I love the clear view of what is in the bag so I know when to empty it. Saves a lot of mess, just tie and toss. However, I found that the bags are difficult to install because the bag kept slipping off the retaining ring when I tried to insert the ring into the housing. Finally resorted to a few pieces of duct tape to hold it and got it into place.

These clear bags work very well on my Jet DC-1200CK, but they are way too expensive. Thus the reason for only two stars. If one is willing to purchase a carton of 100 bags it's much cheaper to use a company like ULINE at www.uline.com (I have no vested interest in ULINE, but did a simple search for similar bags).

Made of "heavy duty" clear plastic. I like these clear bags because you know when the bag is full. Easy clean-up. Just remove the bag, tie it and toss. I would give them five stars if Jet gave you more bags for this price.

Clear bags are the only way to go. I've now used about 20 of these bags. They seem heavy duty but you should treat them with kid gloves because they split open very easily. So, if you set a full bag next to your garbage can, beware. A little bump from something, anything, and suddenly you'll have a 6" gash in the bag. Also, I've received an order where 4 of the 5 bags had tears in them.

These bags are too expensive. I went down to the local hardware store and bought a box of 20 "contractors" cleanup bagss for thirteen dollars. They are made of heavy duty (black) plastic, and they fit into the dust collector (actually they are a little long, but if you overlap them over the retaining ring by a foot, they work well). They are sturdy and hold up well. I have been doing this with my dust collector for the last year and it works well.

For the price these should really be constructed better. A recent box had two that split along the bottom seam, and two that punctured within a few days of installing. The punctures were from debris sucked into the collector, not from anything hitting the bag externally. Unfortunately you usually find the hole(s) after you realize your shop is getting 'foggy'. Hours spent cleaning sawdust off everything is better spent making more.

I bought the bags because they are good quality and fit perfectly. I would rather the price be a little lower but I guess Jet has to make money somewhere.

This collector has performed flawlessly for me for years. It has enough power to run a fully piped home workshop. I have about about 10 collection points and get good dust removal.

these are nothing than extreemely high priced trash bags. there is no way of using them on a dust collector. Other than dumping the dust collector bag into them. Why would JET offer them to their customers as dust collection bags I don't know. A waste of money.
