I recently purchased the Jet AFS 1000B. I was amazed at how quickly the filter was clogged up, thinking one the one hand this might get pretty expensive, but also thinking on the other hand, I am glad I didnt breathe all that. I am very happy with this filtering system. I cannot quantify how well it cleans the air, but visibly pulls a lot of stuff out of the air. But this review is for the Wynn Environmental replacement outer filters.

Replacement outer filters from Jet are upwards of $24 (at Rockler). Somewhat underhandedly, Jet makes them slightly smaller than standard sizes.

I did a little research and found these at Wynn Environmental.

My kitchen exhaust fan does not work good enough and I want to install a new one. What’s the cost of replacing an old kitchen fan, also how hard is it to do the work yourself? Thank you.

Hi Hamilton, I’m assuming that your kitchen exhaust fan is the standard residential type rather than one of the commercial grade units that are popular in many upscale kitchens these days. If my assumption is correct, installing a new exhaust fan in your kitchen shouldn’t set you back too much.

So my brand new Hammer A3 31 jointer/planer combo machine was delivered yesterday. I would like to thank everyone that has posted info on their machine here on the forum. A large part of the reason I bought this machine sight unseen was the great reviews. I have to say the reviews were correct this is a great machine. I put it together, took about 3 hrs, including the carrymaster casters. (Again thanks for the great idea, I love them.) This is a one time buy, it is heavy, well made,and the fit and finish are perfect. I got a couple of extras as advised, the small extension table and the digital handwheel for the planer table.
