Sorry; I didn't look closely enough. I did follow the first link shown back to where a poster was having delivery problems from the vendor, which was Wen. Looked them up and found the manual for their big dust collector, which had the parts diagram:
I found the impeller part number and searched it on the parts page, and found this:
I don't know if that is the part you want, as there is a smaller, portable dust collector available, but the impeller is not listed in that manual by PN.Comment

Well, well, well! I don't think I've been here since before the name change, but the site popped up on a bandsaw search and miraculously my account still works. And I recognize some names.
We just went through our 2nd move since I was last here, and am once again trying to figure out shop setup. At my old place I had the HF motor mounted top-hat on a Super Dust Deputy exhausting through a Wynn filter, and I was trying to decide whether I had space for it. And then I stumble across this thread and an apparently drop-in impeller upgrade which was always the weak point of the HF. Cool!
And then I get to the Wen site and it's sold out. Blah.Hopefully back in stock soon.
dbhost - did you measure current draw before/after on the HF? Curious as to whether there is a noticeable increase with additional loading.Comment

I am on a 20 amp dedicated circuit so no worries on that.
The Wen and Rikon impellers I believe are the same item specs wise. You can see the running and inrush current shown in this video..
