cyclone

I am looking into the cyclone world after doing some work in the garage and found it harder to breath and ultimately got sick from the dust. I want to make an upgrade but I want to do it right. We have many folks with 3HP or greater and they all seem very pleased. My question is do you feel...

I hate to cross post but this just too cool to ignore. All of you guys with plans to make a Thein separator may want to keep an eye out for the yellow Dyson vacs on the curb. http://festoolownersgroup.com/festool-jigs-tool-enhancements/cyclone/?topicseen <object width="640" height="390"><param...

My company is throwing out an old 2hp Jet Blower that still runs great. I am going to take it home and would love to use it as the blower for a "homemade" cyclone. I am sure that someone on here has either done it or researched it. Also, do any of the cyclone companies sell the cyclone...

Complete JDS Cyclone-II 2HP Cyclone Dust Collector with modified bin-full windows (overview)

Close-up of interior of bin-full windows. Note use of rivets and silicone to seal lexan windows to waste bin.

Interior view of modified waste bin. Also note use of aluminum HVAC tape (with through rivets to provide necessary electrical bond to each stip) used to dissipate/ground unwanted static buildup.

Close-up of exterior of modified waste bin. I installed two pairs of these windows at ~70% full and ~90% Full. By installing a pair of windows at each level you can use a flashlight to visually detect levels well below either window.

General overview of bin-full window modification. Notice the two pairs of windows, providing not only obvious indication at ~70% and ~90% Full, but also allowing the use of a flashlight to view bin status at much lower limits as well.

Lot #1 in this Spring's Raffle is a powerful dust collector built to the design specifications of Bill Pentz, considered my most people to be the expert in small workshop dust collection. With a 5 HP Leeson motor (220V/21.5 Amp), the CV1800 is the last dust collector you'll ever need in your...

I know this sounds like a ball game score, but it's the results I got today. First let me say there is no way my DC can do what it does (according to the "experts"). It's a 1.0 HP Cincinnati Fan blower mounted on top of a "Wood Magazine Cyclone" My piping starts as 6" metal, with two 45's, then...

I recently reviewed the Dust Deputy DIY (Cyclone Only) and was very pleased with the results. For those of you (like me) with a small shop that relies on a shop-vac for saw dust clean-up and extraction this thing is a must. http://www.garagewoodworks.com/Dust_Deputy.php NO...

Looks like a good deal on a cyclone. Not mine, not affiliated. http://www.woodweb.com/exchanges/machinery/posts/435558.html

The cyclone has an 8" inlet port ... and the duct is 8". I opted to use the Nordfab duct and it seems to be an exact size match to the inlet port ... so I'm going to have to do something to hook them together. Any ideas? I could resort to tape, but I'd prefer something a bit neater. How...

:icon_cheers Finally! :icon_cheers It was a LONG, LONG weekend of WORK ... but it's in! Through a great connection & friend here on North Carolina Woodworker, I was able to get a new sub-panel about about 13 new drops in the shop (most 220v) so that I can stop the plug-switcher game. My...

For the past 5 years I've been running a Jet 1100 dust collector in my hobby shop, and in that time I've tossed around "when" I'm going to upgrade to a cyclone system with better fine dust collection. Well, I'm back at it again ... :eusa_thin Cyclone talk has become similar to a religious, or...

I rolled the planer, DC and my shop-made cyclone outdooors, to plane the oak I got from Tracy down to 1/2" thickness. I was working on a small TV table for LOML, and had glued up the panels for the shelves. Sure enough, one panel had a slight bump (the other one was in 2 pieces, so I just...
