Easier Dust Bag Remounting

This article is from Issue 44 of Woodcraft Magazine.

Remounting my dust-collector bag after emptying it was always a hassle because it was difficult to hold the bag in place while reconnecting the strap clamp around the collector’s flange. (My wife especially didn’t like being commandeered to help with the operation.) Then a friend suggested temporarily hanging the bag on the flange with rare-earth magnets while reconnecting the clamp. Works like a charm, and I can easily do the job myself.
