DIY Cyclone Dust Collector
Ok, so it looks like I’m starting to finally get into dust collection. My lungs are probably very grateful. I found a video on Youtube that describes using a series of cups (bottoms cut off) to make a DIY cyclone dust collector for a shop vac. Well today I tried it and it works rather well. It catches greater than 95% of the sawdust before it enters your shopvac. The goal here is to prevent sawdust from clogging your shop vac filter. Check out the pictures below. In the picture below you can see the sawdust flying around in a circle.
