OK. So you are looking to upgrade your cloth bag (or cartridge) to a high-efficiency pleated filter. First, go ahead and remove the upper bag. Measure the outside diameter of the upper rim.

Is your Rim under 14”?

OK, your Rim is larger than 14″.

Is your Rim under 16”?

OK, your Rim is larger than 16″

Is your Rim under 18”?

OK, your Rim is larger than 18″

Is your Rim under 20”?

OK, do you have a Conical Pan with a center Hole?

(It should look like the first image below)

OK, what is the size of the center Hole? It is larger than 15″?

Are you looking for an After Filter for a Cyclone?

OK, you are setting up a Cyclone system.

DIY Tyler is a woodworking enthusiast who has done several great how-to videos on dust collection.

Is this a DIY Tyler setup?

Typically, any system with the main pipe of 5” Inside Diameter or less, or under 2 HP, will be under 750 CFM. Any system with a 6” or larger pipe, or 3 HP and larger, is likely to move more than 750 CFM.

Is your Air Flow Under 750 CFM?

OK, your Air Flow is under Under 750 CFM. You can purchase a 13F filter (click here), then you can fabricate a bracket like this:

For a DIY Tyler setup, you should buy a 13F filter (click here to buy) and then follow the instructions in Tyler’s YouTube video (click here).

OK, you are not retrofitting a Bag unit, and you are not fitting a Cyclone with an After Filter.

It looks like you are working on a Special. Please visit our custom area or feel free to contact us.

Excellent. All of our 35 Series will fit perfectly on your dust collector - Now let’s decide how Efficient your filter should be.

When we discuss Efficiency, we are referring to the filter’s ability to remove microscopic particles from the air. Under actual field conditions, a MERV 10 filter will remove 99.99% of 0.5-micron particles. A MERV 15 filter will remove 99.999%. By comparison, the cloth bags found on most dust collectors will remove 98.7% of 1.0-micron particles.

Bottom line…the MERV 10 filter will bypass about 100 times fewer particles than a bag. The MERV 15 will bypass 1000 times less. For a more detailed understanding, go to our Filter Efficiency page.

Are you interested in MERV 10, or MERV 15?

OK. The Gasket on the Wynn filter measures 17.5” OD x 12.5” ID, and it needs a flat surface to seal against. To accomplish this you will build yourself a Donut. Then you can click here to select the efficiency of your new filter.

How do you build a Donut? Basically, it’s just a circle of plywood or MDF, with a 10” hole in the middle.

Some good examples of Donuts look like this:
