Dustbag modified

[Ivan T]

Do not like the dustbag cap flopping around while using my new HK55. I took 2 small magnets and placed 1 inside the bag and the other on the outside so they held each other in place. Put a small screw into the dustbag cap. The cap will now stay in place on the top of the bag and is easily removed to close the bag. Using the magnets I didn't have to put any kind of holes in the Dustbag cloth.

Slick solution. Thanks for sharing it.

Great idea. Thank you

Another thing i came across accidentally is that the flap can be wedged to hold the riving knife out of the way if need be.

Very nice, my only modification would be to bond a magnet into the dust cap rather than the screw.
