efficient filtration û because of the pleated design, a canister filter offers up to 50 times more surface area than a filter bag. This helps maintain maximum airflow substantially longer than a partially clogged filter bag.
