Air Compressor Down, Lasers, HAAS, and Woodshop affected

DMS General

With the Air Compressor down, the Lasers and HAAS are non-functional, ie no workie.

We also cannot clear the dust collector in the woodshop. so the big tools that connect to the dust collector are also down.

That’s exactly why I want to get it done asap tomorrow afternoon.

I used the shopvac Thursday night and removed the bulk of the chips/dust from the dust collector filter. It is not perfect but is >95% cleared of debris (about 1.5 shopvac canisters worth, I’d estimate), and is probably useable.

I did not reassemble the filter into the collector.

Once it becomes totally impacted like that, the dust cake becomes embedded into the filter media, and only blowing it out from the reverse side will clear it enough to restore suction.
