Dear John,
The AF-22 you have is quite noisey due to the fact it is running a 50Hz
impeller(Fan)with the 60Hz moto it is running almost 20% faster. The on
thing we can say is it really sucks! Reguarding fan balance it is
static balanced
and there for you see a little wobble at the end of the shut down
cycle( after the power has been turned off)this is normal. However a
quality motor shop could balance it as an assembly. I don't know the
cost it could vary depending where you have it done.
Thanks,
JH

My AF22 is single phase. And it is one of the noisey ones. I use the
x10 remote on it and that works fine. When Geoff visited the shop
about
six months ago he noted that the motorfan may be slightly out of
balance which may account for the noise. I'm going to check with John
Hartshorne to see what recommendations there could be to check for
balance. One thing I'd like to see Felder offer is a larger pleated
drum filter. The regular is great but when you use a drum sander or
cut
mdf or other sheet goods, you have to be careful it doesn't clog too
quickly. More frequent cleanouts of the pleats are necessary to get
out
the superfine particles. Still it is compact and very powerful. I
wonder if I could retrofit the new LN motor and fan.
Take care,
