Recently I've been helping my nephew make a bunch of cutting boards to help fund his first semester in college. Basically a lot of tablesaw, jointer, and surface planer work. During the midst of it all the dust collector just quit working all of a sudden. I did basic troubleshooting. The unit powers on but there is no suction. There are no clogs. It's not full. No obvious leaks or tears in the hoses. Could it be the impeller? Very similar to this model.... https://www.rockler.com/dust-right-reg-wall-mount-dust-collector-650-cfm .40

This isn't anything new to most of you but I just picked up the HF wireless remote receptacles - $20 for 3 receptacles and one remote. They're good for 15 amps each. I was looking at the high dollar versions and then kept hearing people talk about using $7 Christmas tree light remotes or picking up $5 versions on the bargain table and I really didn't want to spend a bundle on this. But it was getting old being all set up to make cuts and then realize I had not turned on the DC or shop vac, have to put everything down, walk across the shop to turn the DC or shop vac on, and then get ready again to cut or sand. My concern was the current draw so I checked them this morning and to my surprise the running current on the HF dust collector is 10.5 amps. My '6.5 HP' shop vac pulls 12 amps. If I recall the HF pulled nearly 12 with the 5 micron bag filter but I just changed to the Wynn 0.5 micron filter with a lot more surface area and correspondingly a bit less current draw. I guess time will tell as to how these hold up but as of now I have one spare. $20, not a bad deal - David

I built a wheelchair ramp for a lady, and her husband has been collecting pocket knives for over 40 yrs. He wants to show his appreciation, so he showed me his collections and insisted that a take a handfull. I refused, and he proceeds to go through some not on display, and hands me some knives and insisted that I accept them. One was a new Craftsman pocket knife in mint new condition. It is my understanding that not only has sold that brand name, but have also stopped making them available. Its value should climb in the future. Er, I hope!
