Hello folks,
Quick question:
I just moved my cyclone dust collector to a space below the shop to help eliminate the awful noise. Unfortunately, the space is about 6 inches too short for me to fit a large metal can to collect the chips. So, I had to use a much smaller 25” tall can.
My question is: can you use a horizontal bin (of some sort) instead of a vertically placed bin (which is all I ever see with a Google search). In other words, can the collector bin be long in the horizontal direction where there is much more space, vs. the vertical can which greatly limits my cubic inches – I’d have to empty the can much more often and risk clogging the system if it overflows.
I am wondering if the physics of the system means that the bin has to be vertical, but not sure.
Hope this makes sense.
Thanks,
-Bill
