The Shopsmith heavy duty, custom made, Filter Hoods are made especially for our Dust Collector and cleans the air that's returned to the environment once the dust is removed. As it does this, a cake of dust forms on the inside of the Hood. As the cake gets thicker, the Hood traps smaller and smaller particles, increasing its dust-capturing efficiency.

Our standard 12 Inch Filter Hood is designed to capture particles as small as 7 microns in size. The 24 Inch Filter Hood will capture particles as small as 5 microns. And, the super 42 Inch Filter Hood will capture particles down to an amazing 1 micron in size!

The 24 Inch & 42 Inch Filter Hoods offer up to four times the surface area of our original equipment 12 Inch Filter Hood, and that helps them maintain optimum airflow, even though the internal cake is thickening and the particle size is getting smaller.

Made of a special polyester felt, all our Filter Hoods are fully washable, although this is seldom necessary. When you feel that the airflow has been reduced below a level that you're comfortable with, simply turn on your dust collector and tap the sides of the hood firmly several times to dislodge the cake from the inside of Your Filter Hood.

The 42 Inch hood comes complete with a Support Rod, Mounting Brackets, a Drilling Template and complete instructions for attaching the rod to your DC-6000 or DC-3300 Dust Collector.

The DC-330L filter hood (503600) is designed specifically for the DC-330L Dust Collection System. Purchase a new DC-330L filter hood and make your CD-330L look like new again.
