    What’s a good air filter for an oe 372? The oem filter is $$$$$! I saw the redbeard filters. They are washable, so that’s a plus. There is a mesh filter as well. I have run mesh on a few saws for years with good results and am tempted to just go that route.

    People say they clean the oem flocked filter, but you can’t get all the crud out of a flocked filter.

    Anyone have experience with alternatives?

    Low top OEM mesh is like under $30 and doesn’t let fines through. Hightop you can the Chinese ones for like $6.99 and not even worry about cleaning them.
