Why is my Woodstock Dust Collector not collecting dust properly?
- M
  Michael CollinsJul 26, 2025
  If your Woodstock Dust Collector isn't collecting dust effectively, several factors could be at play. Start by checking if the dust collection bags are full and empty them if necessary. Inspect the inlet grate for any obstructions and clear them. Ensure the dust collector is close enough to the suction point, with minimal sharp bends in the ducting. Confirm that the lumber being processed has less than 20% moisture content. Check for leaks in the ducting and seal them. Finally, make sure there are no restrictions in the ducting and that the ducting and ports are appropriately sized.

  Kyle MeyersAug 2, 2025
  If your Woodstock Dust Collector motor won't start or growls upon startup, there are several potential causes: * A tripped power supply fuse or circuit breaker: Disconnect power and inspect the circuit for shorts, repairing as needed. Replace the breaker if necessary. * A broken toggle switch: Disconnect power and use an ohmmeter to check the switch terminals for continuity. Replace the switch if required. * A faulty start capacitor: Replace the start capacitor. * A dented motor fan cover: Replace the motor fan cover (and the fan if damaged). * A faulty motor: Replace the motor.

How to fix a loud, vibrating Woodstock Dust Collector?
- T
  Tina StoneAug 9, 2025
  Excessive noise or vibration from your Woodstock Dust Collector can stem from a few issues. First, ensure the dust collector is on a flat, stable surface. Next, inspect the impeller fan for damage like dents, bends, or loose fins, replacing it if necessary. Make sure all fasteners on the dust collector are tight. If the impeller is loose on the motor shaft, replace both the motor and impeller as a set if there is damage to the motor shaft and the impeller hub. Lastly, check the motor fan cover for dents and replace it if needed.

Why is my Woodstock Dust Collector motor running slow?
- M
  mendozadannyAug 17, 2025
  A slower than normal motor speed in your Woodstock Dust Collector can be due to a few reasons. Check for poor electrical connections and repair any loose, corroded, or overheated connections. Ensure the power source voltage is adequate, and reduce the length of any extension cord being used. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the motor itself may be faulty and require replacement.
