Testing for DC Leakage

Hi,

Long time listener, first time caller ;-))

I just bought a Jet 1100CK DC and set it up last weekend. I thought I read
somewhere that some people have found leaks in their new DC's. What is the
best way to test to make sure that I get the most out of this unit.

Thanks

Post again and tell us what kind of hook-up you are using.

You need one of those hand held smoke generators, often used in buildings
to check for air leakage (check the links below). In this case you would
be looking for air leaking INTO the ductwork or component parts at the
seams. You squirt the material in the direction of the seam and watch to
see if it is sucked in or simply disperses (i.e. no leak, in that case).

Start making dust and look for any accumulation of dust around the
junctions. I have found that they are pretty easy to spot.
