Hello,

I have a Jet AFS-1000B air filtration unit, and I am wondering about when to change the filter.

The manual says that the inner filter can be washed or blown out. It doesn’t say anything about the outer filter, and isn’t very specific about when a filter needs replacement.

I am a hobby worker and on average don’t use my shop more than 20 hours a week. I do a lot of sanding though, often by hand.

Any suggestions? Thanks you…

I just take the dust collector hose or shop vac every couple of days and vac off the outside of the intake filter. It still looks new and the air is still clean. -- measure once, keep cuttin' til it fits
