I just finished assembling the HF Dust Collector (http://www.harborfreight.com/2-hp-industrial-5-micron-dust-collector-97869.html). It took a while to get to this installation as I had to "rearrange" the shop first to set up a place to locate it. The assembly went well, rather easy actually, but I am disappointed with the casters & the 4" wye that came with it. And, for some reason - perhaps assuming too much - the system is louder than I expected
All four casters are the "locking" type and do not swivel well (I made sure they were not locked). I may install larger dia. casters that I have on hand, or change the whole installation to something similar to what Brent did. I liked his installation and tried to find Brent's post but couldn't; must be buried in another thread. Anyone know where it's located?
Also, the 4" wye seems quite a bit loose to hold suction. It seems like I may have to wrap some tape to tighten things up.
I'm curious if any of you that have this DC experienced the same things.
