thanks to Splint Eastwood (Matt) for helping me make a Thein Separator. Turned out to be much easier than I expected. Whenever I researched it, I ended up at a site with a wall of text and would blank out trying to read it.
It's a huge upgrade from my last one. It was leakey because the ribbed hose went inside rather than over the connectors and I never could get a satisfactory seal.
Between cleaning the filter and changing over to the new setup, the air flow increase is incredible. It even sucks up small bolts and chunks of wood now, before they wouldn't even move.
We made a sidetrip to Woodcraft for some supplies and had a major droolfest over the new Rikon 12" jointer planar combo. Then had some beef brisket at Danny's BBQ. IMO, they have some of the best BBQ around, and some of the cutest waitresses. :wink_smil
I also got a chance to see his new chessboard, really great craftsmanship and picked up alot of good tips.
